“Finally, Indonesia pledges its commitment to continue sharing experiences and thoughts on how counter-terrorism should be effectively carried out for the sake of our future.”

“The nature of those root causes entail a need to promote dialogue, tolerance and mutual understanding, as well as to empower moderates. We would further like to reiterate that terrorism must not be associated with any religion, culture or group. No religion or religious doctrine encourages or inspires acts of terrorism. None should be portrayed as such. In that regard, the international community must work harder to reject the profiling of a particular group, religion or civilization. We must promote mutual tolerance, coexistence and respect for each other's cultures and faiths. To that end, we should all help to strengthen the practice of dialogue, consultation and cooperation.”

“It took stock of possible future activities to facilitate coordination on technical assistance programmes in Southeast Asia. In a similar vein, Indonesia calls for stronger cooperation among counter-terrorism centres, including the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre of the CTITF, the Hedayah Center, and the Jakarta Centre for Law Enforcement Cooperation (JCLEC) in Indonesia. I am delighted to inform the Council, as stated earlier by the representative of Australia, that JCLEC, which was established in 2004 through cooperation between Indonesia and Australia, has to date trained more than 10,000 law enforcement and counter-terrorism officials from 47 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Indonesia believes that, in order to prevent incitement to terrorism, it is essential that the root causes of terrorism be addressed.”

“Through the establishment of the Indonesian National Counter- Terrorism Agency in 2010, Indonesia is not only addressing the legal and technical aspects of counter- terrorism, but also engaging with the equally important social aspects. Indonesia also welcomes the third ministerial meeting of the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum (GCTF), held in Abu Dhabi last year. That meeting stressed the need to do more on institutional capacity- building and the sharing of best practices. Together with Australia, as co-chairs of the Southeast Asia Capacity-Building Working Group of the GCTF, Indonesia has convened two productive meetings of the Working Group in the past year. The most recent meeting, held in Manila, addressed the issue of youth radicalization and de-radicalization.”

“We fully support the idea that the comprehensive counter-terrorism approach should be undertaken at both the policy and the implementation levels. Furthermore, it is essential that such a comprehensive approach be without prejudice to human rights and the rule of law. At the national level, Indonesia has taken law enforcement measures and established several important legislative frameworks on counter-terrorism. Since the enactment of Law No. 15 in 2003 on countering terrorism, Indonesia has arrested and brought to justice over 600 terrorists. Of those, more than 400 have been convicted by the courts. Building on its steady progress against terrorism, Indonesia has continued to strengthen its law enforcement institutions in order to enhance their capacity to deliver timely and effective results.”

“Indonesia therefore calls for an intensified engagement of Member States in the work of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF), as decided at the third review of the Strategy. Such an approach will enable countries to better follow and assess the work of the Task Force and provide guidance on its work, including by identifying elements of the main pillars that need strengthening. The United Nations effort against terrorism has increased significantly through the involvement of various United Nations organs and their subsidiaries. With this positive trend in mind, Indonesia supports further deliberation of the idea of establishing the post of counter-terrorism coordinator to see how it fits with the need to boost synergy in the overall global counter- terrorism efforts.”

“Before I continue, allow me to associate myself with the statements of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Non-Aligned Movement, delivered by the representatives of Egypt and the Islamic Republic of Iran, respectively. Indonesia welcomes the third biennial review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which took place in June 2012. The four-pillar Strategy is a strong key for enhancing and coordinating international counter-terrorism efforts and assisting Member States in taking a similarly integrated approach. After the sixth year and third review of the Strategy, we still need to see the imperative to balance the implementation of the four pillars.”

“I thank you, Sir, for the leadership of Pakistan in convening this open debate. This meeting today, which tackles the question of a comprehensive response to terrorism, is of the utmost importance because no country can stand alone in the face of terrorist attacks. As a country that has suffered the devastating impact of terrorism, Indonesia fully recognizes the imperative need for concerted national counter-terrorism efforts to have a robust global counter-terrorism framework that is versatile and cooperative and addresses terrorism in a comprehensive manner so as to ensure that the results are sustainable. We hope that, through this initiative of Pakistan, the work of the United Nations, including through the Security Council, will lead to more effective steps in the global response to terrorism.”

