Dujarric: Jordan is an 'oasis of stability' and the international community must support it

UN Spokesperson: Jordan balances humanitarian aspect with national security and sovereignty

UN Spokesperson: Every country's responsibility is to protect the security of its citizens... and Jordan does so

Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, said that there is an alignment between the vision of the UN Secretary-General and Jordan on the importance of stability, noting that Jordan is an 'oasis of stability in a region losing stability'.

Dujarric added that the international community should appreciate 'the generosity of Jordan and the Jordanian people' in receiving refugees and those who have sought refuge in the Kingdom due to conflicts, emphasizing the need to support Jordan.

He explained that Jordan is working on several fronts, including providing humanitarian support to refugees and those affected by wars, while balancing this with national security, government, and sovereignty, stressing the importance of maintaining this balance and protecting the security of Jordanians.

Dujarric said that the UN is 'not a government for the world', and that every country's responsibility is to maintain the security and safety of its citizens, considering that Jordan's openness and generosity should be accompanied by the protection and guarantee of the security of Jordanians.

Speaking about the speeches of world leaders during the UN General Assembly meetings, Dujarric said that one of the key messages presented by the UN Secretary-General was the commitment to international law, and that the use of force must always be within the framework of international law.

He pointed out that this week is a week of 'intensive diplomacy', with many behind-the-scenes moves, emphasizing that there should always be room for diplomacy, and that the Secretary-General was clear in calling for de-escalation.

Dujarric touched on the regional situation, noting that there is a pending issue in the Security Council, and that five permanent members of the Council can block or reject resolutions, considering this a matter of great importance to the Secretary-General.

He also noted that countries in the region have suffered greatly from the repercussions of conflicts, and that their economic effects touch everyone, explaining that there are ongoing talks about a mechanism that would allow ships to enter and exit the Gulf, but it requires commitment and agreement from the parties.

Regarding artificial intelligence, Dujarric warned of the growing power imposed by this technology, pointing to concerns about job losses, and called on governments to establish controls and mechanisms to regulate its use, especially as companies and individuals possess significant power without necessarily having clear accountability or responsibility.

On the issue of climate change, Dujarric said that the use of renewable energy sources is growing significantly, noting that the situations in the Straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb affect the flow of oil and fossil fuels, while 'the wind cannot be stopped' or 'the sun can be blocked', considering that renewable energy allows for greater independence in securing energy needs.
