1. “The Office of the Prosecutor continues to address cases of arbitrary detention, torture, the cruel treatment of detainees, the forced displacement of approximately 30,000 Tawergha civilians, assassinations in the context of the conflict, threats against journalists and human rights defenders, in particular against women human rights defenders, and against prosecutors, judges and lawyers. Some of those cases were reported on by the Ministry of Justice, with the assistance of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya. However, the Court was unable to investigate those allegations of crimes under the Rome Statute owing to a lack of access for security reasons. We believe that the Libyan authorities should ensure that they are investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice.”

2. “The second issue concerns the allegations of crimes committed in Libya since 2011 and more recently, particularly since May 2014, when two major armed coalitions emerged there - the forces of Operation Dignity and of Operation Libyan Dawn - leading to the establishment of two parliaments and Governments, one in Tripoli and one in Tobruk, with the house of representatives of the latter being the legitimate Libyan authority as recognized by the United Nations.”

3. “While Libya had challenged the admissibility of the case against Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi before the Court, the decision of Pre-Trial Chamber I handed down on 31 May 2013 and upheld by the Appeals Chamber on 21 May 2014 makes it clear that Libya should hand over the accused. We are aware that there is a trial in Libya against Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi; however, Libya should ensure that that trial does not undermine its responsibility and obligation to cooperate with the ICC.”

4. “For my country, truth, remembrance, justice and reparations are the right not only of the victims, but also of society as a whole and the international community, so as not to compromise on the issue of impunity. Libya is facing numerous challenges in the area of strengthening rule-of-law institutions; however, a constructive dialogue among the Libyan authorities and the Office of the Prosecutor continues to unfold. Since 2013 that dialogue has been more fluid, in particular regarding the implementation of the memorandum of understanding on the distribution of the workload in future investigations and trials signed by the Attorney General of Libya and the Prosecutor. I should like to focus on three key issues relating to the situation in Libya. The first is the obligation of Libya to cooperate with the Court.”

5. “Mrs. Perceval (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): Argentina wishes once again to thank the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Ms. Fatou Bensouda, for her briefing on her eighth report pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011). Argentina wishes to recall that the referral of cases to the ICC reflects the explicit recognition by the Council of the role of justice and the fight against impunity for crimes of international concern, and the contribution of the Rome Statute and the ICC to that goal. I wish to reiterate that for my country, Argentina, it is unacceptable that the culture of memory be transformed into a history of oblivion.”

6. “The Council's work is not the work of a single person, or of five, six or seven. It is the work of all, hard work and an immense responsibility. We value the support and positive contributions, as well as the constructive criticism, of every one of the delegations and the representatives of the Secretariat, as well as all of the relevant conference service officers. As we end our presidency, I am sure that the members of the Security Council will speak in a single voice in wishing the delegation of Australia very good luck for the month of November. The meeting rose at 4.50 pm.”

7. “The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. As this is the last scheduled meeting of the Council for the month of October, I should like to express the sincere appreciation of the Argentine delegation to the members of the Council; to all of my colleagues, in particular the "W-6" - the six women Ambassadors to the Council; to the Permanent Representatives and their respective staffs; and to the secretariat ofthe Council for the warm support it has given us with professionalism and a great deal of patience. It has been a very busy month. We have reached consensus on important matters, while other issues are still pending. The text prepared by the secretariat says that we could not have done it alone, and that is true.”

13. “It does not mean that the Council should relinquish its own responsibilities regarding the potential impact that this tragic epidemic could have on security conditions in the affected region. We know that innovation is not always an advantage. However, we believe we missed a valuable opportunity when we were unable to organize a joint meeting between the General Assembly and the Security Council on the issue. Since this is the last meeting for the Argentinian presidency of the Council, I would like to heartily thank all my colleagues for their guidance and support, without which the work of the presidency would not have been possible. I would also like to wish Australia every success in its leadership, for which it can count on Argentina's full support. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.”

14. “Finally, concerning the situation created by the recent outbreak of Ebola - which if left unchecked could jeopardize the hard-won progress that has been made in building peace in West Africa - I think it is important that all of us, especially the members of the Council, learn to work collaboratively to find a comprehensive solution to the problem in coordination with the other bodies of the United Nations. That also means that the Council should not infringe on the purviews of other entities in the system that have the primary responsibility, and also possess the right tools, for dealing effectively with a crisis that is essentially a health and social issue.”

15. “During October, the Council adopted resolution 2180 (2014), on Haiti, with four explanations of vote, and another, resolution 2182 (2014), on Somalia, with two abstentions and six explanations of vote, and on both occasions it failed to take the views and concerns of the countries of the respective regions into account. I believe that those are not good precedents, and that they certainly do not reflect the Council's commitment to respecting regional leadership, as expressed in numerous resolutions and presidential statements on cooperation with regional and subregional organizations.”