“Substantive interaction with all peacekeeping stakeholders is necessary to ensure that United Nations peacekeeping missions are effectively enabled to achieve their mandates. Finally, States must explain their reasons for using the veto when they do so, and a copy of such explanations should be circulated to all Member States. The Council is entrusted on behalf ofall United Nations Members, and its actions and reasoning must be fully clear to everyone. Indonesia thanks you, Sir, for this opportunity to present its views. We will continue to support the Security Council in its efforts to tangibly improve its working methods.”

“Thirdly, Member States, in particularly those affected by sanctions, should, at their request, be given the right to participate and offer substantive inputs in the meetings of relevant sanctions committees. Fourthly, draft resolutions, presidential statements and other draft documents tabled at informal consultations of the whole of the Council should, if so authorized by draft authors, be promptly made available to non-Council members. Fifthly, the Council should hold regular, timely and meaningful consultations with troop- and police-contributing countries, host countries, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, financial contributors and other countries directly concerned by a peacekeeping operation throughout all its stages.”

“Those efforts need to be intensified. We hope that there will be comprehensive improvement in all aspects of the Council's workings. Allow me, in this regard, to put forward the following observations. First, the Council should be more accessible, transparent and efficient, particularly for non-member States. Greater transparency in the Council's workings and more meaningful interaction with the non-permanent members and non-mmbers would enrich the Council's decision-making and strengthen support for its actions. Secondly, there should be greater consultation, especially with members with a special interest in substantive matters under consideration by the Council.”

“Indeed, the Council is entrusted with the heavy responsibility of maintaining international peace and security - a responsibility that requires its constant, vigorous and even-handed oversight, as well as the full support and cooperation of all United Nations Member States. The Security Council has risen to the occasion during many challenges, and Indonesia commends its role, but there is no doubt that the Council would be able to discharge its responsibilities more effectively through modified working methods that enhance its transparency, inclusiveness, accountability and efficiency. Indonesia welcomes the Council's efforts to improve its working methods over the years, including by holding a significant number of open meetings with the countries concerned, troop and police contributors and other stakeholders.”

“I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this open debate on the important subject of the working methods of the Security Council. We also thank you for your helpful concept note (S/2012/853, annex). Indonesia associates itself with the statement made by the representative of Iran on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. At the recent debate in the General Assembly on the annual report of the Security Council (A/67/2) and Security Council reform, an overwhelmingly large number of countries once again underscored the need for a more transparent, democratic and effective Council.”

“Finally, we call on members of the international community not to relent in their support of the cause of Palestinian statehood on the basis of the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Only that outcome can be the basis of a just solution to all other aspects of the question of Palestine in accordance with international law and United Nations resolutions. To conclude, allow me to address the dire situation in Syria. In that regard, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has underlined that "the responsibility to put an end to this situation is in the hands not only of the Syrian people and Government, but also of the international community". Therefore, Indonesia sincerely hopes that the world, including the Security Council, will now be united in ending the violence in Syria.”

“Furthermore, we would like to reiterate that we remain committed to the two-State solution of Israel and a viable and independent Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side in peace and security on the basis of the principle of land for peace and a just and comprehensive regional peace consistent with the relevant Security Council resolutions, the road map of the Quartet, and the Arab Peace Initiative. The two-State solution, however, will be meaningful only if it is comprehensive and embraces other relevant political tracks, such as the Israel-Syria and Israel-Lebanon tracks. Thus, Israel must withdraw completely from the remaining occupied Lebanese land, as well as from the occupied Syrian Golan, and comply fully with resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973).”

“There is no other approach that can give the Palestinians and the international community the confidence that Israel is serious when it speaks about peace or the resolution of the conflict. It remains Indonesia's View and commitment that the conflict between Israel and Palestine must be resolved through the two-State solution, but that cannot be done if Israel sponsors a settlement menace that frustrates every effort and imperils every hope.”

