1. “We urgently need tools to provide medical and nutritional assistance to the most vulnerable. We call for additional financial support in order to expand those services. We also highlight the conditions for humanitarian access to Rukban camp. We are very concerned that the provisions of the most recent convoy are about to run out and there is still no permission to return. That is why we call on the Syrian Government and the countries that can - in one way or another - make that possible to work together so that a new convoy can reach Rukban as soon as possible. We welcome the initiative to establish a coordination process with the Syrian Government on possible evacuations from the camp. We emphasize, however, that all returns must be voluntary decisions, based on reliable information and carried out in a safe and dignified manner.”

2. “President, I would like to elaborate on the following points. In view of the current situation in the country, where 5 million people have acute humanitarian needs, we believe that one of our main priorities is to work to increase the access of the United Nations to the communities where those people are found, throughout the country, in order to provide adequate assistance to enhance their own resilience. With respect to the recent displacements recorded in north-eastern Syria, most ending up in the Al-Hol camp, we would like to highlight the extraordinary work to accommodate and attend to the more than 70,000 people - mainly women and children - who have arrived at the camp in recent months. We are particularly concerned about the malnourishment of the child population.”

3. “It is truly everyone's responsibility to improve the conditions of the people caught up in one of the longest and most heartbreaking conflicts of recent times. Eight years of devastating clashes have left women and children disproportionately affected by the lack of security and stability, and 80 per cent of the population living below the poverty line. We therefore applaud the success of the Conference and hope to see a broad, accelerated, transparent and sustained implementation of the humanitarian response plan. We encourage the humanitarian actors involved to observe and uphold international humanitarian law, the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence in each of their operations and in all circumstances, and to keep the Syrian people at the centre of their plans and actions. With your permission, Mr.”

4. “Mr. Trullols Yabra (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): We are grateful for the briefings today on the political and humanitarian situation in Syria. As always, we take this opportunity to reiterate our appreciation for the intense work of the United Nations and its partners towards achieving peace, development and the well-being of the Syrian people. Alleviating the suffering of the more than 11 million people with humanitarian needs remains a global concern. That was apparent at the recently concluded Brussels Conference, where the international community expressed its willingness to help alleviate the plight of the Syrian people, including the 5.6 million refugees and the communities that host them.”

5. “To conclude, in addition to the situations I have mentioned, the Great Lakes region faces other major challenges, such as overcoming mistrust among some States that are signatories to agreements and achieving the compliance of Governments with the minimum quota of 30 per cent of women's participation in 2020, among others. In order to overcome existing challenges, a common analysis of the problems and opportunities is needed, focused on achieving joint regional solutions through dialogue and cooperation and complying with national, regional and international commitments undertaken in support of peace, security and the socioeconomic development of the Great Lakes region and its peoples.”

6. “The Dominican Republic condemns the violations of human rights committed in countries of the region as result of political processes, including the violent repression of demonstrations; the use of force by police and security forces; the prolonged detention of political prisoners; murders and kidnappings; the destruction of goods; the raping of civilians, including women and children; and the climate of impunity. We therefore call on the international, regional and national communities to redouble their efforts to provide practical and cooperative responses to bring the perpetrators to justice.”

7. “As the Secretary-General notes in his report, as of 31 December 2018, approximately 11.2 million people had been forcibly displaced, including 7.2 million internally displaced persons and more than 4 million refugees and asylum-seekers. Of equal concern is the growing Ebola outbreak and its high risk of regional spread in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In that regard, we applaud the response mechanisms that have been launched to eradicate the virus by Burundi, Rwanda, South Sudan and Uganda, among others, and call for increased funding for humanitarian assistance for those in need.”

8. “We therefore urge the affected countries to combine their efforts to dismantle armed groups; control illegal trafficking in natural resources, which is the source of financing for armed groups, and trafficking of illegal arms and ammunition; and invest in development plans for the population, thereby providing more opportunities for young people affected by armed conflict and help them develop their skills and meet the demands for labour by providing relevant educational opportunities. That climate of insecurity, among other factors, adds to the worrying humanitarian situation in the Great Lakes region, in particular the high number of displaced persons in Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Sudan.”

9. “Despite those positive developments, the Dominican Republic is concerned about the fragile security situation, especially in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where armed groups, such as the Allied Democratic Forces, have intensified their attacks against civilians, the Forces armees de la Republique democratique du Congo and MONUSCO, resulting in the death of hundreds of civilians, including women and children. Such activities create insecurity and have a negative impact on peace and stability across borders and throughout the region.”

10. “We emphasize the role played by the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States, the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) and the representatives of the Secretary- General in the region, among others, for their efforts and cooperation in the quest for a peaceful and stable coexistence in the region.”

11. “We also note the progress made in the strengthening of the region's commitments, such as advances in economic reintegration and judicial cooperation, the repatriation of unarmed combatants and bilateral collaboration among the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda to address cross-border security. We encourage the full implementation of those agreements, the holding of future peaceful and transparent elections and continued regional cooperation to complete the repatriation of the remaining members of armed groups.”