16. “The Council also renewed the mandates of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei, the African Union Mission in Somalia - which included the renewal of the Monitoring Group's mandate and the partial lifting of the arms embargo - and of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, the only United Nations peacekeeping operation in Latin America and the Caribbean, in a country whose stabilization is a top priority for Argentina. Given the impossibility of discussing all of those issues, I would like to say something about the Security Council's working methods.”

17. “Many other situations occupied our attention during October: Syria in its three aspects - chemical weapons, the humanitarian situation and the political process, Mali, Somalia, Yemen, Lebanon, the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, South Sudan, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Western Sahara and, once again, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We received two reports on sanctions concerning Somalia and Eritrea, and C6te d'Ivoire. We also held meetings with Force Commanders of the Organization's peacekeeping operations, on Ebola and with the President of the International Court of Justice.”

18. “And the fifth is that it is important to pay attention to the specific and multidimensional needs and abilities of women and girls who are refugees or internally displaced, by strengthening the gender perspective and focusing on women's human rights when designing, implementing and monitoring policies for refugee and displaced women and girls, and implementing and translating the commitments made in resolution 1325 (2000) and subsequent resolutions into concrete results. This should also include integrating gender into the post-2015 development goals and the reviews of the sanctions system, our peacekeeping operations and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, to be held next year.”

19. “The fourth is that, while improving the Council's transparency and capacity for dialogue, and ensuring that it operates more efficiently, are important, it is vital that we acknowledge the international community's expectations that we will continue to work for more democratized decision-making processes and more substantive and transparent interaction with the membership as a whole.”

20. “The second is that the International Criminal Court makes a positive contribution to achieving our common goal of ending impunity for serious crimes under international law, and that the Security Council should be responsible for following up referrals made to the Court. The third is that the guarantees of due process are not only a human right of the individuals targeted by Security Council sanctions lists; they also contribute to the effectiveness of sanctions regimes, making them less vulnerable to challenges by domestic or international courts.”

21. “The first is the large number of non-members of the Council that participated in each of the three debates and the high level of interest that was generated, which demonstrates how important the international community considers those issues to be. The second is the consensus that emerged - among the members of the international community, if not necessarily among the members of the Council - with regard to five matters. The first is that the Security Council should play an active and positive role in resolving the Palestinian question by supporting concrete initiatives aimed at making a two-State solution a reality, since that solution is the only one with the potential to put a definitive end to a conflict that has lasted too long and cost too many lives.”

22. “Despite our self-restraint, we have had a very busy month, with 3 open debates, 12 public briefings, 1 private meeting and 15 informal consultations, as well as the adoption of 3 resolutions, the annual report of the Security Council to the General Assembly, 1 presidential statement and 14 press statements, 5 of which were issued in a single day. The three open debates - on 21 October on the Middle East, including the Palestinian question (see S/PV.7281), on 23 October on the working methods of the Security Council (see S/PV.7285), and on 28 October on women and peace and security (see S/PV.7289) - although diverse, had at least two things in common.”

23. “The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Argentina. I would like to begin by thanking all the Council members for supporting the initiative of the presidency to convene a wrap-up session. It is true that we hope to have wider participation by the membership, as my dear friend the Ambassador of the Russian Federation has said. However, it is also true that the Council, through its working methods, must provide for and generate greater interest, credibility and desire on the part of the broader membership to participate. When we were preparing to assume the presidency of the Council for the month of October, we decided not to overload the programme with activities beyond those provided by previous Council decisions or practice.”

I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2014/756, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of Security Council resolutions 2139 (2014) and 2165 (2014).

29. “The Council can conduct a long-postponed visit to the region. And it should take up - in a high-minded, serious fashion and with a spirit of commitment - the Arab draft resolution, which would put an end to the occupation within a specific time frame, as part of the Council's efforts to achieve the full independence of the Palestinian people and guarantee the right of the State of Israel to live in peace with its neighbours within secure and internationally recognized borders. To that end, Argentina continues to be ready to work on the draft resolution. We are convinced that, with the necessary political will and political ethics, the Security Council will be able to help create conditions that will lead, once and for all, to a peaceful, fair, tolerant and lasting coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.”

30. “Things are that way because we are losing sight of the fact that Jerusalem is just one facet of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that the acts that have brought us together today are expressions of a broader reality, of an illegal occupation that has lasted for almost half a century. Argentina believes that the Security Council must stop condoning, through its inaction, acts of provocation and actions that are incompatible with peace. We believe that we should do our utmost to salvage the two-State solution while it is still possible to do so. If we drop our masks and double standards, there are things that the Council can and must do to meet that objective, thereby fully living up to its responsibilities. The Council can accept Palestine as a State Member of the United Nations.”

