  1. “We feel obligated to take the floor once more as we are astonished by the baseless allegations, made by the Syrian regime's representative, of organ trafficking related to Turkey. The organs that he mentioned sadly belong to the Syrian children indiscriminately killed by the regime. The operations he mentioned are conducted in cooperation with the United Nations to save those children who are seriously injured. We just want to set the facts straight. Just today the press reported that 30,000 Syrian children have been born in safety in Turkey. Turkey's opening of its doors to Syrians escaping conflict not only saves the lives of men, women and children, but also inspires hope for the future of Syria through those newborns.”

  2. “As we embark upon a process to develop a set of sustainable development goals for post-2015, we believe that gender equality and the empowerment of women should be at the centre of all our solutions and commitments. That will also further our agenda on women, peace and security. In conclusion, I would like to stress that the best way to combat threats to global peace and security and to prevent conflicts is through a unified display of determination and the cooperation of the international community. Political divisions within the United Nations, particularly in the Security Council, deprive the world of its most important guarantee for global peace. Finally, this body is a serious platform, which compels us not to respond to the voice of one delegation.”

  3. “The best way forward is to prioritize support for the building of local and national capacity. Such endeavours must be supported by the United Nations, regional and subregional organizations and other actors when the need arises. The Peacebuilding Commission and the Peacebuilding Fund are two very important tools that can be used to support national capacities in that respect. Finally, security is a precondition for development and development generates more security. Conflict prevention should therefore be seen as a comprehensive approach that integrates security, development and human rights. In that regard, we would also like to touch upon the interface between security and development and the role that women can play in that respect.”

  4. “At the same time, they are essential mechanisms that provide the United Nations with direct access to information from the field. In addition, the idea of preventive missions mentioned in Security Council presidential statement S/PRST/1999/34 could be further explored as an innovative conflict prevention mechanism. Our third point is on the importance of national ownership. The peaceful resolution of disputes is a sovereign responsibility embedded in the Charter of the United Nations. Yet, especially in the present climate, where the growing number of conflicts and the increase in violent extremism and terrorism, which take their toll on innocent civilian populations, the international system also needs to provide appropriate responses for the protection of civilians.”

  5. “Regional organizations have unique perspectives and a local understanding of the conflicts, cultural norms and security challenges within their regions, which gives them a comparative advantage. The most recent General Assembly resolution 68/303, initiated by the Group of Friends of Mediation and adopted only a few weeks ago, is the first resolution on mediation that recognizes the key role that regional and subregional organizations play in that field. In addtion, Turkey welcomes the cooperation between the Secretariat and regional organizations on mediation, specifically capacity-bulding. Turkey also attaches great importance to the United Nations regional offices. They are crucial tools for early warning, prevention and mediation.”

  6. “The Group of Friends of Mediation, founded in 2010 and co-chaired by Turkey and Finland, has expedited its efforts to contribute to the United Nations in that respect. I would also like to underline that promoting intercultural and interreligious dialogue is one of the most effective ways to prevent conflicts. With that understanding, Turkey, together with Spain, launched the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations initiative in 2005. Our second point is related to regional organizations. Although the primary responsibility remains with the Security Council, regional and subregional organizations play an important role in the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts in their respective regions.”

  7. “I would like to take this opportunity to touch upon a number of key points that Turkey sees as crucial to consider in the framework of this debate. The first issue that I want to stress is mediation. It is an effective cross-cutting tool that is consent-based and applies to all stages of the conflict cycle. It is the most cost-effective and efficient way to prevent and resolve conflicts. The United Nations has successfully supported a wide range of mediation efforts since its inception and has taken important steps to enhance its mediation capabilities in recent years. It is necessary to continue to develop such United Nations capabilities with political, technical and financial support.”

  8. “At the outset, allow me to express our appreciation to the United Kingdom presidency for scheduling this important debate. We would also like to thank the Secretary-General and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights for their insightful briefings. Today's debate is not only is timely but also has symbolic value. As we commemorate the centenary of the start of the First World War this year, the eruption of episodes of violence around the globe, the surge in terrorism and violent extremism and the increase in atrocity crimes, coupled with the growing number of displacements and humanitarian emergencies, are becoming increasingly widespread. Those worrisome developments hamper the capabilities of the international community, the United Nations and the Security Council to ensure timely and effective responses.”
