  1. “We hope that today's discussion will help us to move constructively forward, through dialogue, confidence-building measures and the equal distribution of resources. Those have been presented in profoundly reflective treatises and manifestos on war and peace, including our own initiatives.”

  2. “We should also work towards the establishment of a zone free of nuclear weapons and other types of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. In conclusion, we would also like to refer to the first presidential statement of the year, adopted in January, which, during its presidency, Kazakhstan introduced on preventive diplomacy and sustaining peace. The Council, within its mandate to maintain international peace and security, accordingly noted "the importance of continuing to strive towards sustainable peace and achieving a world free of Violent conflicts by the United Nations Centenary" (S/PRST/2018/1, p. I). It is therefore good that we now have a targeted time frame since the goal is a dream with a deadline.”

  3. “Refugees from the Middle East and North Africa have changed the political, demographic and security landscape of Europe, thereby demanding a new global compact on migration. Eighth, effective strategies to prevent and address conflicts and related scourges involving terrorism require, besides political intervention, the three-fold strategy that Kazakhstan has proposed. That comprises strengthening the security-development nexus, as well as deploying a revamped regional and innovative whole-of-system approach with the United Nations delivering as one. We also believe that the international community needs to coalesce in prioritizing further measures to eliminate international terrorism to ensure a safer world. Governments must act under international law and manage shared challenges and opportunities along the way.”

  4. “At the same time, it is critical in global relations that civilians be protected from all categories of perpetrators - as in the case of the use of chemical weapons in Syria - who must be thoroughly investigated and dealt with based on objective facts and evidence under international law. As host countries, Governments must also ensure the security ofUnited Nations personnel and peacekeepers. Seventh, due to the vacuum of functioning State institutions, terrorist groups have found a strong foothold in unstable areas, which has resulted in the massive exodus of refugees from numerous countries. The burden is borne by hosting countries like Jordan and Lebanon that require international support.”

  5. “We need to safeguard the credibility ofthe Council as an apex body of the United Nations. Investigations into all violations must be thorough, objective and impartial so that the international community can fairly identify their perpetrators in full compliance with international law. Sixth, Kazakhstan believes that unilateral steps, especially the use of force, should not be taken for whatever reason by any country or group of countries without the approval of the Council. In addition, the principles of territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty should always be observed under the Charter of the United Nations.”

  6. “We also need to review the Council's sanctions regimes and halt unilateral sanctions and embargoes that hurt innocent civilians. Fourth, conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa region are like a vortex drawing in neighbouring countries and even other Powers, thereby resulting in proxy wars in an attempt to change the balance of power. A united Security Council is all the more important to withstand those undesirable trends. Fifth, now is the time for the entire United Nations system and Council members, including its five permanent members, in the first instance, and 10 elected members, in partnership with other international and regional stakeholders, to find middle ground in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the investigation into the use of chemical weapons, among others.”

  7. “There has to be full engagement of the United Nations, the good offices of the Secretary-General and his Envoys and Special Representatives, as well as upholding Council resolutions cooperatively. A united Security Council is important for sending strong messages to warring parties, so as, inter alia, to stop the rhetoric and inflammatory language, as well as the use of force by all sides, and to uphold human rights. Third, it is critical to reach agreement among warring parties, while honouring ceasefires and allowing unhindered humanitarian access by land, air and sea to those most in need. Those who perpetrate horrific brutalities, such as using hospitals and schools for purposes of war or sexual violence as a weapon of war, should be brought tojustice.”

  8. “My delegation therefore presents the following observations for consideration, while bearing in mind the questions raised in the concept note (S/2018/524, annex). First, in order to counter the causes of recurring and potential new conflicts, a thorough and comprehensive plan of action needs to be implemented by Governments, the United Nations and international organizations in strict adherence with international conventions and the new reforms of the Secretary-General. Second, the political deterioration of State authority that is being usurped by non-State actors and armed groups calls for further action. Therefore, peacekeeping operations must be accompanied by preventive diplomacy, mediation and sustainable peace. The political and diplomatic settlement of conflicts should prevail over the use of force.”

  9. “President wrote in his Manifesto: The World. The 21st Century: "We should also have learnt from past wars and conflicts that it is impossible to ensure our own security by undermining the security of others. That is why a global coalition of States for peace, stability, trust and security under the United Nations auspices should be set up. Our common task for the next decade should be to end wars and conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, and Syria, in eastern Ukraine and the Palestinian- Israeli confrontation." Our specific regret is that major humanitarian crises in the region are overwhelming, thereby impacting millions of people in several countries with great shortfalls in funding and supplies. We are also witnessing the destruction of critical infrastructure that support human life.”
