  1. “This would mean moving from a culture of non-interference to one of non-indifference, particularly when it comes to human suffering.”

  2. “Mexico has supported the Group of Friends of Sustaining Peace, and in this context we look forward to working with the Secretary-General and members of the Security Council in the coming years to gain a better understanding of the potential of this conceptual and systemic challenge, especially given the fragmentation of the work of the Organization. This, of course, requires the active and meaningful participation of the principal organs of the United Nations as well as of the Secretariat, agencies, funds, programmes, specialized agencies and United Nations field operations. This paradigm shift should lead to the achievement of international peace and security not only as ends in themselves, but rather as a way to prevent social and humanitarian disasters caused by wars.”

  3. “Enabling the Secretary-General to request advisory opinions from the International Court of Justice could be a valuable instrument of preventive diplomacy that would strengthen the work of the Secretariat within the framework of the purposes of the Charter. The adoption of historic resolutions - General Assembly resolution 70/262 and Security Council resolution 2282 (2016) - has demonstrated that both the Assembly and the Council are committed to guiding the Organization's work on the basis of sustainable peace, and the concept has also been incorporated in the programme of work of the Secretary-General.”

  4. “Unfortunately, the Security Council has sought to resolve and manage conflicts and has not really focused on preventing them. This has resulted in very high monetary costs and a significant loss of life. However, conflict prevention is also the responsibility of the Organization as a whole. We must create a paradigm shift so that people experiencing and suffering from situations of conflict or post-conflict can be the protagonists of public policies that strive to achieve the well-being of societies in the long term. The involvement of the Secretary-General directly or through his envoys or special representatives is vital to early warning of conflicts and could be key in prevention efforts.”

  5. “Mrs. Arrieta Munguia (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): We wish to thank Sweden for having convened this very timely debate and express to all members of the Security Council our hope that 2017 will be a year of peace, as called for by the Secretary-General. Mexico hopes that under the leadership of Secretary- General Guterres, the Organization will effectively and in a timely way address the current challenges on the international peace and security agenda. We fully agree with his vision of linking the pillars of international security and development as a meaningful path towards prevention. That is why, given the current evolution of armed conflicts, it is essential to make urgent and innovative changes to the tools that the Organization has at its disposal to prevent them, through a focus on the underlying causes of such conflicts.”

  6. “That is why I am very pleased to mention that some 30 countries took part in the Group's first meeting, out of a conviction that sustainable peace must be transformed into a living objective that has a strong cross-cutting presence throughout the entire United Nations system. This includes a change in our approach to the way we work to achieve a peace that can sustain itself and that is sustainable for all.”

  7. “As an example, and under the modality of South-South cooperation, Mexico and Cuba, through the World Health Organization, provided assistance to countries affected by the Ebola epidemic. Mexico provided resources for the team and supplies for the Cuban medical brigades that were deployed to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the countries most affected by the health emergency. The results were very positive. Such best practices in cooperation could be replicated in other areas, including in the Peacebuilding Fund. Mexico will continue to play an active and constructive role as the leader of the Group of Friends of Sustainable Peace.”

  8. “Doing so would improve coordination and also help to develop and share best practices in peacebuilding. We would also like to call on the Security Council to promote and to regularly take advantage of the specific and strategic, defined advisory role of the PBc in the periodic review carried out by the Security Council of the situations on its agenda and of those situations related to the establishment, review and drawdown of peacekeeping operations. Our main message here is that we need to find more creative solutions in all the processes related to the peacebuilding architecture. To that end, Member States would have to commit to going beyond the traditional and obvious ways in which we have been supporting conflict-affected countries.”

  9. “Nevertheless, the recent resurgence of conflict in Africa attests to the need to go beyond electoral processes and to promote the inclusive and active participation of all segments of society - in particular, that of women and young people - in peace processes. Moreover, sustainable peace requires us to unite our efforts both within and outside the system, hence the great added value of establishing strategic alliances with regional and subregional organizations, such as the African Union. Mexico reiterates that the Peacebuilding Commission's advisory role and its long-term perspective need to be taken advantage of on a periodic basis by regional and subregional organizations in Africa, particularly in the context of African countries that are on the Commision's agenda.”

  10. “The international community has confirmed that the stability of conflict-affected ctries does not depend solely on improving security, but that it also depends on respecting human rights, strengthening the rule of law and promoting development. Mexico recognizes that some of the challenges facing Africa in supporting peace processes are related to democratic transition and building democracy. That is why, since 2009, we have been providing technical assistance and training in election matters to African countries that have requestedthem. Mexico expresses its willingness to continue providing electoral assistance and cooperation to those countries in need of them.”

  11. “Those root causes are closely linked to the three pillars of the work of the United Nations, given that we cannot think about peace and security without also thinking about development and human rights. We are convinced that strengthening the rule of law and accountable and transparent institutions is as important as promoting sustainable and inclusive development. Against that backdrop, the new concept of sustainable peace is based on Goal 16 but goes beyond it, creating a perfect synergy with the 2030 Agenda. This paradigm shift also draws attention to the need to place people at the centre of our efforts. It is a call to invest in communities and preserve a healthy social fabric in order to create more opportunities for development and for political and social stability. Over the past several years, we have learned a number of lessons.”

  12. “It is worth drawing attention here to the role played by Japan during its non-permanent memberships of the Security Council and as Chair of the PBC Working Group on Lessons Learned in promoting this dialogue. In particular, we welcome the comprehensive changes that will be brought about by the implementation of General Assembly resolution 70/262 and resolution 2282 (2016), which together set out a road map for sustainable peace. We are talking about a new narrative that focuses our efforts on conflict prevention and on a proactive, strategic and long-term approach, without neglecting the fact that each stage of a conflict is crucial and that its root causes must be addressed.”

  13. “Mrs. Arrieta Munguia (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): Mexico welcomes the holding of this open debate, which will encourage the breaking of silos and call into question inertia in facing the enormous task of sustaining peace. This is a systemic challenge that requires us to put an end to the fragmentation within the Organization and to participate in an active, coherent and coordinated manner. In that regard, we welcome the participation of the Secretary-General and Minister Kishida, as well as the briefings made by the representatives of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) and the African Union. Now more than ever, it is necessary for us to establish an effective dialogue between the Security Council and the key actors of the Organization.”
