1. “This conflict did not begin last week, last month, or even last year. The tensions underlying this conflict have long roots, most recently in the unresolved issues of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. For months, the Security Council, the African Union, my Government and many others in the international community have sent strong warnings to the parties that they must resolve these issues peacefully. To date, the parties have both failed to do so. In the history of this conflict, there has been a long litany of promises made and promises broken, so as this resolution indicates, we will judge the parties by their actions, not simply their words. With this vote, the Council has clearly imposed tight deadlines for concrete action, in line with the African Union decision.”

2. “Let me begin by congratulating you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of the Council and for your kind words about our stewardship last month. We very much look forward to working with you. The United States welcomes today's adoption of resolution 2046 (2012), which underscores the Security Council's strong and unanimous support for the road map for peace between the Sudan and South Sudan, as laid out by the African Union Peace and Security Council. The current conflict between the Sudan and South Sudan is on the verge becoming a full-scale and sustained war. It poses a clear and present threat to international peace and security. Both countries are on the brink of returning to the horrors of the past and threaten to take the entire region with them. To avoid untold devastation and suffering, the fighting must stop, and stop now.”

18. “We will be watching its actions day and night. We will work to ensure that there will be consequences should the Syrian regime continue to ignore this Council's decisions, press ahead with its murderous rampage and flout the will of the international community. Let me conclude by reiterating the United States' appreciation to the United Nations personnel, both military and civilian, who will comprise this new mission. The United States urges the Government of Syria to seize this chance for a peaceful political solution to the crisis before it is too late. I resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously.”

19. “Two days ago, the Council authorized the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria charged with monitoring compliance with the full set of commitments and obligations laid out in Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan's six-point plan. We welcome the positive statements from various Syrian opposition figures and groups about this new Mission, understanding how desperate the Syrian people are for assistance and, ultimately, for political change. Syrians have said that they hope this mission can help restrain the regime's brutality and that it will help them uphold their rights to express themselves freely, but we are all sober in our expectations. The regime's long track record is one of dependable deceit and deception. The United Nations Mission is therefore unusually risky and dangerous. The Syrian regime should make no mistake.”

20. “The scale of the Al-Assad regime's murderous campaign is shocking, with 10,000 Syrians killed and tens of thousands injured and imprisoned, widespread torture and an ever-worsening crisis of displaced persons and refugees. The conflict is also destabilizing Syria's neighbours. In Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon, there are already tens of thousands of Syrian refugees. Turkey and Lebanon have recently seen deadly violence spill across their borders. The United States continues to support the international humanitarian response to the crisis in Syria, providing more than $33 million in assistance, much of it channelled through United Nations agencies and programmes. We will continue to support those in greatest need.”

21. “Any Palestinian Government must accept the principles established by the Quartet, which are the building blocks of an independent Palestinian State: renouncing violence, recognizing Israel and accepting previous agreements. We likewise urge Israel to continue and to step up its efforts to deter, confront and prosecute anti- Palestinian violence and extremist hate crimes. Let me also reiterate that we do not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity. We continue to oppose any effort to legalize outposts. The fate of existing settlements must be dealt with by the parties along with the other permanent status issues. I will now turn to the situation in Syria, where the threat to international peace and security is both urgent and grave.”

22. “As we look to improve the financial situation on one side, we must do our utmost to promote an atmosphere of cooperation on both sides. International partners should urge the parties to refrain from provocative and unhelpful actions, including in Jerusalem, that undermine trust, cause delay or threaten to derail prospects for a negotiated settlement. Lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians requires both parties to take meaningful steps. Provocative actions, including rocket fire from Gaza, should be unanimously condemned. Such attacks are unacceptable and serve as a constant reminder of the serious threat posed to civilians by the illegal trafficking of weapons to Gaza. The Palestinians must continue efforts on security cooperation, strengthening public institutions and ending incitement.”

23. “We welcome the actions taken by the parties to resolve the outstanding issues related to tax and revenue collection and urge their prompt conclusion. While the parties address these difficult issues, the international community must continue to play a vital role in support of their efforts. The United States echoes the Quartet's call for continued international support for institution-building by the Palestinian Authority, including for contributions towards the $1.1 billion required to meet the Palestinian Authority's 2012 recurrent financing requirements. That funding is essential to preserve and build upon the Palestinian Authority's institutional gains and to expand economic opportunities for the Palestinian people.”

