“We should, at the same time, continue to support existing United Nations organs that can play an important role in maintaining a permanent peace, in particular, the Peacebuilding Commission. To that end, I wish to assure you, Sir, of Malaysia's continued support for international efforts to achieve peace and nation rebuilding initiatives in post-conflict situations.”

“My delegation underscores the important role of the Peacebuilding Commission as an intergovernmental advisory body entrusted to coordinate and integrate approaches on post- conflict peacebuilding measures, to help countries from relapsing into conflict. As such, the principal organs of the United Nations should be enhanced and strengthened, in particular the Peacebuilding Commission's advisory role on peacebuilding matters with the Security Council. In conclusion, Malaysia reiterates its position that the silent majority should speak out so as to drown out the extreme voices ofhate, fear and ignorance. A shared historical narrative is one of several ways for moderates to overcome the control of extremists over the political discourse of a conflict.”

“As we have argued, the failure to work closely and effectively with national Governments and local stakeholders in ensuring a sustainable institutional architecture could possibly bring back instability to the country concerned. It is perhaps in that connection that the Peacebuilding Commission could play an enhanced role, inter alia, in generating a shared historical understanding between parties to the conflict. In that regard, Malaysia welcomes greater connectivity and interaction between the Peacebuilding Commission and the Security Council to enhance further work in the development of practical peacebuilding policies.”

“Within the United Nations system, that may manifest itself through challenges ranging from funding gaps to a lack of institutional support. In spite of that, it is perhaps within the United Nations system itself that the potential for permanent peace can be found and, in our view, it can be found through the work of the Peacebuilding Commission. Malaysia continues to believe that the Security Council has benefited tremendously from its increased interaction with the Peacebuilding Commission, particularly given the linkages between peacekeeping and peacebuilding. The building of State institutions during the peacekeeping period will have a significant impact on a successful transition into the peacebuilding stage.”

“Mr. President. The Institute's publication Zoom In: Palestinian Refugees of 1948, Remembrances portrays the striking differences in which Palestinian and Israeli youth views photographs from the 1948 Nakbah. The publication demonstrates the need for greater understanding and a common history of the incident, the consequences of which resound to this very day. We recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all formula to achieving permanent peace. We also observe that, at present, there may be insufficient quantitative evidence to assess the risks ofdeprioritizing the need for a reconciliatory narrative. However, there is a growing awareness that preventing a relapse into conflict is one of the more difficult aspects of addressing post- conflict situations.”
