2. “Secondly, the Council should deepen discussions on the rule of law, human security, the protection of human rights and conflict prevention. The Council should reflect the outcomes of those discussions in the mandates of peace operations. Thirdly, the Council should enhance its interactions with other actors. In that regard, Japan highly appreciates the Peacebuilding Commission’s (PBC’s) comprehensive advice for today’s meeting. By fully utilizing the PBC’s advice, the Council will strengthen the functioning of the whole United Nations. The process to develop a New Agenda for Peace is now under way. This is a historic opportunity to enhance our collective capacity to achieve and sustain peace.”

3. “To achieve resilient peace, a wide range of actors, especially women and youth, must be able to actively participate and be agents of change in their own societies. This participation can only take place when people feel secure. The rule of law must be upheld, human rights protected and issues resolved through dialogue. Institution- and capacity-building, especially through education, are key. Japan has been working to realize human security by investing in people. The Security Council should serve as a role model for the international community. Let me emphasize three points. First, the Council should oversee the implementation of its resolutions and work towards mainstreaming the women, peace and security and youth, peace and security agendas.”

4. “I would like to begin by congratulating you, Mr. President, on Switzerland’s assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the first time in your country’s history. Sir, Japan highly commends your initiative on this forward- looking topic. I would also like to thank briefers for their insightful briefings. Today trust in the multilateral system and the United Nations is being tested. Conflict and terrorism remain a threat and are exacerbated by emerging risk multipliers. What we need to ask now is whether the United Nations, especially the Security Council, has the strong will and capacity to effectively respond to these challenges. Sustaining peace requires persistent effort.”
