“Thirdly, in order to comprehensively increase the efficiency of peacekeeping policing, the rapid deployment and operational capabilities of peacekeeping police have a bearing on whether the missions can play their role at key moments. The Council, the Secretariat, host States and troop-contributing countries should strengthen communication and coordination, improve the formation and deployment processes of peacekeeping civilian police and formed police units, and optimize logistics. In that process, the Secretariat should carefully heed and value the opinions and recommendations of the police-contributing countries. The mission should strengthen scientific planning and management, improve the efficiency of resource utilization, and avoid unnecessary waste and overlap.”

“They must respect the sovereignty of the host State, heed the opinions of host States while helping them carry out activities such as security sector reform, constructively provide training, advisory assistance and support, and work to find assistance programmes that are best suited to local conditions. Secondly, to strengthen the focus of United Nations policing, when the Council deploys peacekeeping operations it should ensure that the peacekeeping mandate is viable and practical, explicitly prioritize tasks, and avoid all-inclusive mandates. The implementation results of peacekeeping policing mandates should be reviewed in a timely way. The mandated tasks and deployment scales should also be adjusted according to the developments in the host States in a timely way.”

“The maintenance of international peace and security is one of the purposes of the Charter of the United Nations and a pillar of the United Nations work. In recent years, as the nature of conflicts and disputes has become more diverse, peacekeeping operations face increasingly complex situations and tasks. The United Nations peacekeeping policing mandates have also grown continuously. To ensure the sound and effective conduct of United Nations peacekeeping police work, it is necessary to change with the times and to strike a balance between mandate formulation and implementation results, and between efficiency and scale. In that connection, China would like to make four points. First, United Nations peacekeeping police should strictly abide by the Council's mandate and the three principles of peacekeeping.”

“All parties should work together to achieve that goal. China has always abided by the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and respected the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, including Ukraine. China supports all actions that will contribute to dialogue and consultation and to finding a political solution to the crisis. China will continue to play a positive and constructive role in favour of a political solution to the question of Ukraine.”

“For the next stage, all the parties concerned should truly implement the Minsk agreement in a comprehensive manner so as to ensure that a ceasefire is achieved, the violence in eastern Ukraine is brought to an end and the humanitarian situation in affected areas is alleviated. The question of Ukraine involves both complex history and current reality. A fundamental solution to the question of Ukraine should take into full account the legitimate rights, interests and wishes of all regions and ethnic groups in Ukraine. It should also seek to satisfy the reasonable concerns of all parties and achieve a balance of interests among them. We hope that all parties will continue to engage in constructive dialogue with a View to agreeing on a balanced, lasting and comprehensive political solution.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Assistant Secretary-General ad interim Toynberg- Frandzen, Ambassador Apakan and Ambassador Tagliavini for their briefings just now. While the overall security situation in eastern Ukraine has been stable recently, violent attacks have continued to take place and have caused loss of life and property. China is concerned about that. At the same time, China welcomes the recent agreement signed between Russia and Ukraine on natural gas and hopes that the agreement will contribute to easing the current tensions and enhancing a political solution to the crisis in Ukraine. China believes that a political solution is the only way to resolve the question of Ukraine.”

The international community, when addressing the question of Bosnia and Herzegovina, should adopt a balanced and cautious approach and give due attention to the opinions and concerns of all parties. China supports High Representative Inzko in conducting his work in accordance with his mandate and in a stable and constructive manner, so as to play a positive role in advancing the political process in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

China hopes that all ethnic communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina will consolidate the positive achievements in State-buidling and continue to implement in a comprehensive manner the Dayton Peace Agreement so as to achieve greater progress in various areas. Bosnia and Herzegovina is an important country in the Balkan region. Maintaining peace and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina is in the common interests of the countries of the region and the international community.”

There has been positive progress in economic development and building the rule of law. China welcomes that development. China respects the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the international community recently stepped up their mediation efforts and good offices regarding the conflict in South Sudan. China has urged the two sides to the conflict to cooperate with IGAD in mediation efforts to bring an end to the violence and hostilities and to make progress in the inclusive dialogue, with a View to achieving a solution acceptable to all sides and giving hope to the Sudanese people. We support IGAD in continuing to play a leading role in mediation.

China hopes that that resolution will be implemented fully and faithfully so as to help the African Union and the Federal Government of Somalia in the fight against Al-Shabaab and maintain peace and stability in Somalia and the Horn of Africa. China officially reopened its embassy on 12 October, which was a significant step taken by the Chinese Government in support of peace and reconstruction in Somalia. China will take this opportunity to pursue comprehensive and practical cooperation in various areas with the Somali Government and assist the country in achieving peace, stability and development. Third is the situation in South Sudan.”

