“1 would like to begin by expressing my deep appreciation to the presidency of Lithuania for convening this open debate on the protection ofjournalists. This subject is particularly important to Indonesia for two reasons. The first is that we understand the significance ofthe free flow ofinformation to our efforts to institutionalize transparency and accountability. Journalists are often a critical part of that process. The second is that, in conflict situations, transparency is often the first victim. As a result, journalism and journalists journey into peril. Examples of such peril, and the tragedy that consequently befalls journalists, are not hard to find in recent or contemporary conflicts.”

“Let us work together to help the affected countries raise their capacities and resources, and strengthen a global edifice based on rights and law that can eliminate the diversion and use of these weapons. For its part, Indonesia will continue to play its role in that fight with full resolve.”

“We must work together to build a better global culture that inculcates rights and responsibilities and upholds the rule of law for everyone. The proliferation of illegal weapons is both a driver and a symptom of insecurity and instability. Effective national efforts, with greater international support, will help to produce good governance and justice and ensure rights and benefits for citizens, raising the stakes for everyone to strengthen peace. Such an environment, with a greater emphasis on the peaceful and equitable resolution of conflicts by the United Nations and States, will help efforts to defeat illegal small arms and light weapons and reduce the space in which such weapons proliferate.”

“Its merits notwithstanding, it is essential that the legitimate interests of States that import and export arms be considered equitably, and that the Treaty be exploited in a transparent, non-discriminatory and balanced way, and not so that some exporting States can pursue particular political agendas. The importance of nationally identified, nationally prioritized and nationally owned disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and security sector reform in conflict-affected countries within a framework of peacebuilding, peacemaking and development cannot be emphasized enough. At the same time, Governments, the United Nations and the international community must also have zero tolerance for violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws.”

“It is worrying that despite the fact that it is well over a decade since the adoption of the United Nations Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat, and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects, the illicit trade in and the use of small arms and light weapons continue to imperil many societies. Indonesia urges the relevant national actors to do what is necessary, and calls for robust international cooperation and assistance in implementing the Programme of Action. We note that the Arms Trade Treaty has entered into force.”

“More often than not, these weapons, coupled with unresolved grievances, poverty, wide income disparity, misgovernance, injustice and human rights abuses by State and non-State actors result in a toxic mix. Terrorism, organized crime, drugs and human trafficking, among other ills, flourish in such conditions. Indonesia therefore stresses a comprehensive and well- supported approach to tackling the menace of illicit small arms and light weapons, in which States remain responsible for regulating their legitimate arms trade, as well as curbing and eliminating the possession and use of illicit weapons. When they require assistance with their capabilities related to the control of small arms and light weapons, the United Nations and international partners give them the help they need.”

“The lack of a strong regulatory framework on the arms trade, related weak border controls, corruption, stock management tracing training and the illegal diversion and use of small arms and light weapons are vital challenges. As a strong supporter of the three pillars of the responsibility to protect, Indonesia remains deeply committed to continuing to uphold this noble imperative in consonance with the Charter of the United Nations and international law. We also fully recognize that illegal small arms and light weapons have disturbed the peace and well-being of many societies and the proliferation ofthose weapons exacerbates the challenges to the responsibility to protect.”

“Madam President, at the outset, I would like to thank you for convening this open debate and for your concept note (S/2015/306, annex). We also thank the Secretary-General, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the President of the Cote d'Ivoire chapter of the West Africa Action Network on Small Arms for their respective contributions. We also thank the Secretary- General for his report on small arms and light weapons (S/2015/289). The report contains many useful recommendations. Illegal small arms and light weapons continue to be the weapons of choice in stocking and sustaining conflicts with a devastating impact in far too many regions.”

“In addition, enhanced efforts to protect children in armed conflict should be carried out, even during peace time, including by building national capacities and institutions and by sensitizing the public at large to the issues. Indonesia will continue to put a high priority on safeguarding children.”

“Since their physical health and educational and emotional needs may persist for a long time, we also stress the role of the family and the community in creating an enabling environment for them. As a State party to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict, Indonesia is internationally committed to improving the training and capacity of its peacekeepers on the subject, including through the use of its national peacekeeping centre. Finally, I would like to underscore that the most important step in protecting children's rights is preventing conflict itself.”

“The United Nations should further strengthen its partnerships with such organizations, as well as with civil society groups that are carrying out useful work. We are therefore pleased that the Special Representative of the Secretary-General places priority on partnering with regional and subregional organizations. That will bolster the United Nations agenda on children and armed conflict. Standing resolutely together, we must all ensure that the observance of international human rights and humanitarian law on the protection of children is given the utmost priority. Indonesia also underlines the need to provide greater support for child victims, be they former under-age combatants or those affected by violence or displacement.”

