“We aspire to further advance the protection of human rights, in conformity with the obligations of Member States, and we see honest discussion within the Human Rights Council on outstanding issues and the sharing of experiences on how to overcome them as the true path to success in this respect. We regard the prevention of genocide and the responsibility to protect as the key principles and cornerstones of the overall human security system. In this respect, we commend the report of the Secretary- General on implementing the responsibility to protect (A/63/677), which charts a course for the United Nations to prevent genocide, war crimes and ethnic cleansing by bolstering the capacities of the Organization. As is rightly stated in the report, genocide does not happen all of a sudden.”

“The General Assembly will continue to address this issue during its sixty-fourth session, and Armenia is ready to contribute to the preparatory process for a high-level meeting on this topic in September 2010. We have embarked on the process of United Nations reform in order to ensure that this forum can 13 09-52604 better reflect present-day realities and to enhance its capabilities and effectiveness in addressing modern challenges. Armenia commits itself to strengthening the institutional capacities of the United Nations, supports the process of United Nations reform and is ready to make its contribution.

“And we have to come together here, in this universal body, to take decisions that will help us overcome the past and build for the future, because there are still painful gaps separating the dreams of our people and their prospects. In accordance with their respective mandates, the United Nations funds, programmes and agencies have an important role to play in advancing development in accordance with national strategies and priorities, and in assisting countries in achieving the internationally agreed Millennium Development Goals. We understand that achieving these goals, the deadline for which is 2015, will require enormous efforts.”

“Many countries experienced unprecedented economic decline, which seriously challenged their hard-earned advances and prospects for attaining the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Armenia was not spared the dramatic effects of the ongoing financial crisis. However, the Armenian Government has done best to safeguard the socially vulnerable. No budget cuts have been made in the social sector. We believe that our endeavours must be guided first and foremost by the need to mitigate the human costs of the crisis in order to avoid serious consequences for human security. We believe that an equitable global recovery requires the full participation of all countries, irrespective of their size and level of development, in shaping appropriate responses to the crisis.”

“I should like to warmly congratulate Mr. Treki on his election as President of the General Assembly at its sixty-fourth session. We express our readiness to work with him to achieve the ambitious agenda ahead of us during this session. I should also like to extend our thanks to outgoing President Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann for his hard work during the previous session. Each new session of the General Assembly provides an opportunity for us to share our achievements and concerns with each other, and to join our efforts in moving the global agenda forward. We are going through a truly challenging period. In the past year, we were all devastated by the impact of the financial crisis. The crisis left no corner of the world and no economic sector untouched.”
