[00:00:12] education a strategic investment President,
[00:00:16] representative of the United between internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and communities, there are

[00:01:00] We are moving towards supporting returnees

[00:01:06] and stability. transitional phase. We should not ignore families and individuals who are
[00:01:09] still vulnerable and are in need of support.
[00:01:12] Additionally, winter exacerbates
[00:01:16] the situation of many internally displaced persons
[00:01:19] and returnees. Displacement sites
[00:01:22] government has achieved some are exposed to harsh
[00:01:25] weather conditions.
[00:01:27] organization, an organization we established Camps lack heating.
[00:01:30] This puts the health of children
[00:01:32] at risk. With the onset of winter,
[00:01:35] which affirms the right to the United
[00:01:37] education and its contribution Nations and humanitarian partners have completed
[00:01:41] students who have missed years a winter plan rural areas, and to protect the most
[00:01:45] of the few investments vulnerable groups. Without adequate funding, all these individuals
[00:01:49] will face a winter without life-saving
[00:01:52] support.
[00:01:56] Madam President, landmines and explosive
[00:02:00] remnants impede
[00:02:03] Council members who wish return and recovery. Since the Council last met
[00:02:06] on Syria, at least
[00:02:10] 14
[00:02:13] 8,000 schools are what Syrian students can people have died and 41
[00:02:15] Therefore, they are part of were injured in incidents involving explosive

[00:02:30] contributing to the deaths of hundreds of thousands incidents
[00:02:32] of people and forcing millions occurred in return
[00:02:35] during the high-level areas and in agricultural lands
[00:02:38] and the reality is simple.
[00:02:41] Syrian Democratic Forces Families return
[00:02:43] Iran's malign influence to their homes,
[00:02:44] that every child is able exposed to the risk of death
[00:02:48] it erase Syria's history, and injury. Farmers cannot safely work their land.
[00:02:51] Children cannot safely go to school,
[00:02:55] and communities cannot rebuild.
[00:02:59] Demining
[00:03:02] is not just a safety measure, but a prerequisite for rebuilding
[00:03:05] Syria's future.
[00:03:07] participated in a number of matters in Madam
[00:03:08] of 36 President, emergency
[00:03:10] aid alone is not enough. We also need to invest
[00:03:14] in lasting solutions. As mentioned
[00:03:17] during the high-level week
[00:03:22] of conflict. and the high-level event on Syria,
[00:03:25] in Syria. We expect the Syrian hosted by the Permanent Mission of Syria,
[00:03:28] the "No Camps" initiative
[00:03:30] means not just closing
[00:03:33] camps, but eliminating the need for camps
[00:03:37] by providing conditions that allow people to return
[00:03:40] effectively
[00:03:43] recorded any deterioration in and sustainably. Families
[00:03:48] bad news does not to rebuild after years need safe homes, of conflict. Education schools, hospitals, job opportunities, livelihoods, protection services,
[00:03:51] a positive trend. and demining. More importantly,
[00:03:53] access to schools and essential services partners in the humanitarian, development, and financial sectors should work
[00:03:59] There are many together with the government to meet these basic needs and to meet
[00:04:07] We must also invest and marginalization from humanitarian needs as much as possible. The goal is not
[00:04:11] Damascus who recognizes institutions, quality Children who have lost years just to help families return, but to help them stay
[00:04:13] the threat of ISIS and is willing to work with and rebuild their lives. Madam President, the humanitarian
[00:04:16] response plan for 2026
[00:04:18] is funded by only
[00:04:21] to keep their children 32%.
[00:04:23] It is not surprising that this
[00:04:26] affects humanitarian work and support.
[00:04:31] Despite severe underfunding, humanitarian organizations continue
[00:04:34] to deliver across Syria.
[00:04:38] people. I saw children Since the beginning
[00:04:40] And in this of the year,
[00:04:41] Despite overwhelming approximately 2.4 million
[00:04:43] or forced to leave the country. people have received emergency assistance
[00:04:48] supports recovery, and contributes every month, including the Syrian financial system food, medicine,
[00:04:53] still suffers from severe academic capabilities clean water, children in the Azraq protection services, food, and emergency shelter. Syrian organizations
[00:04:56] are at the heart of these efforts,
[00:04:59] accounting for 60% of partners
[00:05:01] on the ground. The opportunity in Syria
[00:05:04] is real, but without
[00:05:07] investment, we may miss this opportunity.
