  1. “In recent years, the Council has adopted several additional resolutions also focused on the intersection of gender and conflict - namely, resolutions 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009) and 1889 (2009) - and the United Nations has issued a number of reports and studies on the issue. Now, the inclusion of a gender-based perspective is becoming commonplace in peacekeeping missions and their mandates, peacebuilding efforts, and United Nations country teams. In this regard, efforts to increase the number of women in missions' senior leadership and deployed as mission personnel are notable. However, recent events, such as the violations that took place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Guinea, starkly highlight the wide gap that remains between the noble aspirations and the level of protection some women receive on the ground.”

  2. “I would like to thank you, Sir, for convening this important meeting. I would also like to thank Under-Secretaries-General Michelle Bachelet and Alain Le Roy; Mr. Hamidon Ali, President of the Economic and Social Council; and Ms. Thelma Awori for their presentations, and to recognize the presence of many ministers and Government officials who have travelled great distances to this meeting. The statement made from afar by the Secretary-General is testament to his commitment to this issue. The Council's adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) 10 years ago was a watershed event in the protection of women and girls in conflict. The international community was and should remain proud of this accomplishment. The resolution helped to galvanize Member States' resolve to tackle this issue.”

  3. “While the situation in southern Lebanon remains complex, the presence of UNIFIL plays an indispensable role in promoting calm in the area, including along Israel's northern border. In conclusion, I wish to reiterate our support for today's resolution, and to emphasize our gratitude to the men and women of UNIFIL, who are performing a difficult task in a difficult environment in order to promote peace and security for all in the region. 3”

  4. “UNIFIL's investigation was shared with the parties last week, and the main finding of the report states that "the LAF [Lebanese Armed Forces] opening fire, which triggered the exchange, constitutes a serious violation of resolution 1701 (2006) and a flagrant breach of the cessation of hostilities. At the time of the initial LAF fire, the IDF troops were positioned on the Israeli side, south of the Blue Line". The parties plan to discuss the results of this investigation in their next tripartite meeting. However, Israel hopes that the Council will receive a full briefing on the matter in a timely manner. This type of incident must not happen again. Israel reiterates its call upon the LAF to respect the Blue Line in its entirety.”

  5. “During routine Israeli work south of the Blue Line - more than 90 metres within Israeli territory - Lebanese forces fired direct fire across the Blue Line, killing Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Dov Harari and critically wounding another senior company commander, both of whom were standing some 140 metres south of the Blue Line and 250 metres west of the location of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) works. The preliminary findings concerning this incident were discussed in the Secretary-General's letter to the Security Council regarding the renewal of UNIFIL's mandate (S/2010/430).”

  6. “In that 10-49885 regard, UNIFIL must remain vigilant and use the necessary and appropriate means to carry out the mandate that the Council has renewed today. While Israel welcomes the deployment of the Lebanese Army in southern Lebanon, its forces must act responsibly to ensure peace and stability. The Lebanese Armed Forces must clearly differentiate itself from radical elements that seek to undermine resolution 1701 (2006). In that regard, on 3 August we witnessed a grave incident.”

  7. “The reference to the embargo in today's resolution is certainly important and should be accompanied by concrete measures on the ground. Hizbullah's deadly rearmament endangers Lebanon itself and the wider Middle East as Hizbullah deploys those weapons and builds its military infrastructure throughout civilian villages of southern Lebanon, adjacent to schools, hospitals, houses of worship and residential buildings. Hence, more concerted efforts must be made in order to establish, in the words of paragraph 8 of today's resolution, "between the Blue Line and the Litani River an area free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those of the Government of Lebanon and UNIFIL". The freedom of movement of UNIFIL is increasingly impeded by Hizbullah operatives who use civilians to disrupt the work of peacekeepers.”

  8. “In fact, some of those challenges are highlighted in the resolution that the Council has just adopted. The most serious of these remains the military build-up of the Hizbullah terrorist organization. With Iranian and Syrian support through arms, training and financing - all of which are flagrant violations of resolution 1701 (2006) and of today's resolution - Hizbullah is building a deadly arsenal throughout Lebanon, including south of the Litani River and in the area of UNIFIL's operation. The incidents in Khirbat Silim, Tayr Filsi and Mazraat Sarda represent just the tip of the iceberg of this larger phenomenon. This military build-up is made possible by widespread weapons transfers to Lebanon, which violate the existing arms embargo. The arms embargo is a key issue addressed in resolution 1701 (2006).”

  9. “As we are meeting at the end of the month, please allow me, Mr. President, to commend you for your able stewardship of the Security Council this month. 10-49885 Israel welcomes the adoption of resolution 1937 (2010) and the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). I would like to convey Israel's appreciation to UNIFIL troops and their commanders, troop-contributing countries and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO). Israel remains committed to the full implementation of resolution 1701 (2006) and looks forward to cooperating with the Security Council, the Secretary-General, DPKO and UNIFIL in that regard. However, in Lebanon, serious challenges to peace and security threaten the full realization of resolution 1701 (2006).”
