  1. “To that end, the Security Council has a central role to play and must, at all times, work in cooperation with the General Assembly. In that regard, relations must be strengthened with the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations tasked with dispute settlement. In that context, the Security Council must encourage the settlement of disputes, in particular legal ones, when other means, such as negotiation, mediation, conciliation, have not been effective. It is also crucial to prioritize preventive diplomacy, which Secretary- General Guterres fervently advocates to prevent the outbreak of major conflict.”

  2. “Article 24 of the Charter states that, in order to ensure prompt and effective action by the United Nations, its Members confer on the Security Council the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, and agree that the Council acts on their behalf in carrying out its duties under that responsibility. The Charter confers upon the Council responsibility for the maintenance of peace and security, and such responsibility must be fulfilled under international law, while respecting the principles set out therein. The most fundamental principle of the system we created is the promise to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State and to settle disputes by peaceful means.”

  3. “Mr. Amorín (Uruguay) (spoke in Spanish): First of all, I would like to thank Viet Nam, current President of the Security Council, for convening today’s timely debate to consider the role of the Charter of the United Nations in the maintenance of international peace and security. I would also like to thank Mrs. Robinson and the Secretary-General for their briefings. The Secretary-General, through his reform initiatives, works actively to achieve the objectives of the Charter. Nearly 75 years ago, the United Nations was established with the aim of achieving global peace and unity among States, which were to resolve their conflicts by peaceful means and through cooperation and friendly relations. The Charter entrusts the Security Council with the task of maintaining international peace and security.”

  4. “To conclude, 2020 will be a historic milestone for the women and peace and security agenda, with the celebration not only of the twentieth anniversary of resolution 1325 (2000), but also of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the fifth anniversary of the adoption of the 2030 Agenda and the seventy-fifth anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations. Next year will therefore have historical significance and impose on us the responsibility to step up efforts towards the effective implementation of commitments.”

  5. “The protection of human rights is inextricably linked to international peace and security. Violations of women's rights are not spontaneous but are an extension of other Violence that is covertly exercised within societies and is rooted in inequality and widespread discrimination against women in disregard of their fundamental rights. In that connection, Uruguay will be submitting its tenth periodic report to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and is renewing its commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which prioritizes gender equality. The 2030 Agenda - in particular Goal 5, on gender equality, and Goal 16, on peaceful and inclusive societies - has the potential to create the social, economic and political conditions to advance the women and peace and security agenda.”

  6. “The Network has the potential to generate the necessary political momentum to accelerate progress on issues related to women, peace and security. We see it as an instrument to promote cooperation on those issues and the exchange of experiences and good practices among all the States that have joined it. In preparation for our tenure as Chair, a regional workshop will be held in Montevideo in December to address issues related to the women and peace and security agenda in the Americas. Furthermore, Uruguay is supporting an initiative proposed by Spain and Finland that is aimed at ensuring the effective participation of women in peace processes by 2025. My country also pays particular attention to interconnections with the commitments made under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.”

  7. “Thanks to those efforts, the participation of Uruguayan women is higher than the average participation of women peacekeepers deployed under the United Nations flag. Uruguay plays a very active role in the implementation of the Action for Peacekeeping initiative, of which the women and peace and security agenda is a central component. Likewise, our country is part of the contact group for the Elsie Initiative for Women in Peace Operations and is involved in projects to identify barriers to deployment and provide capacity- building with the aim of increasing the participation of women. Among other actions taken at the multilateral level, Uruguay will co-chair the Women, Peace and Security Focal Points Network next year, which coincides with the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000).”

  8. “Our national action plan includes legislation that our country has adopted on human trafficking, sexual Violence and other human rights violations. The plan focuses on both the prevention and combating of such serious crimes and on the care, protection and reparation of victims. It also incorporates existing peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts as a basis for achieving new goals. We believe that the results obtained through the national action plan must be concrete and measurable, which is why it includes both quantitative and qualitative indicators. As a troop-contributing country, Uruguay has in recent years taken clear steps at the domestic level to achieve greater inclusion of women in the national armed forces, and particularly in peacekeeping operations.”

  9. “The information shows that, while tangible progress has been made on the women and peace and security agenda, there is still a long way to go before it is effectively and fully implemented. Resolution 2493 (2019), which the Council adopted this morning and which Uruguay co-sponsored, is an important step forward on that long road. I shall now cite the measures Uruguay is taking at the national and multilateral levels to promote the implementation of the agenda. Regarding domestic measures, I am pleased to inform the Council that my Government is ready to finalize its national action plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and other relevant resolutions. There is concrete evidence that national plans remain one of the main tools for accelerating the implementation of the agenda.”

  10. “Mr. Amorin (Uruguay) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, I would like to welcome you, Madam President, and to commend the South African presidency for organizing this open debate on a key issue for the maintenance of international peace and security. Uruguay aligns itself with the statement to be delivered by the representative of Canada on behalf of a large group of countries concerned with the issue of women and peace and security and wishes to share some considerations in our national capacity. My country welcomes the Secretary-General's useful and detailed report (S/2019/800) and the data provided in the independent assessment of the implementation of the gender recommendations contained in the three 2015 peace and security reviews.”
