“We could also further strengthen the role of women peacekeepers by providing targeted training and capacity-building programmes on preventing and combating the illicit trade in SALW in missions.”

“With the multitude of conflict situations, it is pivotal for the Council to identify and prioritize disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, and security sector reform. This should align with a framework of nationally driven peacebuilding and development. That will enable the host Government to increase the participation and ownership of different stakeholders in implementing policies to combat the illegal trade of SALW. Thirdly, it must mainstream the women and peace and security agenda in addressing challenges stemming from SALW in conflict areas. It is important to advocate for women’s inclusion in peace and reconstruction process. The role of women would contribute to the prevention of and relief and recovery from conflict-related sexual violence and violations of women’s rights in conflict situations.”

“Under Indonesia’s chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), we continue to collaborate through platforms such as the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime, the ASEAN Regional Forum and meetings of ASEAN police chiefs. Such collaborative efforts serve as a crucial building block towards fully implementing the Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects. Indonesia looks forward to engaging constructively during the fourth review conference, to be held in 2024. Secondly, it must advance a comprehensive approach, particularly in conflict-affected countries. The misuse of SALW poses a direct threat to our peacekeepers, among others.”

“Amid the fragile security landscape, the illicit trade in SALW remains a significant obstacle to the maintenance of peace and security. As illicit arms, ammunition and explosives continue to reach terrorists, armed groups and non-State actors, peacekeeping is becoming more dangerous, while peacebuilding becomes more elusive. In that context, the Security Council must focus on three key points. First, the Council must promote synergy between regional and multilateral initiatives. The New Agenda for Peace has highlighted the importance of developing and strengthening regional and subregional instruments to address challenges related to diversion, proliferation and misuse. That is exactly our approach.”

“I thank Ecuador for hosting this important meeting and the briefers for their invaluable insights. Indonesia welcomes the Secretary-General’s biennial report (S/2023/823), which emphasized our concern about the deteriorating global security environment and increased military spending. Escalating militarization and the surge in weapons transfers pose greater challenges to countering illicit trafficking of small arms and light weapons (SALW), including in peacekeeping operations. The Secretary- General’s report also notably highlighted the Political Declaration on Strengthening the Protection of Civilians from the Humanitarian Consequences Arising from the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas, which Indonesia is proud to support.”

“We advocate robust international cooperation, an enhanced legal framework and comprehensive strategies that address both the immediate effects and the underlying causes of those crimes. Through our collective efforts, we aspire to create a safer and more secure world for future generations.”

“Empowering the relevant United Nations bodies and agencies to fulfil their mandates can significantly enhance the efficacy of our joint efforts against transnational organized crime, thereby reinforcing our comprehensive strategy for global peace and security. One way to do so is through sanctioning early-warning mechanisms that monitor trends of transnational organized crime. Such mechanisms can provide valuable insights for pre-emptive action and policy formulation at the international level. They can also support the Council initiative on peace and security by pinpointing potential hotspots where transnational organized crime could undermine stability or escalate conflicts. In conclusion, Indonesia reaffirms its commitment to a collaborative effort in combating transnational organized crime.”

“During Indonesia tenure as Chair, ASEAN made significant strides by adopting the Leaders’ Declaration on Combating Trafficking in Persons Caused by the Abuse of Technology, specifically addressing the exploitation of technology, which sets a strong example and substantial advancement in combating that issue. On another front, the Bali Process, with its 2023 Adelaide Strategy for Cooperation, emphasizes a proactive approach to tackling the changing patterns of smuggling, trafficking and related crimes across regions. Thirdly, we must further bolster the effective fulfilment of the mandates of relevant United Nations bodies and agencies in tackling transnational organized crime.”

“It focuses on protecting vulnerable groups and building a resilient foundation for long- term protection and enforcement in countering human trafficking crimes. Secondly, we must strengthen regional cooperation. The fight against transnational organized crime cannot be won in isolation. Regional and cross-regional collaboration are key. Initiatives such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) focus on specific regional challenges and solutions, while frameworks like the Bali Process on People Smuggling, Trafficking in Persons and Related Transnational Crime tackle problems from a cross-regional point of view.”
2023-12-07 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9497Resumption1 (2023) · source
“Against that backdrop, I propose three strategic points of action. First, we must enhance country capacities. It is essential to bolster national abilities to counter the threat of transnational organized crime through capacity- building and technological cooperation. As highlighted in the Secretary-General’s report on improving the coordination of efforts against trafficking in persons (A/78/119), synergy between enhanced national capacities and robust legal frameworks are vital to effectively address transnational organized crime. On our part, we approach synergy through such initiatives as the national action plan for the prevention and handling of human trafficking crimes 2020- 2024, which exemplifies Indonesia’s dedication to fortifying legal frameworks in tandem with building national capacity.”