“Our action should signal that there will be neither tolerance for child soldiers nor lax measures in our efforts to safeguard children and their rights in conflict. Recognizing that sensitizing non-State actors on the imperative and benefits of the protection of children poses special difficulties, the United Nations and all concerned entities should nonetheless be relentless in their efforts. While those imperatives should be clear in the United Nations peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding engagements, it is equally vital that United Nations personnel continue and strengthen their consultations and cooperation with national Governments and local authorities. Thirdly, regional and subregional organizations, such as ASEAN in our region, have demonstrated that they can be critical enablers for peace and development.”

“In that regard, we would like to share some of our views. First, the key and ongoing objective should be to assist conflict-affected States to establish well- functioning institutions that are accountable to their citizens, which can enable a legitimately representative Government to extend its writ across the entire territory of the country. The rule of law should prevail. There must not be any no-go areas where non-State actors can build sanctuaries, thereby providing oxygen for domestic or external conflict and terrorism. Secondly, we must all contribute more to strengthening the implementation of the global normative framework on the protection of children in armed conflict, within the United Nations and beyond.”

“Whether State or non-State actors, all perpetrators of violence and abuse against children in armed conflict must know that our international system will not give them any space. They will have to answer for their violations against children under the full extent of the law. We recognize that, in some situations involving non-State actors, relief might be secured for children and other vulnerable groups through negotiations. Non-State actors may well be persuaded to exercise restraint, and we should capitalize on such opportunities. Therefore, we support the incorporation of the issue into mediation in peacemaking. While we can only support such a respite - and hopefully, the eventual permanent rehabilitation of victimized children - the United Nations and the international community should develop a systematized approach.”

“That tragedy is worsened when non-State actors are involved, as they may simply refuse to heed the international legal standards for safeguarding children and other vulnerable groups, by which the States must abide. Indonesia stands for zero tolerance when it comes to violations against children in armed conflict. Notwithstanding the valuable work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and other United Nations entities to protect children - and while we welcome the encouraging progress made thanks to the "Children, Not Soldiers" campaign since its launch, in March 2014 - the United Nations needs to send out a more unequivocal message that is backed with actions.”

“Let me first extend my delegation's appreciation to you, Mr. President, for convening this timely open debate on a very important challenge regarding the protection of children in armed conflict. Indonesia aligns itself with the statement to be delivered by the representative of Viet Nam on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It is deeply regrettable that children and other vulnerable segments of the population continue to bear the brunt in a number of armed conflicts. Indeed, too often children are despicably and with impunity used as tactical agents, becoming fodder in a conflict and enduring physical and emotional scars.”

“While recognizing some strong differences on reform, we believe that there are also some quite workable proposals, such as the French proposal to regulate the use of the veto in situations of crimes against humanity. We believe that, with greater political will and mutually respectful dialogue, meaningful progress can be made. In conclusion, Indonesia strongly believes that the Organization is the best hope for multilateralism. The purposes and principles set out in the Charter remain valid. We must spare no effort to strengthen the United Nations for a more fair, peaceful and prosperous world.”

“Throughout the history of its existence, the Organization has made progress in some areas while suffering setbacks in others. We must all fully exercise our responsibilities to ensure that the United Nations fulfils its promise. That will require achieving significant progress in Security Council reform without further delay. The Council must reflect the realities of the twenty-first century. Indonesia wishes to see a Council that can demonstrate clearly that it is representative, democratic, transparent, accountable and efficient and serves the interests and is responsive to the concerns of the entire international community, rather than a select few.”

“Indonesia is aiming to become among the top 10 contributing countries. To achieve that goal by 2019, we have implemented strategies under the so-called Road Map for Vision 4,000 Peacekeepers. In the light of the current world challenges, Indonesia plans to hold in April a commemoration ofthe sixtieth anniversary of the Asian-African Conference, to reaffirm the Bandung principles. It will include an Asia-Africa summit to bring countries in the two continents closer and to strengthen cooperation while utilizing advantages derived from commonalities and diversities to contribute to global peace and security, the eradication of poverty and achieving sustainable development. The United Nations must become the true pivot of the international effort to engender shared goodwill, fraternity and peace.”