[00:05:10] Madam President,
[00:05:14] my requests are clear. Firstly,
[00:05:18] sustainable humanitarian funding and support
[00:05:22] for the most vulnerable. Millions still rely
[00:05:26] on life-saving aid, and winter is
[00:05:29] fast approaching. Secondly, we should
[00:05:32] invest in the Syrian people and lasting solutions,
[00:05:36] including the "No Camps" and "No Mines" initiatives
[00:05:39] launched by the government.
[00:05:43] We must invest in basic services and the necessary conditions
[00:05:46] for sustainable return, and we must invest in
[00:05:49] an economy that provides Syrians with a stable
[00:05:53] future. Finally, we must protect
[00:05:56] Syria from renewed instability
[00:05:59] the progress already made. The Syrian people
[00:06:02] deserve a chance to survive, but also
[00:06:05] to rebuild and prosper. We must not
[00:06:34] the founder of the Syrian Youth Empowerment
[00:06:39] in 2016 by students in the United
[00:06:44] States. We founded this organization on a
[00:06:47] simple belief: education is a personal opportunity,
[00:06:51] but it is also a pillar of a peaceful, prosperous,
[00:06:55] and self-reliant Syria. We have helped
[00:06:57] more than 400 Syrian students access
[00:07:01] higher education. We have also contributed to raising more than
[00:07:05] 90 million dollars in scholarships at leading universities
[00:07:07] in 12 countries, including Harvard.
[00:07:11] These students are not
[00:07:16] just scholarship recipients; they are
[00:07:18] doctors, engineers,
[00:07:21] teachers, researchers,
[00:07:23] and future leaders.
[00:07:27] the generation that will help rebuild Syria. For more than
[00:07:31] 14 years, the Syrian people have suffered from war,
[00:07:34] displacement, destruction, and great losses. The Assad regime
[00:07:38] destroyed communities and the education infrastructure,
[00:07:45] of Syrians to seek refuge in countries
[00:07:48] around the world, like me. But this did not destroy
[00:07:52] the resilience of the Syrian people, nor did it destroy
[00:07:55] our commitment to education, nor did
[00:08:11] And I can tell you that the country
[00:08:14] has excellent energy. People
[00:08:18] want to pursue opportunities, growth, economic
[00:08:21] development, and, most importantly, the opportunity to rebuild
[00:08:24] our country. We are also working
[00:08:26] to renew the meaning of Syrian identity,
[00:08:30] a shared identity based on dignity, responsibility,
[00:08:33] creativity, and hope. This moment represents a historic
[00:08:36] moment, but the challenges remain enormous. After more than
[00:08:40] 14 years of war, approximately
[00:08:43] 2.7 million Syrian children
[00:08:47] have dropped out of school, and approximately 8,000
[00:08:50] schools are not operating. Many schools are overcrowded
[00:08:53] and lack sanitation and water services, or are used
[00:08:57] as shelters for displaced families. Consequently,
[00:09:01] millions of children are growing up without consistent
[00:09:04] access to safe, high-quality education. Every year
[00:09:08] they drop out of school, the risks of
[00:09:11] child labor, early marriage, exploitation, recruitment,
[00:09:16] education increase.
[00:09:20] of education need more than just a school building.
[00:09:23] They need accelerated education, psychosocial
[00:09:27] support, trained teachers, safe transportation,
[00:09:30] educational materials, and a realistic path back into the education
[00:09:34] system. Even universities
[00:09:36] have been affected.
[00:09:39] Insecurity and checkpoints have made
[00:09:43] traveling to universities for students
[00:09:47] and staff dangerous. A large number of
[00:09:50] academics and students have been displaced
[00:09:55] The losses in electricity,
[00:09:58] equipment, laboratories, and offices have limited
[00:10:03] and increased economic difficulties, making
[00:10:06] it difficult to return to universities.
[00:10:10] Many Syrian youth have been unable
[00:10:14] to complete their university degrees.