“We thank Ecuador for its leadership in initiating this important discussion on transnational organized crime. My delegation also thanks the Secretary-General for his remarks and his emphasis on transnational organized crime’s multifaceted impact on global peace and security. Indeed, not only does transnational organized crime threaten international stability, it also significantly undermines the capacity of countries to respond effectively to global security challenges. It sow seeds of distrust among nations, weakens economies and can even fuel armed conflict. In the global era, not only has advanced digital technology used by criminal networks for trafficking and other illicit activities erased traditional boundaries, but it also presents a constantly evolving critical threat that demands international cooperation.”

“Indonesia hopes to see the initiatives resumed and emphasizes that they should be implemented in their entirety and aimed at reaching those who need them the most — developing countries and the poor. In conclusion, let me reaffirm Indonesia’s commitment to contributing to and being part of the solution in addressing global food insecurity.”

“We primarily support the international efforts to keep food supply chains functioning under challenging circumstances. In our region the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, together with its dialogue partners, has also developed cooperation on food security and nutrition, including in times of crisis. We must continue to ensure the accessibility, affordability and sustainability of food and food products for those in need, particularly the vulnerable communities in developing and least- developed countries. In view of the recent global dynamics, we regret that the Black Sea Grain Initiative and related measures are in limbo, interfering with the much-needed global supply of grain and fertilizers.”

“The international community must increase its support to humanitarian agencies to provide much-needed aid. Technical and financial assistance, as well as capacity- building, are also vital to achieving food security. In the medium and long term, greater investments, particularly for smallholder farmers, are required for more innovative, sustainable and resilient agriculture and food systems. In relation to the worsening impacts of climate change on food security, climate adaptation strategies also need to be taken into account. Thirdly, we must strengthen international cooperation and multi-stakeholder collaboration. International efforts and coordinated actions among Governments, international organizations, the private sector and all relevant stakeholders must be synergized and avoid duplication.”

“The Security Council should work in synergy with other United Nations entities to address the root causes of conflict in order to sustain peace and achieve sustainable development. Indonesia urges all parties to conflicts to comply with international humanitarian law and refrain from using famine as a weapon of war. Humanitarian workers, medical facilities and critical infrastructures, particularly those related to water, food and energy, must also be protected. Secondly, we must enhance capacities and bolster resilience. Many countries are prone to global shocks such as rising food commodity prices, which have a greater impact in conflict areas. In the short term, people in those situations urgently need immediate assistance to survive, especially women and children.”

“I thank the United States for convening this meeting and all the briefers for their presentations. It is truly concerning that armed conflict remains one of the most significant drivers of food insecurity, while the number of people affected continues to increase. The way in which conflict in one part of the world has affected millions of vulnerable people on the other side of the globe is equally concerning. Decisive and coordinated global actions need to be taken to ensure that food, a basic human right, is accessible and available to all. On that note, I would like to emphasize three points. First, we must take concrete measures to break the vicious cycle between armed conflict, violence and food insecurity.”

“We remain hopeful that the continued intra-Palestinian reconciliation will create a inclusive environment conducive to the peace process. Indonesia stands ready to lend assistance to the Palestinians in achieving their aspirations for effective governance and full independence. In conclusion, let me to reaffirm Indonesia’s unequivocal support for and solidarity with the Palestinian people. We will remain steadfast until they are no longer denied their legal and inalienable right to attain independence. Furthermore, we will support Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations to pave the way for Palestinians’ manifestation of their independence and contribution to the peace process.”

“Therefore, Indonesia is of the view that UNRWA should be granted greater sustainable funding from the United Nations regular budget to ensure the reliable delivery of its mandate, which we — the Member States — have entrusted to it. Thirdly, collective efforts to forge a path for the peace process are needed. Indonesia appreciates each “delicate diplomacy” approach currently in place to broaden the political horizon. Nevertheless, all those efforts and initiatives should be directed towards ensuring the implementation of the two-State solution. There is no plan B for a two-State solution. It is the only way to bring sustainable peace to the region. It is important to ensure that the international community remains committed not only to a credible multilateral process but also to protecting the internationally agreed parameters.”

“The recent escalation of aggression by the occupying Power, including on Gaza and the refugee camps, has caused widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure, worsening the living conditions of the Palestinian people and refugees, particularly women and children. The international community should extend the much- needed assistance and protection, especially when the occupying Power deliberately chooses not to fulfil its legal obligations. On the other hand, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) continues to work on the front lines of the crisis, providing education, health and social services. However, the Agency continues to face a dire financial crisis, and relying on donor and voluntary contributions does not suffice.”

