  1. “We reaffirm our commitment to a two-State solution, based on the pre- 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine, and remain steadfast in our support for the full membership of Palestine at the United Nations as a step towards its recognition as a sovereign independent State.”

  2. “Those continued acts of provocation and aggression and systematic violations of basic human rights violate international law, accelerate the further deterioration of the situation in Palestine and further diminish the prospect of peace. Therefore, we once again call upon the occupying Power to cease all acts of provocation and aggression and fully comply with its obligations under international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. In that regard, Brunei Darussalam reiterates its full support for all international efforts aimed at achieving a comprehensive and lasting peace and security in the Middle East, in accordance with the rule of law as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and all relevant United Nations resolutions.”

  3. “We deeply condemn in the strongest terms the recent incursion into the Al-Aqsa Mosque and its courtyard led by the authorities and military forces of the occupying Power. That deliberate provocation and aggression clearly violated international law with the intention of changing the status quo of Jerusalem and Al-Haram Al-Sharif. We see that blatant action as affecting the sanctity of the holy site, which is sacred to many faiths. We are also deeply concerned that such an act has the potential to exacerbate tensions and provoke violence, which may result in the loss of innocent lives. Brunei Darussalam also strongly rejects and condemns the continued annexation by the occupying Power through its ongoing illegal settlement activities, which have forced the displacement of Palestinian families from their rightful homes and lands.”

  4. “As members of the international community, we have the responsibility to help the Palestinians in their long struggle for peace and justice. As the guarantor of international peace and security, the Council has a duty to uphold the Charter of the United Nations and an obligation to ensure the implementation of its resolutions, including those on the realization of the two-State solution based on the pre-1967 borders. In that regard, Brunei Darussalam respects the integrity of the Security Council resolutions on Palestine, in particular resolution 2334 (2016), which provides an effective and viable path to peace, and we call for that resolution to be fully respected and upheld.”

  5. “At the outset, I would like to congratulate Japan on its presidency of the Security Council for the month of January. I would also like to thank Mr. Tor Wennesland, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, for his comprehensive briefing. The question of Palestine is as old as the United Nations itself, and unfortunately that issue remains unresolved. Decades after it was first addressed by the United Nations, Palestinians continue to live under hardship and duress, with daily struggles under the occupying Power, and they continue to be deprived of their inalienable rights to self-determination and independence. Despite the various calls, debates and resolutions in this Chamber, many have turned a blind eye. That cannot continue.”

  6. “For more than half a century, foreign occupation has tremendously hindered the ability of Palestinians to exercise their basic human rights, including access to education, preventing them from achieving their full potential in contributing towards global development. As we reach the halfway mark in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, we should not forget how much wider the development gap is becoming between the rest of us and Palestine. Palestine deserves the same opportunities that all of us in this family of nations enjoy, to pursue a better future for its people. On that note, Brunei Darussalam supports efforts to promote Palestine’s full membership at the United Nations as a step towards a sovereign and independent State of Palestine. The meeting rose at 5.35 p.m.”

  7. “The international community must remain resolute in safeguarding its commitments, including upholding the two-State solution towards achieving an independent State of Palestine based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. With respect to that endeavour, Brunei Darussalam expresses its serious concerns regarding any change in the status quo of Jerusalem. We join the international community in calling on the occupying Power to cease all forms of aggression, atrocities and unfair practices against the Palestinians. Brunei Darussalam reiterates its full support for all international efforts aimed at achieving comprehensive and lasting peace and security in the Middle East, in accordance with the rule of law, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and all relevant United Nations resolutions.”

  8. “It is therefore of utmost importance for us to ensure that the grave situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, remains at the forefront of the United Nations agenda. Brunei Darussalam is gravely concerned with the deteriorating security situation and escalating instability in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. We continue to witness persistent acts of violence by the occupying Power that have resulted in the loss of innocent lives, including of children. We reiterate our condemnation in the strongest terms of the repeated blatant violations of Palestinian human rights and dignity, as well as the continuing deplorable actions by the occupying Power that go against international law and resolutions adopted by the Council.”