[00:10:17] Therefore, protecting and rebuilding
[00:10:19] universities is an educational priority and a necessity
[00:10:23] for reconstruction.
[00:10:26] Public, economic, scientific, legal, engineering, and health
[00:10:29] service institutions in Syria face major challenges, but
[00:10:33] now more than ever, it is time to invest
[00:10:36] in the Syrian education system. The Syrian people are ready,
[00:10:40] the youth are ready, communities are ready.
[00:10:43] Government institutions are working with civil society organizations and international
[00:10:47] partners to respond to urgent needs and plan
[00:10:51] for recovery. What Syria needs now is partnership,
[00:10:54] consistent and transparent
[00:10:57] focus on long-term capabilities, not
[00:11:00] just emergency situations. I urge member states,
[00:11:03] international financial institutions, universities, charitable organizations,
[00:11:07] and the private sector to support five priorities:
[00:11:11] Firstly, invest in repairing and reopening schools, universities,
[00:11:14] laboratories, libraries, student shelters,
[00:11:18] water and electricity systems, and digital infrastructure.
[00:11:22] Secondly, support teachers, professors, administrators,
[00:11:25] and researchers with training, fair compensation, psychosocial
[00:11:29] support, and opportunities to reconnect
[00:11:32] with the global academic community. Thirdly, expand
[00:11:36] scholarships, fellowships, distance learning, and
[00:11:39] degree completion programs. Fourthly, recognize the skills
[00:11:43] and qualifications of Syrians who studied during
[00:11:46] displacement and create pathways for refugees and community
[00:11:49] members who wish to return and contribute.
[00:11:52] Fifthly, ensure
[00:11:56] that education recovery is inclusive, meaning ensuring the participation
[00:11:59] of girls, children with disabilities, displaced people,
[00:12:06] of schooling. Education is one
[00:12:10] that strengthens every sector simultaneously. Education
[00:12:14] improves health outcomes, provides job opportunities,
[00:12:17] supports accountable institutions, promotes social cohesion, and gives
[00:12:20] young people a reason to return and build their future
[00:12:23] in their homeland. Syria can serve as an example
[00:12:27] of how to rebuild society after war, not by
[00:12:30] forgetting wounds, but by transforming them into a commitment
[00:12:34] to opportunity, dignity, and peace. I have seen
[00:12:37] achieve when given access and support.
[00:12:40] This potential
[00:12:44] The international community should not
[00:12:47] completely rebuilt before investing in the Syrian people. Investing in education
[00:12:52] rebuilding. I urge
[00:12:55] you to invest in Syria and support its growth
[00:12:58] and stand by it to rebuild its educational
[00:13:02] infrastructure and human capabilities. The Syrian people have preserved
[00:13:05] their will to learn, create, and rebuild.
[00:13:09] With effective partnerships, we can help build
[00:13:43] and I am the Regional Director for Plan International,
[00:13:47] a humanitarian and development organization working in 80 countries, including
[00:13:50] Syria. Today, I would like to draw the Council's attention to education
[00:13:54] in Syria. What is truly important for children
[00:13:57] at this critical juncture in the country's future
[00:14:01] is that Syria stands at a critical stage
[00:14:04] of transition, as families begin to return
[00:14:07] and communities seek
[00:14:11] must be recognized as essential infrastructure
[00:14:15] for recovery.
[00:14:18] The choices we make now
[00:14:20] will determine whether
[00:14:23] a generation, whether a generation of Syrian
[00:14:26] children can rebuild
[00:14:30] their lives, or whether years of lost
[00:14:33] education will deepen inequality, vulnerability,
[00:14:36] and instability. During my recent visit to Syria,
[00:14:40] I met with families who are doing their utmost
[00:14:46] in school, even if it means sending them
[00:14:49] to schools damaged by war
[00:14:52] with limited
[00:14:55] and inadequate resources. But what surprised me was not
[00:14:58] the destruction, but the determination of the Syrian
[00:15:03] sitting on the ground under the scorching sun,
[00:15:06] singing school songs, full of hope
[00:15:10] and resilience. I witnessed the same determination
[00:15:14] among Syrian refugee
[00:15:17] camp in Jordan. They dreamed of
[00:15:19] returning home, but they feared
[00:15:23] that their education would be disrupted or that they would be unable
[00:15:27] to return to school. I also met with Syrian
[00:15:30] officials who developed a national youth strategy
[00:15:33] that recognizes a simple and fundamental truth:
[00:15:37] education must go beyond the classroom
[00:15:40] and school to equip youth with the skills,
[00:15:43] abilities, and opportunities necessary to contribute
[00:15:46] to their country's future.