“The international community should consider carefully how to create synergies, mobilize resources and promote the speedy resumption of peace talks with a view to making progress on the Palestinian question and resolving the matter promptly and in a just and reasonable way. The Council's inaction on this question should not be allowed to continue. We welcome the draft resolution circulated by Jordan on this subject. China supports the Council in discharging its due responsibilities and playing its rightful role by responding to the legitimate demands of Palestine and other Arab States as soon as possible. Second is the situation in Somalia. In October, the Security Council considered the work of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), the humanitarian situation and piracy.”

“China attaches great importance to the Middle East peace process and is deeply concerned about the tension caused by the Palestinian-Israeli situation. China urges Israel to immediately cease its settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, so as to create conditions conducive to confidence-building and the resumption of negotiations. We earnestly hope that the Palestinian and Israeli sides will show restraint and avoid any further escalation of the tensions or a relapse into outright conflict. Dialogue and negotiations are the only path to peace. Both sides must demonstrate political will and resume negotiations as soon as possible.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): We wish to thank you, Madam President, for having convened today's meeting. We appreciate in particular Argentina's success in presiding over the Council during the month of October. We welcome the five countries recently elected to serve on the Council for the 2015-2016 term, namely, Angola, Malaysia, New Zealand, Spain and Venezuela. China is ready to cooperate closely with the new members in jointly contributing to the maintenance of international peace and security. Iwish to focus on three ofthe issues that the Council took up during the month of October, beginning with the situation in the Middle East. The Palestinian question was the focus ofthe Security Council's work in October. The Council held several public debates and emergency meetings on this issue.”

“Secondly, resolution 2182 (2014) clearly stipulates that the resolution shall not be regarded as establishing customary international law. Measures taken by States under the resolution should not affect flag States' exclusive jurisdiction over their vessels on the high seas. Any inspection of such vessels needs the prior consent of the flag States concerned. China maintains that resolution 2182 (2014) should be implemented fully and to the letter. In implementing the resolution, Member States should adhere to the principles of international law and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the flag States and countries concerned.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Chinese delegation voted in favour of resolution 2182 (2014), which was just adopted by the Security Council. At the same time, I wish to emphasize two points. First, China always maintains that, in its consultations on relevant resolutions, the Security Council must extensively listen to the views of all sides and effectively respect the legitimate demands of States and regional organizations concerned.Arab States had concerns on parts of the text of the draft resolution. In its prior consultations on the draft, the Security Council should have heeded those concerns and, through full consultations, tried to reach maximum consensus and garner the widest support.”

“China supports discussions on improving the sanctions mechanisms of the Council in order to ensure that the information related to listing applications is complete and accurate. The establishment of the post of Ombudsman for the Council's Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee has its own special background and needs. In the light of the work of other Sanctions Committees, the Council may wish to study the question as to whether the mandate of the Ombudsperson should be extended to other Sanctions Committees. In handling relations between the Council and the ICC, China's position is consistent. We believe that the ICC's efforts to seek justice should take into account the urgent needs of maintaining regional peace and stability.”

“Therefore, the Council should attach importance to applying the expertise and experiences of the African Union and other regional organizations and their advantages in terms of history, geography and culture; strengthen its communication with them, and fully hear their opinions before making decisions; and support the important role played by regional organizations and the countries themselves, third-party States and organizations to play a more important role in the resolution of conflicts. I thank Ms. Prost, Ombudsperson of the Council's Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities, and Ms. Bensouda, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), for their briefings.”

“The Council should pay more attention to listening to the views of the general membership, in particular the countries on its agenda, and should step up communication and dialogue with the countries contributing troops to the peacekeeping operations and with the Secretariat. Questions related to Africa have always been a major focus of the Security Council.”

“The more complex and urgent the crises and challenges are, the greater the need for Council members to work together to be united in purpose and efforts and to cooperate fully in ways that reflect the principles of justice and democracy. All Council members should have ample time for studying the draft resolutions and presidential statements presented and, through patient consultations and negotiations, reach broad consensus and preserve the solidarity of the Council, rather than forcing texts through on which there are still major differences. Fourthly, there should be stepped-up communication and pooling of ideas.”

