“Palestinians and Israelis alike must do everything necessary to overcome the difficulties they are now facing and those they will face in the future as part of this difficult peace process which the entire world follows with admiration and hope. I resume my functions as President of the Security Council. The next speaker is the representative of the United Arab Emirates. I invite him to take a seat at the Council table and to make his statement.”

“In this context, we consider it essential to speed up the initial measures adopted by Israel to ease the situation of the Palestinian population. It is not possible to implement security measures which in fact constitute collective punishment of innocent people. It seems to us that the border must be reopened now in a manner consistent with the situation and that the other measures be reconsidered. The international community must not allow any group to use violence and terror as a means of imposing its views. We express our solidarity with the Palestinian people in its suffering, and with the families of the victims of the attacks in Israel. We appeal to all parties in that region which is so dear to us all.”

“Ultimately, it is a matter of creating conditions in which the security of the human being, and not only of States, may become a reality for all of the inhabitants of the region wherever they may be. The security of the human being is greatly affected in the Palestinian territories by the drastic interruption in access to jobs, freedom of movement, imports, exports and normal ties with Israel and the rest of the world. Information the Security Council has received from the Secretariat points to the serious effects which the closure of the borders of the Palestinian territories is having. We are therefore faced with a humanitarian and political situation which we cannot ignore and which must be resolved as soon as possible, thus making security a reality for all.”

“It is repugnant to note how this means was used in February when suicide bombers caused explosions which caused death and destruction, and which have led us to today's debate. The perpetrators of this and other attacks, which have affected Israel as well as Palestine, must be condemned by all States. Hence, we understand the concern of the Government of Israel for the safety of its people. The Government of Chile has condemned these attacks in very strong terms. At the same time, however, the choice of measures to be adopted to defend the security of Israel must take account of their widespread negative impact on the daily lives of people living in the territories under the responsibility of the Palestinian Authority. The international community must be concerned with the safety of individuals throughout the area.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Chile. The historic peace process on which the State of Israel and the Palestinian National Authority have embarked is too important for us to allow it to be threatened. We know that it is a complex and delicate process which requires of us all an iron will not to allow it to deviate from the commitments that have been achieved. That is why we support all those who are committed to peace - that is, the vast majority. But unfortunately it is obvious that not everyone in the area seeks peace. Terrorist acts are aimed at preventing this peace process from moving forward and at taking the situation back to the bitter days of war and intolerance. Chile condemns terrorism as a means of political action and in all circumstances.”

We appeal in the strongest terms to the parties to respond positively so that, beginning now, a future of peace, progress and stability, so sorely needed by the Afghan people, can begin to be built.

“We appeal - and this will seem unnecessary, but I believe that here in the Security Council we need to emphasize these points - to the Government and factions to think first and foremost of the people of Afghanistan. There can be no agreement without the participation of everyone, but neither can there be a political agreement unless the well-being of the people of Afghanistan is made the paramount objective. The search for power, territorial control and Victory over another merely increases suffering; the Afghan leaders themselves know that as well as anyone. Having heard and read the positions of the Afghan leadership, one wishes there were more affection, more love, more sensitivity towards people, towards the innocent human beings whose fates depend exclusively on their geographic location and who are not consulted.”

“Lastly, Chile wishes to pay a very sincere and heartfelt tribute to the work of the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Organization for Migration, the United Nations Children's Fund, the World Food Programme and other non-governmental organizations that, in very difficult circumstances, are striving to ease the suffering of the people most affected. We appeal for the free flow of humanitarian assistance to Kabul. Along with other delegations here, we also commend and fully support the initiatives carried out by the Special Mission representing the Secretary-General in the region. We know, however, that no progress in the Afghan situation is possible without the resolute cooperation of all parties to the conflict.”

“At the same time, we feel that the efforts of the parties, including those of all Afghan representatives and of the States most closely concerned, should focus on the search for an immediate and lasting cease-fire agreement. We feel that it would be useful at a later stage to consider convening an international conference to address all the Afghan problems comprehensively. Along with all this, the continuation of development programmes aimed at rehabilitating economic activity and the growing reintegration of people to productive tasks is of special importance. This seems all the more necessary when we consider the disturbingly high levels of drug production in Afghanistan, which has a negative impact on the peace process, since it is an agent for destabilization in neighbouring countries and throughout the region.”

“Resolutions of the General Assembly have repeatedly remained unimplemented, and in recent months we have continued to be distressed by the continuation of military activity in Kabul and other areas, resulting in death and destruction and seriously endangering regional peace and stability. My delegation wishes to repeat the importance it attaches to the fact that those States that bear the heaviest responsibility for resolving the conflict should take the necessary measures to promote peace in Afghanistan. Ending the flow of arms, ammunition and other military supplies is indispensable for promoting an end to conflict. We believe that it is urgent to put an immediate end to undue interference in the internal affairs of Afghanistan. Similarly, the commitments undertaken by the present Government should be fully respected.”

“We believe that we are thus making a contribution to promoting peace initiatives and resolving a conflict in a Member State, and also better meeting the common desire to have a Council which works in increasingly transparent ways. We think that we may also in this manner achieve the legitimacy and support which all decisions of the Council should have. In recent years, despite the enormous efforts made by the United Nations and other States, as well as by the Afghan parties, we note with regret that the warring factions in Afghanistan seem to continue to prefer the military option.”

“I thank the representative of Germany for his kind words addressed to me. I will now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Chile. In the first place, I wish to express my satisfaction over the interest in and support for the initiative of holding this orientation debate on the serious crisis in Afghanistan. The positive response of a large number of delegations is clear proof that the international community is concerned about the continuing suffering of the Afghan People. Furthermore, Chile considers it extremely timely and necessary to be able to hear in this open debate the comments, opinions, suggestions, ideas and points of view of other delegations, including those of many States of the region, non-members of the Council which are affected in a variety of ways by the Afghan crisis.”