“Similarly, following the Israeli military assault on Gaza a couple of years ago, Israel has maintained its blockade on the territory, making recovery almost impossible. Therefore, unless Israel resolves its settlement policy and halts the evictions of Palestinians, the demolition of their property and the expansion of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, it will be impossible to conceive of any progress towards peace negotiations. It is in consideration of this that my delegation reiterates that Israel must fully abide by the resolutions ofthe Council in respect ofsettlements. We call on Israel to dismantle the settlements it has built in violation of those resolutions, and place a complete freeze on all settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.”

“Thus, each time there seems to be a prospect for progress of any kind, a sudden twist emerges - such as settler violence and extremism; the eviction of Palestinians and the demolition of their homes; or some kind of new acceleration in settlement construction and expansion - which then beats back that effort or hope. Only two years ago, Israel's manipulation of the settlement question resulted in the collapse of the proximity talks sponsored by the United States, following its failure to extend the moratorium on settlement construction. It must also be remembered that, along with the settlement policy, Israel has also continued the illegal construction ofthe separation wall in the West Bank, in clear defiance of the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice.”

“Indeed, the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, as asserted by the Secretary-General at the Asia-Pacific Meeting in Support of Israeli-Palestinian Peace held in Bangkok recently, has been at a dangerous standstill for some time. Like many other members of the international community, my delegation is very clear on one thing - the issue of settlements is the most potent obstacle to the prospects of peace in the Middle East, with particular reference to the two-State solution. This does not mean that we do not consider the other final status issues, such as borders, security, refugees and the status of Jerusalem, to be important. Without doubt, each of these issues is significant, but the challenge of settlements has emerged as the key puzzle. Regrettably, it is also one that is now continuously manipulated by Israel.”

“I thank you, Sir, for convening this timely open debate. Before I continue, I wish to express the appreciation of my delegation to Mr. Robert Serry, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, for his briefing on this important issue. My delegation associates itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement, and with the statement to be delivered later by the representative of Kazakhstan on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The absence of progress in the peace process between Israel and Palestine has been a matter of utmost concern to my delegation. Efforts to help resume dialogue and substantive negotiations between the two parties have been made to no avail.”

“All international actors must play their role, cooperate and collaborate to generate the needed political synergy and support, which equitably mitigates conflicts and helps conflict-affected countries to take effective measures to protect civilians. Finally, I would like to stress that enabling humanitarian access in a conflict situation is critical. Parties to conflict should cooperate fully with the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies to ensure safe and unhindered access of humanitarian personnel, supplies and equipment to affected areas.”

“Undertaking continued meaningful consultation among all peacekeeping stakeholders, including troop-contributing countries, throughout various stages of a peacekeeping mission is extremely important to the effective accomplishment of the mandate. For its part, Indonesia is committed to enhancing capacities for training military, police and civilian components. The newly inaugurated Indonesia Peace and Security Centre will serve to cater to that important need. There is indeed nothing better than the prevention of a conflict. Resolution 1265 (1999) explicitly expressed, inter alia, the need to address the causes of armed conflict and to enhance the protection of civilians on a long-term basis.”

“It should be ensured that, in addition to Blue Helmets being provided with clear goals and guidelines, they should also be properly equipped and supported in performing their mission goals. We appreciate the Security Council's efforts to that end. An initiative has been undertaken to prioritize the protection of civilians in decisions concerning the use of available capacity and resources in the implementation of mission mandates. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2012/376) has also specified the challenge posed by the limited degree of cooperation from host States and their capacity to act, which affects the discharge of mandates by peacekeepers.”

“Due regard should also be taken of the special needs of women and children. Member States' role in promoting compliance and accountability, including through domestic legislation and legal means, is critical to preventing violations. In that regard, every State has the responsibility to not only undertake its requisite national steps but to support the furthering of a global culture that ascribes the highest value to the protection for civilians in armed conflicts. Thirdly, many United Nations peacekeeping missions have been entrusted with the protection of civilian mandates. As one of the leading troop-contributing countries, Indonesia has sent its troops and police to several United Nations peacekeeping operations with that mandate.”