“We continue to work diligently to promote the peaceful settlement of disputes regionally and internationally. To that end, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has been tremendously important in our region. We fully support a strong partnership between the United Nations and ASEAN and between the United Nations and other relevant regional and subregional organizations. On its part, Indonesia will continue to contribute tirelessly to help enhance international peace and security. In line with our constitutional obligation, Indonesia has participated in United Nations peacekeeping missions from as early as the 1950s. Many Indonesian troops have served as Blue Helmets across the different continents. There are currently 1,850 Indonesian peacekeepers deployed with nine United Nations peacekeeping operations.”

“What is crucial is that the United Nations continues to reinvent itself to adjust to changing challenges and strategic environments, through persistent reform. However, it needs to deliver on the rightful expectations of the global citizenry. In that context, some reforms have worked well, while others have stalled. The Organization can certainly do better, and in some areas, as in conflict resolution and nuclear disarmament, it must fight for greater relevance. Indonesia underscores the peaceful settlement of disputes and giving higher priority to political dialogue, mediation and diplomacy, while consistently upholding human rights, the rule of law and the Charter of the United Nations. We emphasize the peaceful resolution of conflicts also because we have reaped direct benefits from it in our once restive province of Aceh.”

“The United Nations, and the international community in general, has unfortunately fallen short in ensuring that the Palestinian people exercise their inalienable rights and their right to independence from the foreign occupying Power. It cannot be denied that throughout its history the Organization did not effectively tackle and did not succeed in preventing many armed conflicts, genocides and other international tragedies. As we understand, the United Nations was founded to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, to promote peace, curb aggression, regulate diplomatic affairs, set an international code of law, nurture collective social development and foster prosperity.”

“The outcome of the Bandung Conference included a 10-point declaration on the promotion of world peace and cooperation, the first point ofwhich states, "Respect for fundamental human rights and for the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations". A number of independent States have emerged since then, making up the majority of the United Nations membership today. However, despite the Charter of the United Nations and the United Nations system's growing normative and operational frameworks in peace, human rights and security, the greatest challenge remains the maintenance of peace and security.”

“Furthermore, our Constitution mandates our nation to the implementation of "a world order based on freedom, perpetual peace and social justice". Those parts of our Constitution provide clear guidelines on the conduct of our foreign policy. In adhering to the implementation of its constitutional mandate, Indonesia has been relentless. In 1955, we organized the Asian-African Conference in Bandung to mobilize solidarity and to support nations under colonial Powers in achieving their independence. The Conference, which constitutes an important stepping stone in the establishment of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries in 1961, was also intended to promote global peace, security and prosperity based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all nations.”

“Let me first thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this open debate. We recognize that the theme of this discussion is very important as well as timely, particularly in conjunction with this year's marking of the seventieth anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Indeed, Indonesia's Constitution, which was developed by our founding fathers also 70 years ago, reflects in many ways the spirit that motivated the creation of this global Organization. Let me quote some parts of the preamble of the Indonesian Constitution. "Whereas independence is the inalienable right of all nations, therefore, all colonialism in the world must be abolished as it is not in conformity with humanity and justice".”

“Indonesia will continue to support the Palestinian initiative to strengthen its engagement in the global arena and search for international support through membership in various organizations. For people who have long been subjected to occupation and oppression, those peaceful means are a courageous move, and they deserve to be rewarded by encouragement and not criticism, let alone punishment.”

“It is therefore important for the United Nations not to remain on the sidelines in pursuit of a comprehensive, peaceful solution to the question of Palestine. The United Nations must play a more substantial role within the Quartet to ensure that the peace process is restarted. On a different matter, the United Nations must also shoulder the international responsibility to protect civilians on behalf of the Palestinian people, including by considering the urgency of Palestine's proposal to be placed under the United Nations protection mechanism. Furthermore, the international community should support the work of the Human Rights Council's commission of inquiry on Palestine. In conclusion, Indonesia shall remain unyielding in its support for the independence of the Palestinian people and for East Jerusalem being their capital.”

“The refusal of the Council to look favourably on the request of Palestine clearly calls into question the very principles ofjustice and humanity upon which the United Nations is founded. Such action - or inaction, if one prefers - of the Council on that critical agenda item may also be interpreted as an authorization of the odious practices of occupation and the subjugation of people. There can be no argument against the point that such conduct is counterproductive to the efforts to create stability in the occupied Palestinian territory and end the cycle of violence in Palestine. Indonesia is unceasing in its belief that a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement must be attained peacefully, based, inter alia, on relevant United Nations resolutions, the road map of the Quartet and the Arab Peace Initiative.”

