The report covers the period from 1 August 2012 through 31 July 2013. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">\/&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">The Council also made great efforts to promote peace and stability in the Middle East.

The Republic of Korea supports a two-State solution, which envisages both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples living side by side in peace and security. We hope that the two sides remain firmly committed and reach an agreement within the agreed time frame. <\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:20px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\/&#8230;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:20px;\">\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Mr. Masood Khan <\/strong>(Pakistan): &#8230;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;margin-left:20px;\">\n\t\t\t\t\/&#8230;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#212100;text-align:justify;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">On the Palestinian issue, the Council plays a peripheral but very significant role. The Council, through its debates, keeps the spotlight on the Middle East.