“Regrettably, vested interests and power politics often ride roughshod over moral and legal imperatives. We do note the constructive developments in favour of strengthening compliance and ensuring accountability through building national capacities, which is an essential aspect in effectively preventing potential atrocities against civilians. It also goes without saying that all States have the responsibility to ensure that adequate measures are taken to control and eliminate non-State armed groups and those perpetuating organized crime whose threat to people is often accentuated during conflicts. Secondly, it is crucial that adequate focus be placed on developing tools and supporting and strengthening national capacities and resources, which enables effective systems for the well-being of civilians.”

“The situation is confounded by the proliferation and fragmentation of non-State armed groups. Some of those non-State actors reject the premise of civilian protection. Another key issue is the asymmetric nature of armed conflict in various regions where the principles of distinction and proportionality are being violated. Such challenges underline the need for reinvigorated commitment and determined comprehensive action in dealing with the protection of civilians in armed conflict. In that connection, the Indonesian delegation wishes to make a few observations. First, Indonesia is cognizant ofthe fact that the main failure in the protection of civilians in armed conflict stems from a lack of compliance and accountability by parties to conflict with their moral and legal obligations.”

“The Security Council has considered the issue of the protection of civilians in armed conflict for more than a decade. It is time that we reflect on the achievements and on the improvements that can bring about greater tangible results in the protection of civilians affected by armed conflict. Indeed, the international community has achieved progress in setting up a robust international normative framework, provided a wealth of experience and generated best practices on the issue. However, the reality on ground remains characterized by the concern as to whether people are being adequately safeguarded. One very difficult point in the protection of civilians is the still-vague meaning and distinction among armed groups, combatants and civilians. That lack of clarity has cost civilian lives in various conflicts by both mistake and design.”

“In the multilateral forums, Indonesia has always played an active and important role through the United Nations system and related mechanisms. Indonesia is also proud to have ratified seven international instruments related to the prevention of terrorism, as a gesture of seriousness and commitment to combating terrorism. At the regional level, we are deeply engaged in combating terrorism with other countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and ratified, among others, the ASEAN Treaty on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters in 2008, which streamlines legal cooperation on countering terrorism and its financing. In closing, I would like to reiterate that, in order to develop appropriate border security, a combination of wide range of measures is needed.”

“Indonesia is also taking measures to prevent the illicit traffic in drugs and psychotropic substances and their precursors. We established a multi-stakeholder national narcotics body in 2009 and have ratified all three anti-drug conventions under the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Terrorist movement across borders is indeed a serious matter that should be addressed. Weak State border management will be a source of exploitation by terrorist networks. Indonesia realizes that cooperation at the international level is needed if States are to overcome such exploitation. To that extent, Indonesia continues to strengthen its cooperation on countering terrorism at every level - bilateral, regional and multilateral.”

“Indonesia has adopted numerous laws and regulations to prevent and detect the movement of illicit materials and related crimes. A new law on immigration was enacted in May 2011. We expanded our border control management system and strengthened a web-based enhanced system that includes biometrics capture at 27 of our air and sea ports. We pursue the prevention of illegal cross-border movements of people and goods also through international instruments. In 2009, Indonesia ratified the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, along with its two Protocols to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, and against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air. We are also very satisfied with our cooperation with Australia through the mechanism of the Bali Process.”

“The international community, in accordance with international law, should help countries in need to strengthen their national systems, and they must undertake vigilant border management. Indonesia fully recognizes the importance of securing borders against the illegal cross-border movement of people, including terrorists and criminals; as well as goods, including small arms and light weapons, ammunition, explosives, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear material; and other illicit materials, such as drugs. In this regard, Indonesia, through a variety of measures, including surveillance, patrols, physical barriers, joint control operations, information exchange, intelligence and engagement with border communities on control and policing, is carrying out border management.”

“Transnational illicit flows of materials, goods and people are age-old phenomena, but globalization and technological improvements have enabled issues as terrorism, weapons of mass destruction and organized crime to manifest themselves as serious global challenges. Indeed, illicit flows and State legitimacy and security are closely linked. Non-State actors, such as transnational crime groups, terrorist networks and insurgents, exploit gaps in border security. They tend to thrive in conditions of conflict, poverty, and political instability, undermining the State's legitimacy and security. On the other hand, the weakening of a State's writ and its security apparatus presents opportunities to those non-State actors to enhance their nefarious activities.”