“The principles of international law and international humanitarian law must be upheld to prevent further security deterioration and escalation of violence. In that spirit, Indonesia has submitted its written submission to the International Court of Justice, with regard to its advisory opinion on the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of Palestine. Moreover, we also call for the establishment of an international presence in Al-Quds to monitor and ensure the safety of the Palestinian people in the occupied territories, as well as to protect the status of the Haram Al-Sharif compound, the holy place for three religions. Secondly, we must work hand in hand to ease the humanitarian situation. It has been 75 years since the Nakba, yet the catastrophe is still ongoing.”
2023-07-27 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9387Resumption1 (2023) · source
“Against that backdrop, allow me to underline three points. First, violations by the occupying Power must stop. Despite clear international law and United Nations resolutions, the encroachment of annexation towards the occupied Palestinian territory, apartheid policies and disproportionate use of force have regretfully become normalcy. On top of that, continuing provocation towards the holy sites contributes further to the escalation of conflict. That is unacceptable. We cannot allow the unceasing culture of impunity to prevail, as each flagrant violation by the occupying Power will only drive us further away from a just and lasting peace. We call upon the international community to demand accountability and reiterate our call on the Council to ensure implementation of its own resolutions.”

“Indonesia appreciates the United Kingdom for holding this open debate. We also thank the Assistant Secretary-General for his insight. Unfortunately, for the Palestinian people, the story of sorrow and injustice remains. Illegal settlement expansions, worsening settler violence, demolitions, confiscations and the deteriorating humanitarian situation are endured on a daily basis. We have been warned that 2023 could be bloodier. Yet even with the numerous diplomatic tools available, we have failed to heed the call thus far. Halfway through the year, we are witnessing continued civilian casualties, including children. Do we really want to wait until another record is broken? The Security Council should not consider it business as usual. Instead, meaningful attention and immediate action should be given.”

“In 2019, Indonesia initiated the first Regional Conference on Humanitarian Assistance. In 2021, the Conference expanded to involve more than 100 humanitarian actors from 21 countries and was successful in building a network of humanitarian actors and initiatives across the region. Through the network, humanitarian actors from countries in the region are able strengthen their capacities in helping to guarantee children’s access to humanitarian assistance. To conclude, let me reassure the Council of Indonesia’s commitment to contributing to international efforts to ensure the protection of children in armed conflict. Children are not soldiers, and they should not become victims. They are our future.”

“Community engagement plays a significant role in creating an enabling environment. Beyond engagement, we must also work to empower communities to lead in child protection efforts. In that regard, United Nations missions hold a unique and important role. Indonesia calls for a stronger capacity of United Nations missions in relation to community engagement and empowerment to better protect children in armed conflict. Thirdly, regional cooperation and networks must be advanced. In the collective work of protecting children in armed conflict, regional cooperation and networks can appropriately and effectively support national and local actions to protect children in armed conflict. That comes from the closeness of regional initiatives with the specific context and situation faced by each country.”

“As one of the most fundamental principles enshrined in the most widely and rapidly ratified human rights treaty, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the protection of children must always be upheld as a priority, including in conflict situations. We call on all parties to a conflict situation to uphold and implement the universal principle of the protection of children. In the same vein, national Governments continue to hold the primary responsibility to protect all children. We call on more robust international cooperation to support national capacities on child protection in armed conflict. Secondly, community engagement and empowerment are key. The protection of children in armed conflict requires the commitment and collaboration of all parties, built upon trust and confidence.”

“I thank the United Kingdom presidency for bringing the Security Council’s attention to this very important agenda. I also thank Special Representative Virginia Gamba de Potgieter, Deputy Executive Director Omar Abdi and Ms. Violeta for their updates on the issue. Despite numerous and countless endeavours, every year the Security Council is confronted by continued grave violence against children in armed conflict. As pointed out in the annual report (S/2023/363), almost 24,000 children have been denied a safe childhood. Every three out of 10 children in an armed conflict situation have either lost their lives or been maimed. That is a serious warning for us to work beyond “business as usual”. Allow me to highlight three pertinent points. First, the universal principle of child protection should never be compromised.”
2023-07-05 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9366 (2023) · source
“That should be done through its active engagement with all relevant United Nations entities and implementing actors on the ground, in particular to support institution-building and reconstruction in affected areas, as well as to support transparency in order to prevent the relapse of conflicts. The effective accomplishment of that task will depend on accountable, sustainable and predictable resources. Indonesia believes that broadening the sources of funding, such as by fostering partnerships with international financial institutions and the private sector, will be key. In conclusion, I want to emphasize our view that without peace there can be no development, and without development there can be no peace. Indonesia reiterates its steadfast support to Africa’s efforts in advancing a stable and prosperous region.”

“Enhanced partnership between the United Nations and the relevant regional entities in Africa is imperative to build strategic dialogue and create platforms to enable collaboration. Moreover, international partnerships in supporting capacity- building and the sharing of best practices to maintain good governance should also be bolstered, including through South-South and triangular cooperation. Thirdly, we need to strengthen the integrated strategy of peacebuilding efforts. The Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) should strengthen its role in bridging security and development contexts in post- conflict settings. Furthermore, the PBC should make the most of its convening role in order to facilitate synergy and coherence in peacebuilding.”