“Meanwhile, the Charter also includes provisions on the responsibilities of other United Nations organs. All United Nations bodies should fulfil their respective mandates, and, under the Charter, the Council should focus its energy and resources on addressing the most urgent issues that threaten international peace and security. On thematic issues, it should enhance its consultation and coordination with the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and other United Nations bodies in order to avoid duplication of effort. Thirdly, it should continue to pursue democratic consultations and political collective decision-making. Council members share the same responsibilities for maintaining international peace and security.”

“The Council should make use of the prevention, good offices and mediation tools entrusted to it by the Charter in an integrated manner in order to actively facilitate political dialogue and, through consultations and negotiations, promote reconciliation in order to achieve lasting peace and stability and safeguard international peace and security. That is also an important reflection of the Council's role in the peaceful resolution of disputes under the principles of international law and its fulfilment of the responsibilities entrusted to it by the Charter. Secondly, the Council should focus on priorities and coordinate the division of labour. Under the Charter, the Council has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

“The wider United Nations membership also has high expectations of the Council. China supports the ongoing improvement of the working methods of the Council so that it can conduct its work more fairly, efficiently and transparently, better meet the expectations of the international community, and play a greater role in the maintenance of international peace and security. I would now like to focus on the following points. First, the Council should adhere to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations as its guide in promoting the peaceful settlement of disputes.”

“Through various flexible means such as informal interactive dialogues, the Council has attached importance to improving its exchanges and interaction with the Member States and regional and subregional organizations. Since the beginning of this year, the Council has adopted four notes of the President on improving its working methods. These targeted measures have strengthened the mechanism-building process within the Council, contributing to its more pragmatic and efficient work, and helping the Council to better fulfil its Charter responsibilities. The current international security situation is highly complex. The continual outbreak of regional conflicts and local wars, coupled with the interlinked threats and challenges to security posed by terrorism, have made the responsibilities and mission of the Security Councileven more arduous.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): The Chinese delegation thanks Argentina for its initiative of holding today's open debate, and for its outstanding work as Chair of the Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Matters. In accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, the Council should elaborate its own rules of procedure. In recent years, while meeting all its other responsibilities, the Council has paid close attention to improving its working methods. These efforts have borne fruit. The number of open meetings convened by the Council has risen every year and the Council presidencies have persisted in briefing non-Coucil Members on a monthly basis, thereby enhancing the transparency of its work.”

“China has also taken note of the bill recently adopted by the Ukrainian Parliament that grants special status to the eastern part of Ukraine. China hopes that in the next phase the parties concerned will continue their constructive efforts to ensure the effective implementation of the Minsk ceasefire agreement. In the meantime, inclusive dialogue should be initiated as soon as possible in order to find a balanced, lasting and comprehensive political settlement that takes into consideration the common interests of various ethnic groups and regions in Ukraine.”

“China calls upon the parties concerned to offer cooperation and coordination with the investigation in accordance with the relevant Council resolution and provide objective, authentic and verifiable evidence in order to ensure that the result of the investigation is credible and able to withstand any scrutiny. International specialized agencies, such as International Civil Aviation Organization, should continue their pivotal role in the investigation. Objectively speaking, the continuous improvement in the situation in Ukraine is conducive to the smooth conduct of the international investigation of the incident. China welcomes the recent signing between the Government of Ukraine and the militias in the east of the Minsk ceasefire agreement, which is in conformity with the fundamental, long-term interests of the Ukrainian people.”

“To date, China has sent 174 medical experts and workers serving in affected areas in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. Earlier today, Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is on a visit to India, announced that the Chinese Government has decided that, in addition to the two previous contributions, another contribution valued at Â¥200 million in cash, food and material will be sent to Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. China will also provide $2 million dollars in cash respectively to the WHO and the African Union in support of their efforts aimed at fighting the pandemic. China will continue to work with all the countries of the world and join hands with the West African countries concerned to help them weather the current crisis.”

“To support African countries in their response to the Ebola outbreak, China provided assistance in cash and kind as early as April and, in August, we assembled and immediately sent to the three countries materials for pandemic control and relief valued at Â¥30 million. China also dispatched two groups of public health experts and clinicians to the affected areas to provide guidance and assistance. Since the outbreak of the crisis, the Chinese medical team on the ground has stayed on to actively help the local people in preventing and controlling the epidemic. Recently, China dispatched to Sierra Leone a medical team of 59 members and a biological security laboratory for lab testing and the management of patients kept for observation.”