“Securing borders is the responsibility of the relevant national authorities, but this responsibility is fulfilled effectively when there are adequate capacities and necessary instruments available to Governments. It is important to also stress that the strengthening of capacities against illicit flows needs to be considered in a comprehensive manner in which there is sustained support for achieving overall political, economic and social betterment. A prospering and aware society with robust and accountable governance structures will be in a better position to implement strong controls over its territorial borders and take full responsibility for the issues concerned.”

Indonesia subscribes to the letter (S/20l2/257) submitted by the delegation of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement on today's open Security Council debate. In that context, Indonesia is of the View that close cooperation and coordination among all principal organs of the United Nations is essential to effectively addressing existing, new and emerging threats and challenges. Indonesia supports the United Nations efforts within existing mandates and together with other international stakeholders to assist countries, particularly countries that lack capacities and resources, to improve the border security in those countries upon request.”

“It is, therefore, also the responsibility of the international community to continue its efforts to create conditions conducive to the early establishment of an independent State of Palestine. Finally, with regard to the situation in Lebanon and in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, my delegation calls upon Israel to fully respect Lebanon's sovereignty and stop violating resolution 1701 (2006). We further urge Israel to immediately halt its actions aimed at altering the legal, physical and demographic status of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, and to abide by resolution 497 (1981).”

“Despite that, they have kept on moving towards achieving their dream of independent statehood. The dream of our Palestinian friends, brothers and sisters, is simply to have a State they can call their own. Unfortunately, the dream of the Palestinians and their journey to an independent State have continued to be beset by hurdles and setbacks. Israel, with infamous ingenuity, continues to combine persistent hostility towards the Palestinians with determined efforts to frustrate the peace process. Israel must recognize that we are living in an era when human rights must be respected and protected and that the will of the oppressed will prevail. No country can have a clear conscience if it resorts to brutal repression. No country can expect to wear the mantle of dignity by ignoring universal democratic values.”

“In line with that, Indonesia yet again joins the international community in declaring its untiring support for and solidarity with the Palestinians in their quest for the realization of their inalienable rights, including their right to have an independent and sovereign State. We reiterate our support for the vision of two States living side by side in peace and look forward to the eventual establishment of the State of Palestine. As we focus on that objective, the international community must move beyond rhetoric. We must contribute in real terms to supporting the Palestinian people in preparation for the day when they finally exercise their right of sovereignty. The resilience of the Palestinian people is worthy of recognition. They have endured repression and endless mayhem for decades.”

“It has been widely reported recently that Palestinian State-building efforts face an increased risk of failing. The deterioration of the progress achieved so far, coupled with the financial and political burden on the Palestinian Authority, has truly hampered and blocked any potential success. Indonesia wishes to restate its strong condemnation of all policies designed to whittle down the authority of the Palestinian Authority or frustrate the desires of Palestinians to build their capacity for eventual statehood. We have repeatedly stated our unwavering support of the efforts of Palestinians to build such State structures, and we have in fact committed ourselves to capacity-building efforts in that regard.”

“Indonesia fully concurs with that assessment, yet wishes to pose the question as to what we have done to alleviate the suffering of the people in the occupied Palestinian territories. Indonesia is deeply concerned that the international efforts to meet and advance the issue have failed so far to facilitate the resumption of direct talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis, which would shape a path to a negotiated agreement before the end of the year. It is noteworthy that the need for both sides to avoid provocations that would be detrimental to the prospects of peace has been repeatedly expressed by the majority of Member States. Despite that, not only have settlement activities not subsided, they continue before our very eyes to increase in volume and intensity.”

“In conclusion, we believe that the United Nations and the international community must continue to focus attention on the situation in Somalia. We also believe that there is a need to ensure that the solutions devised are comprehensive and driven by the work of Somali stakeholders, embedded in the process of national reconciliation. Indonesia reiterates its support for the unity, sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Somalia. We will continue to play our part in helping to achieve peace, security and prosperity for the Somali people.”