“Nonetheless, wider recognition of the State of Palestine, as well as other expressions of support on the part of the international community last year are true testimony to the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people. With all of those in mind, as we enter the year 2015, I would like to reiterate Indonesia's View that it is high time for the Security Council to fulfil the demand of the Palestinian people to set a deadline for Israel to end its occupation. Indonesia deeply regrets the failure of the Security Council to adopt the draft resolution on Palestine in December. We sincerely believe that it was indeed an opportunity lost when the draft resolution, which resulted from deliberations between Palestine and other important key actors and aimed at realizing the inalienable rights of the Palestinians, failed to be adopted.”

“I wish to focus my statement on the question of Palestine and underline the importance of the debate with a view of devising a way forward after the Council failed to adopt the draft resolution on Palestine (S/2014/9l6) in its deliberations on 30 December last year (see S/PV.7354). When the General Assembly declared the year 2014 as the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, it was our fervent hope that the year would witness a substantial breakthrough in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. What we witnessed, instead, was the collapse of the peace process and the rise of an explosive situation at the expense of many civilian casualties, especially in Gaza. Sadly, we also witnessed the insufficient response of the Council.”

I would also like to thank the Assistant Secretary- General ad interim for his comprehensive briefing. Allow me also to congratulate the new non-permanent members of the Security Council: Angola, Malaysia, New Zealand, Spain and Venezuela.

“Indonesia also believes that dialogue is an effective antidote to the complex challenge of foreign terrorist fighters. As part of our preventive measures, the Government has aligned itself with religious organizations and community leaders to detect and counter appeals to become a foreign terrorist fighter. Meanwhile, as part of our law enforcement efforts, we have also increased surveillance over Indonesians who travel into conflict areas. We are also stepping up cooperation with relevant overseas authorities for early detection, should an Indonesian citizen become a foreign terrorist fighter. To conclude, Indonesia would like to highlight the fact that foreign terrorist fighters continue to take advantage of situations of conflict, instability, and political turbulence.”

“We remain convinced that the United Nations can and should play a stronger role in building States' capacities to implement the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, including through deradicalization and counter-radicalization. Along that line, allow me to highlight the cooperation between Indonesia and your country, Australia, as Co-Chairs of the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum's Detention and Reintegration Working Group. I wish to recall the message of the Working Group's inaugural meeting, held in Indonesia in August earlier this year, which underlined the importance of sharing countries' experiences, expertise and best practices in capacity- building for deradicalization, counter-radicalization and detention-management for convicted terrorists.”

“Hard- core terrorists, for example, are extremely difficult to re-educate and reintegrate. In some cases, the effort to reintegrate them carries the high risk of putting them in a position where they can attempt to spread their extreme views to other prisoners. That is one reason behind the inauguration of a deradicalization centre earlier this year in Indonesia. The centre will serve not only as a venue for the de-radicalization programme, but also for research and training in de-radicalization issues. Internationalcooperationisincreasinglyinstrumental in our fight against terrorism. In that regard, I wish to reiterate Indonesia's support for the primary role of the United Nations in orchestrating global counter- terrorism cooperation.”

“It is a nationally-integrated programme aimed at coordinating all relevant stakeholders in de-radicalization efforts, and includes not only law- enforcement agencies, but also religious authorities at the Government and community levels. Our deradicalization efforts begin in the prisons and detention centres. Through dialogue and discussion, we seek to instil the principle of moderation in the convicted terrorists. We even facilitate discussion between them and moderate clerics in order to ensure that deradicalization achieves its objectives. Our broad- range deradicalization programme also includes efforts to rehabilitate convicted terrorists and prepare them for reintegration into society. Let me make it clear that deradicalization is a complex programme with enormous challenges.”

“In the face of that menace, Indonesia reaffirms that preventive measures are among the best approaches for addressing terrorism and extremism. In that context, we have been an ardent advocate of promoting the values of tolerance and respect, as critical components of our efforts to counter the ideology of violence. And as a multicultural and multi-faith country, we have learned to believe strongly in the efficacy of dialogue. Tolerance and respect must be nurtured, as they can only be cultivated in open minds and fertilized by education and interaction. Opening the minds of convicted terrorists forms the backbone of Indonesia's deradicalization programme.”

“While I reiterate Indonesia's advocacy of a balanced implementation of the Strategy, I would like to stress that pillar I of the Plan of Action in the annex to the Strategy needs to be accorded continuing special priority. Pillar I deals with measures to address conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism. Against that backdrop, Indonesia is very much in line with the idea in the concept note for today's meeting (S/2014/787, annex), which emphasizes the importance of de-radicalization and counter-radicalization. Terrorism and other forms of extremism arise out of pure hatred and bigotry. The resulting sense of superiority over others offers terrorists and other extremists the justification to do whatever they please in order to achieve their intended goals.”