“People’s ownership at the grass- roots level and the national ownership of the process must both be nurtured. The United Nations, through its organs, including the Security Council, could widen its support to a people-centred mechanism, for instance, through peacekeeping efforts in numerous missions aimed at promoting positive community engagement programmes. Secondly, at the regional level we need to enhance partnerships. Indonesia believes that the region knows best about prevention, responding to security challenges and making efforts to sustain peace. In that regard, the African Union and other subregional organizations in Africa should play a prominent role in synergizing security initiatives, such as the Silencing the Guns initiative, through development projects that involve numerous actors.”

“First of all, allow me to extend my delegation’s appreciation to you, Mr. President, for convening today’s open debate, and to all the briefers for their updates. Indonesia applauds Africa’s continued commitment to silencing the guns despite the ever-growing challenges. In the light of our aspirations for a New Agenda for Peace, business as usual is not an option. We need a comprehensive and inclusive approach to realizing peace and stability in Africa. On that note, my delegation would like to underline three points. First, at the national level we need to ensure that local communities, including women and young people, are empowered in the areas of peace and development. That constitutes a bottom-up approach throughout the peace continuum.”
2023-03-30 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9299Resumption1 (2023) · source
“In that context, women’s voices must be heard in setting the course of the New Agenda for Peace. Ensuring a greater role and voice for women in areas such as peacekeeping, mediation and peacebuilding, as well as in preventing and countering terrorism and violent extremism, is important. Thirdly and finally, let me reaffirm Indonesia’s commitment to supporting the full, effective and meaningful participation of women in the peace and security agenda. Indonesia believes that the role of women in peace processes is not merely a form of embracing gender equality — it is a transformative force for more robust efforts to achieve sustainable peace.”
2023-03-07 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9276Resumption1 (2023) · source
“The number of women mediators and negotiators is negligible. The number of women in peacekeeping is equally uninspiring. We are still far from the target set by the Secretary-General in his Uniformed Gender Parity Strategy to be achieved by 2028. Indonesia believes that two important approaches are needed. First, we need to intensify capacity-building across the entire women and peace and security spectrum. Greater efforts must be taken by all to ensure that women have access to capacity-building programmes throughout the peace and security continuum. Having a greater pool of women with high capacity will create more opportunities for their involvement in peace and security processes. Secondly, we must use the New Agenda for Peace process as an opportunity to also contribute to the women and peace and security agenda.”

“In order to overcome that, we launched an ASEAN women and peace and security website in 2022, as a hub of knowledge for the women and peace and security agenda. Through the website, we aim to amplify good and encouraging practices on women and peace and security for women in the ASEAN region and beyond. Regional platforms and mechanisms play a significant role in pushing the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda. ASEAN stands ready to work together with the United Nations and other regional organizations to advance it through lessons learned and the sharing of best practices. Together, we can do more. Allow me to add some points in my national capacity. After almost 25 years, various goals that we set ourselves in the women and peace and security agenda are still distant targets.”

“The action plan is also mindful of future challenges, such as climate change, natural disasters and public health emergencies. It will also be continuously monitored and evaluated to ensure it remains relevant and forward-looking. Such an action plan requires continued support for its implementation, including the political support of the Council. Thirdly, we must capitalize on technology to create a multiplier effect in terms of women’s participation in the women and peace and security agenda. For a region with more than 340 million women and girls spread across the 10 ASEAN countries, the dissemination of good stories that will encourage women’s participation in the women and peace and security agenda is a challenge.”
2023-03-07 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9276Resumption1 (2023) · source
“In that context, allow me to highlight three points. First, strengthening women’s leadership and their transformative role is key. Supporting initiatives led by women and for women is important in that regard. Under the umbrella of the ASEAN Institute for Peace and Reconciliation, we established the ASEAN Women for Peace Registry, which allows ASEAN countries to pool their expertise and better integrate a gender perspective into conflict-prevention initiatives. Secondly, we need to enhance efforts to mainstream the women and peace and security agenda in peace and security decision-making processes. In December, ASEAN established the ASEAN Regional Plan of Action on Women, Peace and Security, which provides a framework for the role of women in realizing inclusive and sustainable peace in the region.”

“Speaking on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), I congratulate Mozambique on convening today’s open debate and thank the briefers for their presentations. As we approach the twenty-fifth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), the report of the Secretary-General on women and peace and security (S/2022/740) clearly highlights that much work still needs to be done. It is important for us to leave behind business as usual in order to enable us to make meaningful progress. It is also important to enhance cooperation with regional organizations on the women and peace and security agenda, which has long been a priority for ASEAN, given its full commitment to ensuring the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and related resolutions on women and peace and security.”
