1. “The majority of the national and regional conflicts on the agenda of the Security Council are accompanied by serious refugee problems, and the majority of United Nations peacekeeping missions are mandated with the tasks of protecting civilians and safeguarding humanitarian assistance. The Council must further enhance its coordination and collaboration between the areas of conflict mediation and peacekeeping, on the one hand, and refugee protection and humanitarian assistance, on the other, to ensure that peacekeeping operations create an environment conducive to the repatriation and social reintegration of refugees with a View to facilitating a lasting solution to the problem of refugees and IDPs.”

2. “Armed conflict, political turmoil, economic stagnation, poverty and underdevelopment remain the main causes of the intractability and aggravation of the refugee problem. In addition, factors such as the security environment, mixed flows and environmental degradation have made it more difficult to protect refugees. In the current circumstances, the international community should continue to follow the principle of international solidarity and shared responsibility and should strengthen international cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit in order to fulfil our common responsibility for addressing the refugee issue. Ending regional conflicts and maintaining an environment of safety and security remain the fundamental ways to resolve the refugee problem.”

3. “Ms. Zhang Dan (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank the French presidency of the Security Council for convening this meeting and Mr. Antonio Guterres, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, for his briefing, which was highly beneficial to the work of the Council. Over the past year, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has made progress in the three areas of voluntary returns, local integration and resettlement, and China expresses its appreciation for that progress. At the same time, we have noted that the total number of refugees throughout the world has grown to 11.4 million and that the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) is also steadily increasing as a result of armed conflicts and natural disasters.”