“The convening of this open debate is timely, given the steady momentum and assortment of threats posed by terrorist organizations in the past few months, particularly by the murderous group that calls itself the "Islamic State." Indeed, the rise of the so-called Islamic State, along with other forbidding developments in the realm of terrorist groups in various parts of the world, calls for more robust and integrated counter-terrorism cooperation. It is extremely critical for us to stay a long way ahead of terrorist groups. We must be able to identify new challenges and anticipate developments that might need a fresh look or approach. In 2006, we all agreed on the Global Counter- Terrorism Strategy, which remains the comprehensive strategic policy framework for counter-terrorism cooperation.”

In that regard, Indonesia commends the creation and the work of the Office of the Ombudsperson Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) and strongly suggests that a similar mechanism be applied in the other sanctions committees. In conclusion, I would once again like to commend you, Madam President, for your stewardship in our efforts to improve the working methods of the Security Council. I would like to reiterate Indonesia's commitment to supporting the Council in its work and its efforts to realize greater transparency, inclusivity, democracy, accountability and efficiency as it carries out its responsibilities.”

“Indonesia sees that as a matter of urgency in the light of the multifaceted global challenges that have surfaced in recent years and demand the immediate and equal attention of the Council. One issue that comes to mind immediately pertains to peacebuilding. As an active member of the Organizational Committee of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), Indonesia also sees the merit of enhancing the relationship between the Council and the PBC. The interactions between both bodies should remain mutually proactive at both the ambassadorial and the expert levels. Furthermore, the Council should also continue to make use of the advisory, advocacy and resource mobilization roles of the Peacebuilding Commission and hold regular informal dialogues and consultations to develop trust and confidence between the two bodies.”

“In that regard, to further enhance transparency, understanding and coordination between the Council and TCCs, Indonesia proposes that more consultations with TCCs be conducted, especially before decisions are taken with regard to the establishment, conduct, review or change of mandates and the termination of peacekeeping operations, as well as when urgent situations that may affect mission operations and the safety of personnel arise. We believe that such an improvement will help to expedite the TCC decision-making process of TCCs. Fourthly, it is incumbent upon the Council to increase and strengthen its collaboration with the various relevant United Nations bodies.”

While Indonesia welcomes the enhanced engagement between the Council and TCCs that ensued following that commendable initiative, we believe that there is still room for improvement.”

With clear and agreeable modalities, the code of conduct can help the Security Council arrive at a united voice and live up to its mandate under the Charter, particularly in situations where there are violations of international law, human rights and humanitarian laws relating to acts under the definition of war crimes, genocide, ethnic cleansing or crimes against humanity.”

Against that backdrop, and with a View to contributing to the advancement of dialogue between Council and non-Council members, Indonesia would like to share the following views. First, Indonesia reiterates the importance of the effective implementation of Articles 31 and 32 of the Charter of the United Nations, inter alia by increasing regular consultations with non-Council members, especially with States that have special interests in the matters being considered by the Council. Through those consultations, the Council should give particular attention to the ability of States to implement the Council's decisions.”

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for preparing and circulating the concept paper (S/2014/725, annex) for this meeting, which highlights some of the key topics, issues and challenges to be addressed in our debate. In undertaking the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security effectively, it is critical that the Security Council's action and decisions garner the support of the greater United Nations membership.”

It is our hope that the commission will contribute to the efforts to end Israel's culture of impunity. I will conclude by reiterating Indonesia's steadfast support for the Government and the people of Palestine in their pursuit to strengthen unity among all factions. We believe strongly that Palestinian national reconciliation is an encouraging factor in the quest for lasting peace, and not an obstructing one. In that regard, I underline Indonesia's suggestion that this courageous move of Palestine receive the sustained support of the international community, including through the recognition of the State of Palestine.”

“It is also very disturbing to see Israel's persistent policies aimed at frustrating the peace process. The blockade on Gaza remains in place, and in the West Bank the construction of illegal settlements continues. Earlier this month, the Israeli Government announced its intention to construct more than 2,600 housing units in East Jerusalem. To add to our dismay, Israel has also been continuing its practices of desecrating religious sites. Again last week, several Israeli politicians, protected by soldiers, entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque. We also take note of the recent incidents in which Israeli soldiers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque and evicted worshippers. Those deplorable developments clearly underline the proposal that Palestine be put under a United Nations protection mechanism.”
