  1. “If the work required is to develop templates for accessing resource support for SIDS, the United Nations system must accept responsibility for formulating them, so that, over time, we can together build a sustainable and prosperous world based upon the rule of law that guarantees protection for all of us.”

  2. “All of that cannot be discussed without recognizing the importance of increasing women's participation in all gender-related activities aimed at preventing and resolving armed conflict, the maintenance ofpeace and security, and post-conflict peacebuilding. The lessons that we have learned from our civil conflict on the island of Bougainville in the 1990s is a case in point, which has proved to us that women are just as capable peacemakers and peacebuilders as men and that they must be integrated in the decision-making process and given leadership roles so as to enable development. In conclusion, the challenges faced by SIDS are serious. We need to take practical measures directed at achieving the outcomes that we want.”

  3. “SIDS are hampered by resource constraints from being able to ensure sustainable management and exploitation of fishery resources and the blue economy. There is little or no surveillance protection for those resources, some of which problems, Mr. President, you have addressed. Our fisheries and other marine resources are being exploited by illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. We request that United Nations agencies provide relevant support through institutions such as the Pacific Islands Forum and the Forum Fisheries Agency, which are functioning effectively in SIDS regions - particularly in the Pacific - so as to enable sustainable management and protection.”

  4. “On transnational crimes, human trafficking and people smuggling, the United Nations system and the Security Council should adopt methods to weed out the root causes of illegal migration in countries of origin and deal with the challenges faced by transit nations - like Papua New Guinea - and destination countries. Under Papua New Guinean national security policy, necessary measures are being taken to combat transnational crime, including scaling up efforts in border monitoring, surveillance and control. But more needs to be done. For most SIDS, the ocean is the main source of food security and an important resource, that is, the blue economy, which needs protection so as to be able to ensure sustainable development.”

  5. “Without peace and security, sustainable development will be difficult. To achieve sustainable development requires meaningful partnerships, which requires the United Nations system to enable SIDS' adherence to the rule of law and to building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions and societies that promote and protect human rights consistent with the United Nations Charter. In that context, Papua New Guinea has committed $150 million to Pacific SIDS over the next five years to address some of their challenges in education, health, capacity-building, climate change, and infrastructure rehabilitation and development following natural disasters such as the cyclone Pam in Vanuatu. Papua New Guinea is also setting up and funding a small islands State office for the Pacific Region.”

  6. “The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change remains the primary forum to address climate-change concerns. But more agencies of the United Nations system and others are needed to be engaged, including the General Assembly, the World Bank, the Global Green Growth Institute, the Green Climate Fund and the Global Environment Facility, alongside SIDS plans, the implementation of which is constrained by lack of resources. A good example of United Nations system team work is the One UN office in Papua New Guinea, which coordinates all of the activities of the United Nations agencies consistent with national development priorities and programmes for development, including on the impacts of climate change. The nexus between sustainable development, peace and security is clear.”

  7. “Papua New Guinea supports the position to be advanced by Tonga and Maldives, as Chairs, on behalf of the Pacific small island developing States and the Alliance of Small Island States. I wish to thank you, Mr. President, for ably steering the work of the Security Council this month. We commend New Zealand's initiatives and facilitation of this important yet rare dialogue for small island developing States (SIDS). The General Assembly has recognized the unique vulnerabilities of SIDS. We therefore strongly urge the Security Council to give greater consideration to the special circumstances of SIDS in relation to both traditional and non-traditional security concerns. Much has been said by the other speakers before me on this issue.”