24. “In a joint statement issued following the meeting, the parties said, "Both sides hope the exchange of letters will help find a way to advance peace". The United States shares that hope and views the exchange as a positive step that builds on the Jordanian-hosted talks and the statements issued by the Quartet since last September. At its most recent meeting, the Quartet also focused on the importance of fostering continued international support for the Palestinian Authority's important institution-building efforts. In order to realize a future where Palestinians live in a sovereign State of their own, we must vigorously support the difficult steps needed to build the institutions and capacities of a future Palestinian State.”

25. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United States. I thank Under-Secretary-General Pascoe for his briefing. Earlier this month, in Washington, DC, Secretary of State Clinton hosted the most recent meeting of the Quartet. At that meeting, the Quartet principals welcomed plans for dialogue among the parties and discussed ways to support them. We have worked closely with our international partners, including the Quartet, to support the parties as they take steps to re-engage and rebuild communications. We should all support that effort, help to create a conducive climate and avoid any initiatives that distract from the pursuit of peace. On 17 April, we saw the beginning of a dialogue, when senior Palestinian officials delivered the first letter in an exchange with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.”

And we must be prepared to do so, given the Al-Assad regime's track record to date. The United States strongly supports the full implementation of the Joint Special Envoy's six-point plan. Yet let there be no doubt: we, our allies and others in this body are planning and preparing for those actions that will be required of all of us if the Al-Assad regime persists in the slaughter of the Syrian people. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I give the floor to the representative of the Syrian Arab Republic.”

31. “They are going to be deployed in the midst of protesters who are desperate for a protection that the monitors are not equipped or mandated to provide, and they will be deployed in numbers too small to cover the entire country but large enough to give rise to expectations that will be impossible to meet if the Syrian Government does not fulfil its commitments towards a sustained cessation of violence. All of our experience with United Nations peacekeeping over the last 65 years teaches us that such missions require that there be a peace to keep in order for them to succeed. The opposition has said that it wants and needs this Mission, hoping that the presence of the monitors will have a restraining effect on the Syrian Government and help uphold the rights of the Syrian people to assemble and express themselves freely.”

32. “If there is not a sustained cessation of violence, full freedom of movement for United Nations personnel and rapid, meaningful progress on other aspects - all other aspects - of the six-point plan, then we must all conclude that the Mission will have run its course. We will not wait 90 days to pursue measures against the Syrian Government if it continues to violate its commitments or obstruct the monitors' work. We express our deep gratitude to the monitors who are now embarking on this unprecedented and risky mission. We should be under no illusions: they are going to be dependent for security on the very Government that is responsible for the main security threats.”

33. “Syrian Government troops in armour have not been withdrawn from cities and returned to barracks; protesters are still being intimidated and murdered by Government forces; the status of thousands of detainees remains unclear; and precious little progress has been made on the issue of humanitarian access, with an estimated 1 million civilians still in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. The Security Council has called upon the Government to take concrete action. The Syrian Government has ignored the Council. In the United States, our patience is exhausted. Let me be plain: no one should assume that the United States will agree to renew this Mission at the end of 90 days.”

34. “Since the adoption of resolution 2042 (2012), exactly one week ago, in which the Council unanimously called on the Syrian Government to honour all its obligations, including a sustained cessation of violence, the regime has unleashed yet another wave of horrific violence against its own people, resulting in the death of scores of Syrians daily. The Government's use of shelling and heavy weaponry, in particular in Homs, has reached levels that surpass those before the ceasefire.”

35. “The Syrian opposition has said that it welcomes the deployment of the United Nations military observers and additional human rights and other civilian monitors, because they will be impartial eyes and ears on the ground to bear witness to the Syrian Government's flagrant and persistent violations of its commitments. Even more so, the Syrian people expect, and deserve, that the Council will stand behind today's resolution and ensure that swift and meaningful consequences are imposed should the regime continue to flout its obligations.”

The United States voted in favour of resolution 2043 (2012) authorizing the establishment of the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria, but we are sober about the risks, all the more so given the Al-Assad regime's long record of broken promises, deceit and disregard for the most basic standards of humanity. The Syrian people, like us, know that the deployment of 300, or even 3,000, unarmed observers cannot on its own stop the Al-Assad regime from waging its barbaric campaign of violence against the Syrian people. What can bring a halt to that murderous rampage is continued and intensified external pressure on the Al- Assad regime.”
