  1. “Thailand supports the women and peace and security agenda. We encourage the Council to do more to increase the numbers of female peacekeepers, women leading peace operations and female mediators in negotiations. I hereby pledge my support for the "HeForShe" initiative for gender equality and strong commitment to do more towards that goal. Lastly, may I also congratulate the new members of the Council. I am confident that they will not only invigorate the Council, but also provide it with the new ideas and fresh thinking that will further advance the Council's mission in the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  2. “To promote inclusive development for peace and security, all aspects of the work of the United Nations - human rights, development and peace and security - must go hand-in-hand. Therefore, we must ensure coherence among key bodies in the United Nations system. That will help us to develop the capacity to take early and timely action to address conflicts at their root causes. Inclusiveness also applies to the work of the Council. We welcome the ongoing efforts to engage with non-members and all the relevant stakeholders so that all voices are heard and heeded in the Council's deliberations, because they bear upon the peace and security of all. Before I conclude, I wish to pay my warmest tribute to President Bachelet for her commitment throughout all these years to the promotion of the rights and empowerment of women.”

  3. “Thailand believes that inclusive development in which no one is left behind and all have equal access to opportunities for a better future would serve to advance our goal of sustainable peace and security for all. That is true at both the national and international levels. Inclusiveness must therefore be at the core of the post-2015 development agenda. In so far as peace and security are concerned, inclusive development must be an integral part of conflict prevention and peacebuilding. Thailand believes that inclusive development is about placing people at the centre of our efforts. Therefore, the work of the Council should always bear in mind the nexus between development and security and the direct impact on the lives and livelihoods of the people.”

  4. “Many of the conflicts that we have witnessed - be they within or between States - are rooted in the underlying problems of poverty, social injustice and inequalities and disparities within and between countries. Those give rise to frustration, marginalization and alienation, which breed extremism and lead to conflict. We therefore have to tackle the root causes if we are to stem the rising tide of extremism as we have saw in recent shocking events. We know that sanctions and military means are simply not enough to combat extremism and terrorism. Instead, promoting inclusive political, economic and social policies must also be part and parcel of the solution.”

  5. “Thailand is honoured to be part of the deliberations today. We welcome this opportunity to contribute our thinking on the very important topic that we are addressing today. Since the establishment of the United Nations, much of the world's hopes and aspirations for peace and security have depended upon how well the Security Council carries out its responsibilities. What is clear is that the issues impacting our common peace and security have become more complex - be they inter-State or intra-State conflicts - and that there has been an increase in non-traditional security challenges. It is in that changing context that the work ofthe Council must go beyond conflict resolution. Increasingly, the Council must gear its work towards conflict prevention, in particular addressing root causes.”