31. “The Security Council, joining the majority position of the international community, has on many occasions said that all legislative and administrative measures taken by Israel and the actions taken that tend to change the legal status of Jerusalem are null and void, cannot in fact change that status and constitute a serious obstacle to peace. The Council has also deplored Israel's persistent attempts to change the physical nature, demographic composition, institutional structure and very status of the Holy City of Jerusalem. But it is clear that simple words of condemnation are not enough and that the history between the Security Council and Jerusalem is a series of unobserved resolutions.”

32. “Moreover, settlement expansion coincides with a series of violent events, access restrictions, acts of incitement and attempts to alter the status quo of the holy places in Jerusalem - for men and women of faith and for men and women of goodwill. In the current climate of frustration and a stagnation in the dialogue, we are dealing with irresponsible actions with potential destabilizing effects for the engire region. We know that all these practices as a whole violate international law, are contrary to peace, continue to change the situation on the ground and jeopardize the viability of the two-State solution. How can we tolerate practices that cannot be tolerated? Why not require once again that they be reversed immediately? Why not warn that they could lead to a new tragic escalation of violence?”

33. “How unfortunate that, while we are still in the midst of discussions about yet another reconstruction of Gaza, we again face an urgent need to draw attention to actions that take place in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Particularly worthy of our resolute condemnation are the announcements that Israel plans to move forward with the construction of more settlement units in East Jerusalem, including in Ramat Shlomo and Har Homa. Unfortunately, those announcements are neither surprising nor isolated events. Most lamentable of all is the fact that they do not surprise us because they are part of the continuing campaign of settlement in East Jerusalem, accompanied by seizures, attacks against civilians, demolitions and the forced displacement of Palestinian residents.”

34. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Argentina. I thank Mr. Feltman for his briefing, and I reiterate my gratitude to the representatives of Israel and Palestine for their statements. Jerusalem is of enormous importance for Christians, Muslims and Jews. I do not think I err in saying that Jerusalem has genuine meaning for all men and women of good faith. It is thus that the emergency holding of this meeting of the Security Council is amply justified, at a time when tensions in Jerusalem - which, again, is of great importance for everyone alike -are escalating in a dangerous and destabilizing manner, with violence having already cost civilian lives.”

We cannot allow ourselves to be witnesses to further setbacks. Those of us with the greatest influence should contribute the most to constructive diplomacy.

We deplore the reports of killings, kidnappings, abductions, torture, abuse and other serious violations of human rights, which are very worrying, but in the face of the evidence of such violations of human rights, we need truth, objective information, a speedy, reliable investigation and justice. With regard to the humanitarian situation, we would like to highlight the assistance being provided by the International Committee of the Red Cross and Medecins sans frontieres. The international community should continue to support those efforts, and the parties should ensure that there is access for humanitarian aid.”

However, we recognize that the fragility of the ceasefire is a true concern. After the recent meeting in Milan between the Presidents of Ukraine and Russia, we call for continued discussions in order to find a way out of the conflict and for all parties to implement the measures agreed upon in the protocol. We are naturally deeply perturbed by the reports of the use of cluster bombs in densely populated areas.”

We reiterate that the only possible solution is through dialogue and negotiation, with due respect for Ukraine's management of its domestic affairs. Today, once again, Argentina calls for an end to confrontation and all forms of interference in internal affairs, which fall exclusively within the domestic jurisdiction of States, whether such interference is military, political, economic or rhetorical in nature.”

Argentina expresses its concern about the continued deterioration of the security, human rights and humanitarian situation in Ukraine, especially in eastern Ukraine. We are also troubled by the effects of the resurgence of violence on the civilian population, which j eopardizes the efforts made to reach a diplomatic and political solution to the situation.

We believe that, in the normal way of things, it should be superseded by some other kind of cooperation with Somalia that would allow the latter to respond appropriately to a situation that belongs essentially within a State's own sphere of action. Finally, the authorization is framed within the powers of the Security Council, but it is also unavoidably framed within the international law in force.

In that regard, it must be underlined that, as clearly stated in the text of the resolution, the authorization given is limited to this situation. It does not extend to any other situation. It must not affect the rights and obligations or responsibilities of States in accordance with international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, with respect to any other situation, and it does not constitute a basis for customary international law.”

50. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity as representative of Argentina. Argentina supported the adoption of resolution 2182 (2014) because it endorses the need to renew the mandate of the African Union Mission in Somalia and to reaffirm the arms embargo as well as the total ban on the export and import of Somali charcoal. The resolution contains an authorization to conduct inspections in the territorial sea of Somalia and on the high seas, with the aim of ensuring compliance with the arms embargo and with the total ban on the export and import of Somali charcoal.