[00:15:49] These experiences reinforced one clear message:
[00:15:53] education must be at the
[00:15:56] center of Syria's recovery, return, and
[00:15:59] peacebuilding plan. This is especially urgent
[00:16:05] displaced people and Syrian refugees
[00:16:08] have returned to communities where education services are
[00:16:11] already under immense pressure.
[00:16:16] are more likely to return
[00:16:19] and stay when children have access to education.
[00:16:22] For many, the existence of functioning schools,
[00:16:26] qualified teachers,
[00:16:28] and pathways to return to formal education
[00:16:32] is an essential element in determining whether return
[00:16:35] is sustainable. Education is also
[00:16:38] one of the best investments in peace
[00:16:43] Communities are more resilient when children are learning
[00:16:46] and are not exposed to child labor,
[00:16:50] exploitation, recruitment, or early marriage.
[00:16:53] Education builds social cohesion,
[00:16:55] enhances resilience, and lays the foundations
[00:16:59] for long-term recovery and development. For
[00:17:02] this reason, the Council should act
[00:17:06] in accordance with its commitment under Resolution
[00:17:09] 2601,
[00:17:14] to sustainable peace and security.
[00:17:17] By ensuring safe and equitable access
[00:17:21] to education as part of its engagement
[00:17:23] on Syria, we must place
[00:17:27] the most vulnerable children at the heart
[00:17:30] of this response, especially girls,
[00:17:33] displaced persons, returnees, children with disabilities,
[00:17:36] and those who have lost years of education due
[00:17:39] to the conflict.
[00:17:42] Today, approximately 2.7 million
[00:17:46] children have dropped out of school, while
[00:17:50] not operating or need urgent rehabilitation.
[00:17:53] Millions are out of school due to
[00:17:57] protection concerns, administrative barriers, or inability
[00:18:00] to afford schools.
[00:18:03] Returning children often face additional
[00:18:06] barriers with identity
[00:18:09] documents, recognition of prior learning, differing
[00:18:13] curricula, and long periods outside of formal education.
[00:18:16] We must remove these barriers and ensure
[00:18:21] to learn safely and with dignity.
[00:18:24] This should be our collective priority.
[00:18:28] We must also invest
[00:18:31] in an inclusive, safe,
[00:18:35] and peaceful learning environment. Schools are not just
[00:18:39] for learning; they are places
[00:18:41] that provide protection, recovery, and hope.
[00:18:45] During my visit to the Damascus countryside, I saw firsthand
[00:18:48] how schools provide psychosocial support, life skills,
[00:18:52] and a sense of normal life
[00:18:55] for children recovering from years
[00:18:59] We must focus on
[00:19:02] preventing violence, discrimination,
[00:19:05] and marginalization and ensuring
[00:19:07] that children, especially girls,
[00:19:11] can continue their education without
[00:19:14] interruption. Safety must
[00:19:18] extend beyond the school gates.
[00:19:22] Contaminants from unexploded ordnance
[00:19:26] still threaten children's lives and prevent their safe
[00:19:31] in many communities.
[00:19:32] Rebuilding
[00:19:36] the education system in Syria will require
[00:19:39] more than just repairing schools.
[00:19:44] in teachers,
[00:19:47] education, and accelerated
[00:19:50] learning
[00:19:52] programs to catch up
[00:19:56] on what they have missed and flexible pathways
[00:19:59] for children whose education has been disrupted.
[00:20:02] Without these investments, an entire
[00:20:06] generation may fall behind, even if we rebuild
[00:20:09] school buildings. Syria's education
[00:20:13] system needs sustainable and predictable funding.