12. “The Dominican Republic commends the positive processes that have taken place in the Great Lakes region, in particular the peaceful holding ofpresidential, legislative and provincial elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; the peace agreement between the Government of the Central African Republic and 14 armed groups, which was facilitated by the African Union Initiative for Peace and Reconciliation; the signing of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan; and the outcome of the East African Community summit, held in Arusha on 1 February, which recognizes the urgency of ensuring a peaceful and inclusive political process towards the holding of elections in 2020 in Burundi, in full compliance with the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement for Burundi that was signed in 2000.”

13. “Mr. Trullols Yabra (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, we thank Mr. Said Djinnit, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Great Lakes region, for his briefing on the report of the Secretary-General (S/2019/229). We also commend his efforts and initiatives for peace and stability in the Great Lakes region during his tenure.”

14. “We appeal to the leadership and political will ofthe parties to urgently direct their renewed efforts towards achieving a peaceful resolution to this perennial conflict through fair negotiations, based on the relevant United Nations resolutions and previous agreements and initiatives, based on the two-State solution and the best interests of their people - Israelis and Palestinians, who for too many years have endured the suffering caused by the conflict.”

15. “Reports of an increase of violence and harassment by settlers in the H2 area of Hebron following the withdrawal of TIPH on 1 February justify our collective concern. We remain concerned about the fragile humanitarian and economic situation that persists in Gaza, including the acute energy crisis, and acknowledge and commend the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in its efforts to alleviate the suffering of the population. The recent freezing of fiscal revenue collected on behalf of the Palestinian Authority is an additional destabilizing factor that could further exacerbate the situation.”

16. “We also strongly condemn the violence of the past several days directed against protestors in Gaza, including women and children, just as we condemn the violence throughout the occupied Palestinian territory, including the continued use oflethal force and the firing of rockets, mortars and incendiary devices from Gaza into Israel, including the events of yesterday in which two children were injured and force was used against medical personnel carrying out their tasks. At our most recent meeting on this item (see S/PV.8466), we expressed concern about the gap left by the absence of the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH), given the key role it played in conflict prevention and the protection of Palestinians in that sensitive area.”

17. “As we recently discussed, we must revitalize our collective efforts and strengthen international consensus, as we are aware that we share common threats and challenges with regard to humanitarian issues and to regional and international security, while relying on international law, multilateralism and the peaceful resolution of conflicts, and recognizing the important mediation role played by the United Nations. In that regard, over the past quarter we have noted with dismay the continued expansion of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, with the advancement, approval or tender of more than 3,000 units and measures geared towards the potential legalization of several outposts and homes, including through steps to legalize them retroactively.”

18. “As we have been well warned, the taking of unilateral measures in flagrant violation of international law, continuous violence, incitement, provocation, financial pressures and the lack of internal reconciliation in the midst of a major humanitarian crisis are elements undermining the conditions necessary to achieving peace. Given the interrelated nature of conflicts in the Middle East, with the Israeli-Palestinian as perhaps the most emblematic and persistent of all time, the consequences of inaction entail the risk of fuelling violence and extremism in the region, while destabilizing it further and increasing the suffering and despair of millions of people.”

19. “Mr. Trullols Yabra (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, we thank Special Coordinator Mladenov for his comprehensive briefing on the situation on the ground, in the light of the most recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2019/251). We heard with deep concern the details concerning the dramatic deterioration of the situation, alerting us to the dangerous direction in which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is headed, while systematically eroding the prospect ofsustainable peace at a criticaljuncture.”

20. “We deem it vital to continue to hold the conferences on youth and security organized by the OSCE, as they acknowledge the importance of young people and their positive role in the promotion of a culture of peace and in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, in accordance with resolutions 2250 (2015) and 2419 (2018). On the eve of International Women's Day, we would like to pay tribute to all the women of the world, especially all those who have left, and continue to leave, their mark on their communities and their countries in the quest for a world that is more equitable, inclusive and participatory.”

21. “However, because of the prevailing lack of confidence and because political interests often result in losing sight of the human face of conflict, we must ensure the success of organizations such as the OSCE in resolving vital security situations. In this respect, it is crucial to have the support and legitimate commitment of the parties involved. We welcome the practice of ensuring the greater participation of women in the various areas of public and political life, in conflict prevention, in crisis management and in peacebuilding, as well as the key role played by youth in the strengthening of security and cooperation. In that vein, we would stress the importance of the OSCE's various multidimensional initiatives carried out jointly with and for young people, and of giving priority to the bolstering of inclusive youth policies.”

22. “In that respect, we reiterate our support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine and for the Special Monitoring Mission of the OSCE, which remains the barometer for the international community on the ground. We welcome the ongoing efforts of the OSCE to resolve the conflicts in Nagorno Karabakh, Georgia and Transnistria. We believe that sustained attention to protracted conflicts must be maintained, as they are the epicentre for the international community in the areas of peace, stability and international security. Our delegation believes that in keeping with Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, joint work with regional organizations can ensure a more effective response in preventing, responding to and mitigating conflicts.”