“In the meantime, the international community should vigorously help those countries advance their economic and social development and strengthen their capacity-building ininfrastructure and public administration, so as to enhance their capacity for pandemic prevention and control. China was hit by the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic in 2003, so we greatly sympathize with the people of the African countries concerned, who are suffering from the current pandemic. The Chinese leadership and Government attach deep importance to the problem of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and have, since the very beginning of the epidemic, provided assistance to the countries concerned and shared with them China's experience in pandemic control.”

“The current Ebola outbreak has overwhelmed the public health systems of the three countries, further hampering the already fragile economic and social development in those countries and their neighbours. When providing emergency medical relief and assistance to those countries to help them cope with the current pandemic, the international community should keep their long-term needs in mind, actively increase input in and support for the development of their medical and health-care systems and help them to establish as soon as possible comprehensive health systems and systems for pandemic prevention and control.”

“China supports the World Health Organization (WHO) in further using its expertise to monitor the pandemic, to facilitate the expeditious research and development of treatment plans and vaccines, and at the same time to step up prevention campaigns. Other United Nations organs and agencies should play their own parts, coordinate their efforts and establish a reasonable labour division among them, working together to contribute to the fight against the Ebola pandemic. Thirdly, the international community should address both the root causes and symptoms of the problem by assisting African countries in accelerating their economic and social development.”

“Diseases do not heed national borders, and adversity is the touchstone of genuine friendship. We hope that the international community's assistance will bring hope to the populations in the affected areas; help alleviate the sense of helplessness, panic and isolation; and build confidence to tackle the Ebola pandemic. Secondly, the international community should further coordinate various responses to the crisis. China supports the United Nations leading role in coordinating international responses to the pandemic, and welcomes the initiative of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to establish in West Africa the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response, which we believe will help mobilize various parties to integrate international assistance efforts and will form a synergy in the whole process.”

“Therefore, fighting the Ebola pandemic is not only a task of African countries and their peoples, but also a common responsibility of all countries in the world. . China believes that efforts should be made in the following three areas. First, the international community should respond to the Ebola outbreak with a heightened sense of urgency by expeditiously providing assistance to the affected countries. Time is of the essence in the current Ebola crisis, as the disease has been spreading rapidly, widely and deeply. The longer it is allowed to continue, the more difficult and costly it will be for those countries to contain it. China appeals to the international community to address the crisis with utmost attention and offer immediate assistance to the countries in the affected areas.”

We would like to thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, Dr. Nabarro and Director General Margaret Chan for their respective briefings. China also listened carefully to the statement of the representative of Medecins Sans Frontieres. At present, the Ebola pandemic is rapidly spreading throughout countries in western Africa, including Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, seriously threatening the health and life of their populations. The Ebola crisis has already transformed from a public health issue into a complicated and multifaceted problem, impacting the politics, security, economies and societies of the countries concerned and threatening the security of international public health.”

We should give full play to the role of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and other regional mechanisms so as to achieve common security and development and allow the question of Afghanistan to move along its trajectory in line with the common interests of the Afghan people and the peoples of the region as a whole. Sixthly, China supports the United Nations taking the lead in coordinating international efforts for the resolution of the question of Afghanistan.”

Fourthly, China calls on the international community to honor its commitment and ensure uninterrupted economic assistance and support. The key is to help Afghanistan implement the priorities of its national development plan, increase its capacity to achieve independent economic and social development, and eliminate the sources of terrorism, drug production and trafficking, and cross-border organized crime.”

We support the playing of an important role by the Afghan High Peace Council. We hope that the international community will help Afghanistan to independently move forward with the reconciliation process. We also welcome the constructive assistance provided by neighbouring countries in this regard. Thirdly, China is deeply concerned at the increasing number of security incidents in certain parts of the country and the mounting civilian casualties. We support Afghanistan's efforts to enhance the capacity of its National Security Forces and police force in order to respond to the various security threats.”

At the same time, China has taken note of the disagreement between the relevant parties over the ballot count in the second round. We welcome the positive role that the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has played in the auditing process. We also sincerely hope that the relevant actors in Afghanistan will put the fundamental interests of their country and people first, properly settle their differences through dialogue and consultation, complete the election process and form a new Government as soon as possible, and maintain national stability and unity.”

In recent years, thanks to the hard work of the people and the Government of Afghanistan, the peaceful reconstruction of Afghanistan has registered positive progress. But the country is also facing many challenges and risks. China hopes that a peaceful transition will be realized so that the Afghan people can focus their energy on development. Here I should like to emphasize the following points.”