“We should also be mindful of the fact that poverty remains a very serious challenge. Efforts and support should be increased to provide the people of Somalia with sustainable livelihoods and to help them improve their conditions. Piracy needs to be considered in a comprehensive context as well, with greater focus on revitalizing local economic activity and the national economy as a whole. We note that with the increasing international efforts to combat piracy off the Somali coast, the issue of prosecuting and trying pirates is becoming more challenging. Indonesia supports strengthened international cooperation in the prosecution of piracy and armed robbery under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.”

“Indonesia is deeply concerned by the terrorism and violence in Somalia. We support the Security Council's decision to strengthen the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) in order to ensure security and stability in the region. However, the increase in AMISOM. troops needs to be supported with adequate and predictable resources. While the goal of preventing terrorism, violence and piracy is imperative, and it is rightly receiving great attention by partners from the international community, there must also be equal attention given to the need for rebuilding. The building of well-functioning and accountable State institutions and capacities in Somalia will go a long way towards creating an environment conducive to ensuring that measures against terrorism, violence and piracy produce lasting results.”

The next steps to be taken by the United Nations and the international community are extremely important, and it will be critical that Somali stakeholders are fully involved in the efforts. While we welcome political progress in the country and the upcoming completion of the transition period under Somalia's Transitional Federal Government, we also underscore the importance of establishing a future Government that is fully representative of the Somali polity. National reconciliation is crucial, and we hope there is sufficient realization of that fact in all quarters, leading to a reinvigorated and well-supported political effort towards that end.”

“At the outset, I would like to congratulate the United Kingdom on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of March and for convening this open debate on the situation in Somalia.

National authorities must be fully responsive to the needs and aspirations of Somali citizens. The regional community and the international community must do better, by further strengthening their support for Somali-identified aims and solutions.”

“Indonesia reiterates its support for the two-State solution, namely, Israel and a viable and independent Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side in peace and security on the basis of the principle of land for peace and a just and comprehensive regional peace consistent with Security Council resolutions, the road map of the Quartet and the Arab Peace Initiative. Let me also stress that a truly comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East also demands a viable resolution of the Israel-Lebanon and Israel-Syria tracks. Israel therefore has to withdraw completely from the remaining Lebanese occupied land, as well as from the occupied Syrian Golan. Finally, Indonesia wishes to reiterate its support for Palestine's application for membership in the United Nations, which was submitted on 23 September 2011.”

“We urge Israel to demonstrate good faith by not placing insurmountable obstacles, such as we now have in its settlement policy, on the path of peace. A resolution of the conflict will not be easy, and nobody should expect it to be. The core final status issues - borders, water, security, refugees, settlements and Jerusalem - pose considerable challenges, but they are not insurmountable. It remains our view that the road to peace lies in confronting the issues, not in avoiding or complicating them. To that end, true leadership and courage are required.”

“Perhaps it is not surprising, therefore, that Israel maintains the same kind of control in the Gaza Strip, where its blockade continues to hinder the movement of people and goods. The blockade is responsible not only for the terrible humanitarian situation there, but also for even deeper unemployment and a shrinking of private sector businesses, as many of them continue to shut down. Despite all of that, indeed because of it, my delegation is still hopeful about the resumption of negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians under the guidelines outlined by the Quartet in its statement of 23 September (see SG/2l78). Indonesia therefore calls upon the Quartet and the parties to ensure that everything is done to minimize every delay and eliminate every hurdle.”

“The January report of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs on the humanitarian impact of Israeli settlement policies succinctly demonstrates the grave danger that the settlement question poses, not just to the prospect of peace in the Middle East but even for progress towards the resumption of negotiations. Continuing settlement construction, expansion and encroachment on Palestinian land is an integral part of the ongoing fragmentation of the West Bank, including the isolation of East Jerusalem. As we know, Israel has also continued its illegal construction of the separation wall in the West Bank, including in and around occupied East Jerusalem, in defiance of the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice.”
