  1. “My delegation concurs with the point made by the Secretary-General on page 3 of his report that "[t]he time has come to translate the rhetoric of conflict prevention into concrete action It is axiomatic that effective preventive action will require sustained political will and a long-term commitment of resources by Member States and the United Nations system as a whole if a genuine culture of prevention is to take root in the international community." What is pertinent now is for the Council to act on these important ideas and proposals, lest it be accused of continued inaction on this important subject. Let us all hope that this latest report of Secretary-General as contained in document S/200l/574 will mark a beginning in that direction.”

  2. “We also support the Secretary- General's recommendation to set up expert working groups of the Council to monitor volatile situations and consider options to prevent the outbreak of violence. My delegation also agrees with the recommendation to expand the use of the Arria formula or other similar arrangements for informal discussions and exchanges of views outside or inside this Chamber. These arrangements have been used before.”

  3. “To a certain extent, Member States with the capability to do so can assist the Secretariat through regular sharing of vital information pertaining to threats to peace and security; but this is, at best supplementary in nature and cannot replace the Secretariat's own independent means of information-gathering and analysis. The activities just mentioned can be further expanded by the use of the Council's fact-finding missions. These missions, which vary in their purpose and objective, can indeed have important preventive effects. My delegation welcomes the suggestion made by the Secretary-General that these fact-finding missions could be further enhanced through multidisciplinary expert support so that all substantive areas could be incorporated into a comprehensive prevention strategy.”

  4. “My delegation welcomes the Secretary-General's intention to initiate a practice of providing periodic regional or subregional reports to the Security Council on threats to international peace and security. It is my delegation's earnest hope that in coming up with such periodic reports, the Secretary-General will continue to further consult the relevant regional or subregional groups that would be in the best position to provide the necessary information. We also believe that the Council will continue to benefit tremendously from timely and in-depth briefings by the Secretariat on potential conflict situations brought to the attention of the Council by the Secretary-General.”

  5. “It is a matter of deep regret to my delegation that earlier initiatives by the non-aligned members of the Council to prevent further conflict through the establishment of a United Nations monitoring force were not successful, resulting in an increasing number of deaths and injuries, mostly on the Palestinian side. We cannot turn a blind eye to instances of foreign occupation and the effect that such occupation has on regional and international peace and security. We strongly believe that the presence of a United Nations or international force to monitor the situation on the ground would have been a tangible manifestation of this Council's concern for conflict prevention. Malaysia once again urges the Council to give serious consideration to the establishment and dispatch of such a force.”

  6. “In any meaningful discussion by this Council on the prevention of conflict, one cannot but also address the issue of the Middle East, especially the Palestinian question and the occupied territories, including Jerusalem. The plight of civilians caught in conflict in the area, particularly the Palestinian civilians, is pertinent to our discussion today. We are all aware that the conflict is the most protracted one since the establishment of this Organization, and the situation there demands an international presence, namely, the United Nations.”

  7. “Malaysia supports the efforts that the United Nations, regional, subregional and other international organizations have undertaken to make conflict prevention a priority. We are pleased to note that the Secretary-General continues to pursue these noble efforts alongside these organizations to further enhance a comprehensive approach by drawing on regional preventive strategies. Better coordination with these groups will only strengthen the capabilities of the United Nations, including the Security Council. More frequent contacts between the Council and the leaders of the regional and subregional organizations would provide useful opportunities to exchange information and examine situations in which preventive action might be deemed necessary and the involvement of the Security Council desirable.”

  8. “My delegation's statement will be relatively brief, since we have addressed the issue in a substantive manner on previous occasions before the Council. My delegation agrees on the need for the United Nations to embark on preventive diplomacy and preventive action as a far better and more cost-effective approach, financially as well as in human terms, than mounting any operation or activity after a conflict has erupted. We also agree on the need for greater coordination and cooperation on the part of the entire United Nations system in the area of conflict prevention, including ways of enhancing its interaction and, particularly in respect of the mobilization of resources, in developing long-term conflict-prevention and peace-building strategies.”

  9. “At the outset, allow me to express my delegation's appreciation to you, Sir, and to the delegation of Bangladesh for convening this open meeting of the Security Council to revisit this very important subject of the prevention of armed conflict, which the Council deliberated in the month of July last year I should also like to commend the Secretary- General for his important report, which reviews the progress that has been achieved in developing the conflict-prevention capacity of the Organization. The report also contains specific recommendations on how the efforts of the United Nations system in this field could be further enhanced, which my delegation particularly welcomes. Much has been said, not only today, on this particular subject.”
