“THE REMARKS BY HIS MAJESTY KING
ABDULLAH II AT THE UNITED NATIONS
The following is the full text of
the speech that the king made on Tuesday:
In
the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Mr.
President, Mr. Secretary General, Your Excellencies:
We
meet today, in this General Assembly, as the alarm bells ring all around us.
Numerous
crises batter our world; crises that are increasingly interlocked—regional
conflicts with international impact, devastating climate change, pandemic
disruptions, extremist violence, spiraling inflation, looming recession,
and—for all too many around the world—the growing reality of hunger.
Developing
countries have been hardest hit.
Is
this the future we will leave to the generations yet to come?
We
must deliver a different world—a world of expanded horizons, a more equitable
world, sustainable economic growth, exciting new opportunities, more and better
jobs, and the inclusive peace for prosperity, in which all people can thrive.
To
reach these goals, our countries must unite behind effective, collaborative
action. The question now is will we have the vision and determination to get
the job done?
Consider
the climate crisis. No country can heal our injured earth alone. We need global
partnerships that can create real change. And Jordan is part of these efforts.
We have been building strong partnerships to manage and sustain vital water
resources. And we see more opportunities to work with partners to preserve
precious world heritage sites and natural wonders—the unique Dead Sea, the
sacred Jordan River, and the resilient coral reefs of the Gulf of Aqaba—which
are all threatened by climate change.
Food
security is another global priority. Hundreds of millions of people go to bed
hungry, and the numbers are rising. How can parents raise healthy children? How
can students learn? How can workers do their best, when they are hungry and
hopeless?
Since
the beginning of the pandemic, and now with the crisis in Ukraine, global
supply chains have been disrupted. Many well-off countries experienced empty
food shelves for the first time in living memory. They are discovering a truth
that people in developing countries have known for a long time—for countries to
thrive, affordable food must get to every family’s table. On a global level,
this demands collective measures to ensure fair access to affordable food, and
speed the movement of staples to countries in need.
My
friends,
Sustainable,
inclusive economic growth has too often been a victim of global crises, but it
can also be a defense that strengthens us to endure the storms. In my region,
we are looking to build integrated partnerships that tap the capabilities and
resources of each of our countries for the benefit of all.
We
see ‘regional resilience packs’ coming together to stimulate fresh
opportunities and growth. Jordan has established multilateral partnerships with
Egypt, Iraq, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and others in the region to
capitalize on these opportunities. Our country is a bridge for regional
partnerships and cooperation, international crisis response, and humanitarian
action.
Jordan
has always been a source of regional stability, as well as a refuge for those
in need. In this context, let me say a word about refugees and the communities
which host them. In 2012, I came before the 67th General Assembly, and spoke
for the first time about the Syrian refugee flow and its pressure on Jordan’s
scarce resources. At that point, 200,000 Syrians had sought refuge in our small
country. Today, 10 years later, we host more than 1.3 million.
Meeting
the needs of these and other refugees is an international responsibility, and
host countries look to the international community to honor its commitments.
My
friends,
For
decades, the Middle East has been synonymous with conflict and crisis.
But
we are hopeful that a new-found spirit of collaboration can make our region an
exemplar of resilience and integration.
Though
politics may sometimes fail our world, one absolute remains—always put people
first. To keep hope alive for all peoples means rising above politics to ensure
every individual’s prosperity. Such efforts will be fruitless if they are
exclusionary.
Inclusion
of the Palestinian people in regional economic projects should be an integral
part of our efforts.
In
the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, peace continues to be elusive.
Neither
war nor diplomacy has held the answer to this historic tragedy.
It
is the people themselves, not politics and politicians, who will have to come
together and push their leaders to resolve this.
What
would our world look like now if the conflict had been settled long ago? If
walls had never gone up, and people had been allowed to build bridges of
cooperation instead? What if extremists had never been able to exploit the
injustices of occupation? How many generations of youth could have grown up in
the optimism of peace and progress?
As
we continue our efforts to achieve peace, we must not abandon refugees. This
year, the General Assembly will vote on renewing UNRWA’s mandate. The
international community should send a strong message of support for the rights
of Palestinian refugees, ensuring that Palestinian refugee children have
schools to go to, and access to appropriate medical care.
My
dear friends,
A
founding U.N. principle is the right to self-determination for all peoples.
The
Palestinian people, with their resilient national identity, cannot be denied
this right.
And
the road forward is the two-state solution, in accordance with U.N.
resolutions—a sovereign, viable, and independent Palestinian state, on the 4th
of June 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side-by-side
with Israel in peace, security, and prosperity.
Today,
the future of Jerusalem is an urgent concern.
The
city is holy to billions of Muslims, Christians, and Jews around the world.
Undermining Jerusalem’s legal and historical status quo triggers global
tensions and deepens religious divides.
The
Holy City must not be a place for hatred and division.
As
Custodians of Jerusalem’s Muslim and Christian Holy Sites, we are committed to
protecting their historical and legal status quo and to their safety and
future. And as a Muslim leader, let me say clearly that we are committed to
defending the rights, the precious heritage, and the historic identity of the
Christian people of our region. Nowhere is that more important than in
Jerusalem.
Today,
Christianity in the Holy City is under fire.
The
rights of churches in Jerusalem are threatened.
This
cannot continue.
Christianity
is vital to the past and present of our region and the Holy Land.
It
must remain an integral part of our future.
Distinguished
Delegates,
We
can weather the most serious crises if we join together.
Do
let us, here in this General Assembly, honor our shared interest in a brighter
future, a future of dignity and hope that brings new opportunities for all our
peoples.
And
let us not ignore the alarm bells ringing around us.
We
must act.
Thank
you.”