[00:20:18] evidence that education reduces protection risks,
[00:20:22] promotes social cohesion,
[00:20:25] to stability, the education sector
[00:20:30] underfunding.
[00:20:32] Currently,
[00:20:35] 16.5% of
[00:20:38] the humanitarian response
[00:20:41] plan and its education
[00:20:45] requirements have received $337 million
[00:20:48] in funding. However, in the context
[00:20:52] of Russia's recovery, $337 million
[00:20:54] is a modest investment with guaranteed transformative
[00:20:57] returns. The international community should consider
[00:21:02] in peace. The Council should also
[00:21:06] encourage sustainable support for integrated programs that
[00:21:09] link education with child protection, mental
[00:21:12] health, psychosocial support, livelihoods,
[00:21:15] and community recovery. It should also
[00:21:18] encourage
[00:21:21] local and national educational capabilities
[00:21:24] to enhance
[00:21:27] the recovery of the entire system.
[00:21:30] The success of Syria's recovery will be measured
[00:21:34] by the opportunities available to children
[00:21:37] and youth. Sustainable peace depends on whether
[00:21:41] to access quality education and develop the necessary skills
[00:21:44] for their future, and whether they are
[00:21:48] able to play a role
[00:21:51] in rebuilding their society. My message to
[00:21:54] the Council is a call to action.
[00:21:58] Education is essential for peacebuilding, protection,
[00:22:01] and ensuring stability as Syria
[00:22:04] rebuilds. Education must be linked
[00:22:08] to skill development, youth leadership, psychosocial
[00:22:12] well-being, sports, and pathways
[00:22:15] to decent work. Education must be accessible
[00:22:18] to children wherever they
[00:22:20] are on their journey, whether they are displaced,
[00:22:24] returning home, or rebuilding
[00:22:27] their lives in communities affected by years of conflict.
[00:22:30] Investing in children and youth today
[00:22:34] is one of the most effective measures
[00:22:37] the international community can take to ensure
[00:22:40] Syria's long-term stability,
[00:23:07] the progress the Syrian government continues to make
[00:23:11] regarding humanitarian and political priorities.
[00:23:14] We welcome
[00:23:18] the return of President Bashar al-Assad
[00:23:21] and the Syrian delegation
[00:23:25] week last month at the General Assembly.
[00:23:28] We discussed issues including preventing
[00:23:33] in the region. Justice and accountability
[00:23:36] for missing Americans is an American priority,
[00:23:40] and the United States and Syria co-hosted
[00:23:44] an event to highlight the voices of the families
[00:23:47] of the missing and their need for answers and accountability.
[00:23:51] We were also pleased to participate
[00:23:54] in the return
[00:23:58] stolen Syrian artifacts to the Syrian people.
[00:24:02] We encourage member states to cooperate with Syria
[00:24:05] to prevent and monitor any trafficking in antiquities,
[00:24:08] not only to preserve Syria's heritage, but also
[00:24:12] to prevent terrorists and criminals from obtaining
[00:24:16] this source of funding.
[00:24:20] We were honored that, alongside Italy, we participated
[00:24:23] in co-hosting a meeting of the Global Coalition
[00:24:27] to Defeat ISIS, including
[00:24:30] the Syrian government. In this
[00:24:33] meeting, we discussed the end
[00:24:37] of Operation Inherent Resolve,
[00:24:41] which achieved its military objective in Iraq.
[00:24:44] ISIS no longer controls territory in Iraq
[00:24:48] and Syria, and we have dismantled its ranks
[00:24:51] in both countries.
[00:24:55] We celebrated this coalition and considered
[00:24:58] that we have a partner in
[00:25:03] the coalition to eliminate this threat. Lasting peace
[00:25:06] in Syria depends on the return of sovereign
[00:25:10] state institutions capable of protecting all
[00:25:13] communities so that they can all participate
[00:25:16] in their country's future. Last week, we welcomed
[00:25:20] the Syrian Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Central
[00:25:23] Bank in New York
[00:25:25] to discuss with representatives from the American financial
[00:25:29] sector the essential steps Syria has taken to reintegrate
[00:25:35] into the global economy. In Sweden, we reaffirmed
[00:25:38] our support for the three-way roadmap announced
[00:25:42] by the United States, Syria, and Jordan. We urge
[00:25:45] all parties to exercise restraint and continue
[00:25:49] to implement the roadmap towards accountability,
[00:25:52] security, reconciliation,
[00:25:55] and the safe return of displaced Syrians.
