  2. “The Government of Nepal has never reneged on its commitment to prosecute cases involving grave violations of human rights and to end impunity through the establishment of transitional justice mechanisms. We are fully conscious of fulfilling our international obligations and national commitments, and we are enacting laws to establish transitional justice mechanisms. Our 2013 ordinance on the investigation of disappeared persons and on the truth and reconciliation commission is currently being examined by the Supreme Court, and is therefore sub judice. In conclusion, I want to reiterate that the international community has to play an important role in ending all forms of Violence against women, including sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict situations.”

Moreover, there is a sustained effort to review laws that discriminate against women. Nepal is the first South Asian country to develop a national plan of action on resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008). Increasing the participation of women in decision-making, protecting women and girls from sexual and gender-based violence and ending impunity are the topmost priorities set forth in our plan. We have a zero-tolerance policy against gender-based violence.”

Nepal is a State party to seven core international human rights instruments, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The independent judicial system and the National Human Rights Commission * a constitutional human rights watchdog body - are playing a prominent role in safeguarding the rights of the people. Nepal strongly believes that there can be no peace and security ifviolence against women and girls persists.”

  5. “After the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Accord in 2006, the Government ofNepal has traversed a long path towards empowering women. The interim Constitution of Nepal 2007 has ensured the maximum participation of women in decision-making positions in all walks of national life, from grassroots to national levels. Peace committees at the district level play a very important role in managing post-conflict issues, including one-third representation by women. Nepal is committed to increasing the number of women in the Nepal army and police and United Nations peacekeeping operations in order to make them more inclusive. Protecting and promoting the rights of the people and ensuring inclusive development is at the core of our efforts to build a peaceful and prosperous Nepal.”

  6. “My delegation wishes to express its sincere appreciation to you, Mr. President, for organizing this important debate. My delegation expresses its profound gratitude to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon; Ms. Zainab Hawa Bangura, Special Representative of the Secretary- General on Sexual Violence in Conflict; Ms. Angelina Jolie, Special Envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees; and Ms. Jane Adong Anywar for their remarks. Sexual and gender-based violence in situations of armed conflict not only affects the dignity and honour of the victims, but also leaves negative impacts on families, communities and societies. The report of the Secretary-General to the Security Council (S/2013/149) depicts the pervasiveness of sexual violence and its interconnection with the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  7. “Effective command and leadership in the field are critical, and in this context my delegation underscores that troop-contributing countries should be provided with opportunities in leadership positions commensurate with their contribution. The morale and dignity of peacekeepers must be kept high at all times through appropriate incentive structures. It is also important that claims in respect of death and disabilities be expeditiously cleared. Finally, the safety and security of United Nations peacekeepers must be given high attention. In conclusion, my delegation reiterates its profound commitment to United Nations peacekeeping and assures you, Sir, of its continued participation in United Nations peacekeeping missions for the sake of a secure and stable future for all.”

  8. “The strong provision of necessary resources and effective arrangements for enablers are key to rapid deployment, as well as to the enhancement of operational capacity. Peacekeepers should be given clear guidance and strong and clear-cut rules of engagement for the effective implementation of the tasks shared. It is essential to ensure the due accountability of all stakeholders to the mandate of the mission. A pragmatic training strategy is essential to conducting mission-oriented pre-deployment training for the troops, police, commanders and staff of all troop- and police-contributing countries and to ensuring quality service in the field.”

  9. “It has to stabilize the security situation, support the national political process and ensure economic regeneration. All three pillars need to be strengthened in a holistic manner from the very beginning. A framework for consultation with troop- contributing and police-contributing countries on the mandating process should be substantive, institutionalized and structured in terms of content and timing. The comprehensive and continuous involvement of troop-contributing and police-contributing countries in all stages ofUnited Nations peacekeeping is essential to make the operations effective and successful. Civilian capacity in diverse fields is in increasing demand in the new generation of peacekeeping operations. We should strengthen the capacity of the United Nations to respond to such demands with an inclusive approach shared by all.”

  10. “Based on the experiences gained along the evolving track of peacekeeping, from truce monitoring to peace enforcement and peacebuilding, and looking at the challenges ahead, my delegation emphasizes that the following key elements should receive proper attention if United Nations peacekeeping is to be a truly successful enterprise, without compromising the fundamental tenets of inter-State relationships. The Security Council must be guided by unity of purpose and mobilize its entire political capital, based on merit and principle, to ensure that a coherent strategic framework is in place to achieve the desired objectives, which must be explicitly articulated. Peacekeeping should be guided by an integrated three-pronged strategy.”

  11. “As one of the leaing troop-contributing countries, Nepal attaches great importance to United Nations peacekeeping, in line with its foreign policy objectives. Nepal's association with United Nations peacekeeping is consistent and long-standing. Since 1958, Nepal has continuously contributed peacekeepers for the maintenance of international peace and security under the aegis of the United Nations. Nepalese peacekeepers have served in the most challenging missions, and more than 60 Nepalese peacekeepers have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.”

  12. “Peacekeeping demands a multidimensional approach and multiple involvements of stakeholders in a coherent and coordinated manner. It also requires a broader, holistic strategy that synergizes peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts to address the interlinked issues of security and development in a comprehensive and holistic manner. It is therefore imperative to have close coordination between the General Assembly and the Security Council, and the meaningful engagement and involvement of the troop- and police-contributing countries for the success of any United Nations mission. Country leadership and ownership can play a crucial role in cultivating hope and fostering confidence among people in conflict-ridden places.”

  13. “Increased demand placed on the United Nations to respond to growing and diverse situations is testimony to the growing confidence reposed in the world body as a credible multilateral organization responsible for addressing the critical challenges to international peace and security. At present, peacekeeping operations have gone well beyond their traditional modes of operation. Supporting peace and security, providing security guarantees, including the protection of civilians, and political and peacebuilding support to assist countries' transition to peace have been the principal tasks assigned to peacekeeping missions. Many of the important tasks pertaining to peacebuilding and nation-building processes are directly linked with democracy, governance, human rights, the rule of law and development.”

  14. “At the outset, I would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, and your country, Pakistan, on presiding over the Security Council for the month of January. It is indeed a commendable initiative of your presidency of the Council to bring this subject matter to the fore. I should also like to thank the Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. Ban Ki-moon, for his insightful remarks. My delegation aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of the Arab Republic of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.
