1. “The goal is to guarantee the principles of accessible, effective and equitable justice, ensure respect for the law based on equality, protect individuals and allow them to exercise their political, economic, social and political and cultural rights effectively. In conclusion, I reaffirm the Kingdom of Morocco's strong commitment to a multilateralism that respects the rules and principles of international law. In that regard, Morocco remains engaged with the United Nations as the legitimate and representative Organization and the appropriate framework within which to pursue collective efforts to establish an international society that enjoys peace, security, sustainable development and respect for human rights.”

2. “In that regard, particular attention must be paid to the peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue, negotiation and mediation. Furthermore, warring parties in conflicts are obligated to respect international law, in particular international humanitarian law and international human rights law, as they guarantee the protection of civilians. For its part, the international community should invest more in conflict prevention, particularly by strengthening States' capacities in the areas of democracy and the rule of law. To that end, it is essential that States be provided with the national mechanisms enabling them to promote and protect human rights and establish democratic, transparent, legitimate and credible institutions able to meet the needs of the people in all aspects of daily life.”

3. “It is unfortunate to have to note that while old conflicts continue, new ones are emerging in which international law is constantly trampled. Accordingly, the Charter of the United Nations must maintain its primacy. Its purposes and principles must guide the actions of States and the international community. It is incumbent on us to respect and protect the sacrosanct principles enshrined in the Charter, namely, the sovereignty, territorial integrity and national unity of States. Moreover, respect for international law is predicated on the adoption of a comprehensive and multidimensional approach based on the primacy of the law in all aspects of international relations, particularly through respect for the Charter.”

4. “Mr. Rabi (Morocco) (spoke in French): I would first like to commend the Polish presidency for convening this open debate, which addresses a subject central to our multilateral work, particularly within the Security Council. Thanks to international law, which has been established and strengthened over the years, peace, security and stability prevail in the majority of countries of our world today. To take stock of the importance of international law, let us imagine, for a moment, that our world existed without it. Chaos would reign supreme everywhere. We would see wars everywhere. We would would still be in the era ofthe law ofthe jungle, defined by some philosophers as the survival of the fittest. We must therefore welcome the success that international law has guaranteed us. Clearly, international law is not respected everywhere.”