[00:25:58] We still encourage Israel and Syria
[00:26:01] to exercise restraint and seek
[00:26:05] The United States
[00:26:09] both countries to support dialogue and peaceful
[00:26:47] the situation in Syria. We listened with interest
[00:26:50] to the representatives of civil society.
[00:26:53] We emphasize that this contribution
[00:26:56] from civil society should provide information to the Security
[00:27:00] Council on issues related to international
[00:27:03] peace and security. Other issues should be discussed
[00:27:06] in
[00:27:08] the relevant UN
[00:27:10] frameworks. We note the
[00:27:14] efforts made by the Syrian government to overcome challenges
[00:27:18] during the transitional period. Over the past
[00:27:22] two years, the Syrian
[00:27:25] successes, but the overall situation in the country remains
[00:27:28] difficult. Nevertheless,
[00:27:31] the intensive efforts to combat terrorism,
[00:27:35] strengthen the capabilities of state institutions,
[00:27:37] and restore
[00:27:39] the economy after years of war,
[00:27:43] along with
[00:27:52] We believe it is important
[00:27:55] that during the state-building process launched
[00:27:59] by the Syrian leadership, the interests of all
[00:28:02] sectarian, religious, and ethnic groups
[00:28:06] in Syrian society be taken into account. We support
[00:28:09] the authorities' commitment to protect the rights of all citizens without
[00:28:13] exception, whether they are residents of Sweida or
[00:28:16] residents of the Euphrates Shield region. We are closely
[00:28:19] following the process of reintegrating northeastern
[00:28:23] Syria, including the Syrian internal consultations in
[00:28:27] October on some aspects of the work of law
[00:28:30] enforcement agencies and the judiciary,
[00:28:33] as well as in the field of education.
[00:28:36] We expect that the good-faith implementation of the agreement
[00:28:40] between Damascus and the former
[00:28:43] will lead to long-term stability in the Euphrates
[00:28:47] Shield region and prevent clashes between
[00:28:50] We are monitoring these developments with concern in Al-Hasakah Governorate
[00:28:54] since the end of September.
[00:28:57] And what deserves great support is the campaign to combat terrorism
[00:29:01] that is being carried out by We note the recent operation
[00:29:04] to arrest one of ISIS leaders in the Damascus region who
[00:29:10] the bloody terrorist attack last year in
[00:29:12] Homs and the discovery of new terrorist cells.
[00:29:16] And in general, the sad statistics
[00:29:19] of the attacks they carried out confirm that
[00:29:22] ISIS militants still retain significant combat capabilities
[00:29:27] authorities to continue to take decisive steps
[00:29:31] to eradicate terrorism on the ground, including foreign
[00:29:35] terrorist fighters. Madam
[00:29:36] President,
[00:29:39] since the last meeting of the Security Council on Syria, UN
[00:29:42] experts have not
[00:29:46] the humanitarian situation in that country. However, the absence of
[00:29:50] mean there is
[00:29:53] Syria still needs assistance to restore
[00:29:57] key social and economic sectors.
[00:30:01] efforts that must be made to enable people to
[00:30:05] return to a truly peaceful life. And we believe that the experiences
[00:30:09] and projects of the relevant United Nations agencies
[00:30:12] and specialized agencies will succeed here as well.
[00:30:16] We are cautiously optimistic about the return
[00:30:19] of Syrians to their places of residence.
[00:30:23] This process requires the restoration of infrastructure
[00:30:26] and housing, and this is not an easy task for a country
[00:30:30] that has been under illegal
[00:30:33] burdens for years and has not even been able to import
[00:30:36] construction equipment. We know that the situation cannot
[00:30:40] be fixed overnight.
[00:30:43] regard, the priority should remain
[00:30:46] a stable and predictable transition from humanitarian aid to development
[00:30:50] aid, and this is something we have
[00:30:54] been calling for for a long time. We hope
[00:30:57] that the initiative "no camps and no