23. “In that context, it is an ongoing concern of the Council to follow up on ongoing conflicts in Europe, as promoting the parties' commitment to the implementation of the agreements reached will have repercussions on the living conditions of the civilian population, which usually is the most affected. The Dominican Republic recognizes the importance for the region of making progress in the situation in eastern Ukraine and agrees with the OSCE as to the need to stress the importance of respecting and implementing the Minsk agreements. We thank it for its availability to work on proposals that will help to promote and restore peace and security to the region.”

24. “We note with satisfaction that its priorities are consistent with the work done at the United Nations and by the Council itself, in other words, the prevention, mediation and mitigation of conflicts, as well as a focus on those affected, in order to bring about a safer future and effective multilateralism. We acknowledge the fact that its agenda represents both a challenge and an opportunity to follow up on the political dialogue in the region, in keeping with the commitments undertaken and in the framework of the quest for a sustainable solution. We took note with interest of the OSCE's readiness to stress the implementation of the agreements and related responsibilities.”

25. “Mr. Trullols Yabra (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me to join colleagues in congratulating and pledging support to you in your role as President and also to congratulate Equatorial Guinea on its recent presidency. The Dominican Republic wishes to thank the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Slovakia, Mr. Lajcak, Chairman-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), for his informative briefing on the activities of the organization. We congratulate the presidency of Slovakia and avail ourselves of this opportunity to express our support to the OSCE and our appreciation for its tireless efforts to promote security, stability and good governance throughout the region.”

26. “Likewise, it is important to complement such initiatives with training, procedural manuals, forms and platforms, among other concrete steps mentioned in the report. Concerning new methods and modalities used to finance terrorist group, including some as sophisticated as cryptocurrency exchange platforms and those that are more common in today's economy, such as digital wallets and mobile payment services, international cooperation continues to be key to effectively combat terrorism.”

27. “We deem close cooperation among the relevant authorities in the collection, management, preservation and exchange of information, including digital information, as crucial. To that end, it is necessary to shore up trust and cooperation among agencies in the area of information-sharing, while recognizing that the threat posed by ISIL and other terrorist groups is serious, imminent and shared by all. In order facilitate such international cooperation, it is necessary to implement agreements and protocols within the framework of national legislation and relevant international law, including international human rights law and international humanitarian law, that would make it operational.”

28. “In that regard, we underscore the important work carried out by the Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Executive Directorate and the Committee's December 2018 adoption of the addendum to the Madrid Guiding Principles to facilitate the work of Member States in addressing the challenges posed by the return and relocation of foreign terrorist fighters and their family members, while remaining sensitive to issues concerning gender, age and human rights. Another issue mentioned in the report that we would like to stress is the need to continue to deepen international cooperation among States with regard to both judicial processes and efforts to impede the financing of terrorism.”

29. “The stories that recently emerged in interviews about women under ISIL's control being accompanied by children and fleeing from the clutches of that terrorist group show the level of persuasion and coercion to which those women are exposed to join ISIL's ranks, which erases all human impulse of concern for the protection and well-being of their own children. We must recognize the challenge faced by countries of origin, and cooperate accordingly, by the return of ISIL foreign terrorist fighters and in developing strategies for prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration, in particular with regard to fighters' family members. Following their radicalization and traumatic violent experiences, women and children can unfortunately pose a future threat.”

30. “It is precisely ISIL's ability to adapt and take advantage of spaces, with or without weak, fragmented Governments or marginalized communities, that makes us reflect on the growing importance of addressing the causes that give rise or fuel radicalization and violent extremism, particularly among youth and, to an equal extent, women. Statistics indicating that about 10 per cent ofthe 40,000 people who travelled to join ISIL are minors and that about 20 per cent of foreign fighters are women and girls point to the need to focus on prevention as a key element in the fight against terrorism.”

    2019-02-11 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8460 (2019) · source

31. “That should keep alive the Security Council's concern and sense of urgency, despite acknowledgements of the concrete progress made in combating and eradicating that threat, with the support and effort of all actors involved, including States, the international community and civil society. The ongoing transformation of ISIL into a covert global network, the activities of its regional affiliates around the world, the challenge posed by the return and relocation of foreign terrorist fighters, the new reality that we face, the result of those terrorist groups' ability to adapt and the evolution of policies and actions to fight them, call for greater collaboration among States to strengthen joint global efforts, which means making adjustments and undertaking new initiatives and actions.”

32. “Mr. Trullols Yabra (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank you, Mr. President, and your delegation for convening this morning's meeting on the strategic report (S/2019/103) of the Secretary-General on the threat to international peace and security posed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) (Da'esh). We are also especially grateful to Mr. Vladimir Voronkov, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism, and Ms. Michele Coninsx, Executive Director of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, for their contributions on the current state of affairs. We continue to commend their critical work. As we have heard, ISIL continues to pose a serious threat to international security and peace.”