  9. “As reported to the General Assembly, the Middle East peace process did not resume, and the Middle East Quartet has not created opportunities for negotiation between the two parties concerned in the past year. In that regard, we call on the international community to sustain its attention and its efforts to ensure that Palestinians’ rights and freedoms continue to be addressed, including at the United Nations, with utmost priority. As we have seen in the past few years, the world has faced challenge after challenge, from battling the pandemic and its impacts, to geopolitical conflicts and climate change effects resulting in energy and food insecurity. Those challenges have greatly affected those who are most vulnerable and at risk, adversely affecting in particular countries in conflict such as Palestine.”

  10. “At the outset, I would like to congratulate Gabon on its presidency of the Security Council for the month of October and thank Mr. Tor Wennesland, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, for his comprehensive briefing this morning. The question of Palestine is almost as old as the United Nations itself. The suffering and struggles of the Palestinian people living under occupation for more than seven decades must not be ignored. Despite the countless debates held and numerous resolutions adopted, the question of Palestine remains unanswered. Efforts towards a peaceful solution have not been as productive as desired, and the realization of the two- State solution has failed to materialize.”

  11. “We look to the Security Council’s moral and persuasive authority to further demonstrate the principles and fundamentals contained therein for the maintenance of international peace and security. On our part, we will always strive to achieve congruence between those principles and our own conduct in world affairs.”

  12. “Indeed, a big part of ASEAN’s identity is our shared commitment to upholding the United Nations Charter and international law, as enshrined in the ASEAN Charter. On that note, we are committed to seeing a more robust ASEAN-United Nations partnership in enhancing ASEAN’s capacity in preventive diplomacy and conflict prevention as well as peacekeeping for the maintenance of peace and stability. These are vital tools that are conducive to an environment of trust and constructive cooperation and promote the peaceful settlement of disputes without resort to the threat or use of force. For Brunei Darussalam, the United Nations Charter is not merely an abstract concept. It has moral and legal significance for big and small countries alike.”

  13. “On its part, Brunei Darussalam reaffirms the principles and purposes of the Charter that govern our conduct in the international arena and recognizes it as a key document to guide the Security Council in implementing its mandate of maintaining international peace and security. We are mindful that much more needs to be done. We continue to see conflicts all over the globe that have resulted in the loss of lives as well as distress and much suffering. We share the concern that security developments and the escalation of conflicts in many parts of the world could weaken our resolve to achieve our common goals. We continue to look to the leadership of the Security Council for global collective security and stress the importance of engaging regional organizations such as ASEAN. Such partnerships are crucial to addressing global challenges.”

  14. “It bears recalling that we are meeting here, at the United Nations, where multilateralism and diplomacy are at the core of our work. And yet we do so against the backdrop of a backsliding on multilateralism. Thus today’s debate provides an opportune moment of self- reflection, with a focus on our concerted efforts in respecting and upholding the United Nations Charter. As great and as many as our differences may be, it is evident that the Charter has been an effective commonality that has contributed to our overall unity. The effectiveness of the United Nations is contingent on each and every Member State upholding the Charter.”

  15. “Seventy-five years on, the United Nations has no equal. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, its mandate has also evolved, but our lofty goal of sustained peace remains constant. The United Nations Charter has been the cornerstone of the success of the Organization. It has been a meaningful compass that has seen us through both significant advancements and difficult times. The Charter has also been a means of empowerment, especially for small States such as ours. We firmly believe that the security and well-being of our country are ensured in a rules-based international order, with strict adherence to the principles of the Charter. It has ensured our equal participation in pursuing the goals of achieving international peace, security and development, along with the rest of the world.”

  16. “I would like to congratulate Viet Nam on assuming this month’s presidency of the Council and to thank you, Sir, for having organized this timely and important debate, particularly as we commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of this body. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General, António Guterres, and the Chair of The Elders, Mrs. Mary Robinson, for their remarks. Brunei Darussalam aligns itself with the statements delivered by the representatives of Azerbaijan and the Philippines, on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), respectively (see S/PV.8699, Res.1). The United Nations was born after two world wars that made it crucial for nations to come together in forging collective peace and security and preventing another such global destruction.”
