“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): In the framework of the tenth anniversary of resolution 1612 (2005), next July, we would like to thank France for having convened this open debate. We would also highlight the leadership of Malaysia in the informal Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict. We appreciate the briefings by the Secretary- General and invited participants, especially civil society and Junior Nzita. The encourage us to continue to work decisively for girls and boys in conflict and post-conflict situations. We thank the Special Representative, Leila Zerrougui, for her work in this area and her call to prevent and eradicate the brutal actions of non-State actors against children, which we strongly condemn.”

“We appreciate the support provided by the IAEA to the activities of monitoring and verifying the voluntary measures referred to in the Joint Plan of Action. Finally, we thank the Panel of Experts for the work it is doing, which is vital to the functioning of the 1737 Committee.”

“However, sanctions are not an end in themselves, but are merely a tool used within a broader diplomatic strategy aimed at restoring the trust between the international community and Iran with regard to the country's the nuclear programme. It is essential to maintain the positive atmosphere that has prevailed throughout the negotiations. Council members must contribute to this cause, as it is in everyone's interest to achieve a broad and substantive agreement that allows Iran to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, and the international community to verify that the programme is not for military purposes. Chile takes note of the 19 February report of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).”

“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank Ambassador Roman Oyarzun Marchesi for introducing the 90-day report of the work of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006). We appreciate Spain's approach in presiding over the Security Council's non-proliferation committees, through which it has shown decisiveness and political tact. As noted by Ambassador Oyarzun Marchesi in his briefing, the sanctions imposed by the Security Council under resolution 1737 (2006) and the other relevant resolutions remain in full effect during the course of the current negotiations between the P5+1 and Iran.”

“It is crucial that the international community continue to support initiatives aimed both at funding immediate needs - including with regard to the recent increase in cholera cases, the ongoing situation with the remaining internally displaced persons and the prospects for increasing food security - and at supporting Haiti's national capacities in the long term. In conclusion, I want to reiterate Chile's commitment to the Haitian people, its authorities and MINUSTAH. Chile will continue to support the consolidation of the rule of law, democracy and the development of Haiti's capacities, as that contributes to building a political culture that is committed to the stability of the country and the progress of the Haitian people. We must do our work well in order to succeed.”

“Chile reiterates its support for a gradual reduction of the force that takes into account the electoral calendar, with a view to ensuring a process that guarantees transparency and democratic governance in a way that does not undermine the achievements of the past years. We welcome the announcement of the intention to make full use of the police levels that have been authorized. Honestly, however, we wonder whether it will be possible to reach those numbers in an opportune time to fully carry out the preventive functions performed by the military component. I would not want to conclude my statement without reiterating that Haiti continues to face challenges on the humanitarian and development fronts.”

“Although the report of the Secretary-General indicates that the security situation has remained stable overall, we must not forget that the fact that, as of 18 February, the number of troops stood at 4,615 contributed to that. The real challenge will therefore begin after 1 July when, in accordance with the provisions of resolution 2180 (2014) - barring a revision - we will have to face a prolonged cycle of elections with practically half as many troops, and that at a time when there will still be a long way to go before the Haitian National Police can reach the appropriate minimum numbers to be able to face that challenge.”

“In our view, this presages a period of uncertainty and a prolonged electoral process, which will likely involved several rounds of voting and possible run-off elections and may be exacerbated by a complex economic context that could impact Haiti this year. As we reiterate the importance of ongoing support for Haiti, we must listen to the Haitian authorities, who have reaffirmed the importance of the military component of MINUSTAH in strengythening security throughout the electoral cycle, and have requested a sufficient and robust Mission presence. This and other requests are clearly reflected in the letter sent by the President of Haiti to the Secretary-General, which has been circulated as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/2015/191.”

“The Mission must maintain its capacity to provide logistical support for the elections and to contribute to creating a stable and secure environment throughout Haiti. The Secretary-General recognizes that the Government of Haiti must confront and assess those challenges on the basis of a gradual political context and the complexity of the elections. In his report, the Secretary-General also recognizes that, despite the fact that the Haitian National Police has improved its capacity to address crime and public disorder, the elections threaten to exacerbate the political climate in the country.”

“Only a few days after the presentation of the electoral calendar by the provisional Electoral Council, we stress the need for the political stakeholders to assume their responsibility towards the Haitian people and strive together to ensure that all the elections are conducted successfully. It is very difficult to put into context the process by which MINUSTAH will be strengthened and reconfigured. In that regard, we note the message in the Secretary-General's report that "the lingering political crisis diverted attention from the focused pursuit of initiatives underpinning the consolidation process" (S/2015/I57, para. 53). Those initiatives are outlined in the annex to the report. The elections are thus a priority of fundamental importance, and we must act to ensure that they are conducted smoothly.”

“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile wishes to express its gratitude to the presidency for convening this meeting on the situation in Haiti and the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). This is a priority situation for Latin America and the Caribbean. We thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Honore for introducing the report of the Secretary-General (S/2015/157). In January, Council members had an opportunity to visit Haiti, where we witnessed the progress that had been achieved and took note of the remaining challenges, of which political dialogue remains the key. The Council was able to send a strong, unified message on the need for all stakeholders to work together to establish democratic and institutional processes in the country.”

“In that regard, the support and cooperation of regional and international partners continues to be important and necessary. Given the critical time that Afghanistan is going through and the important role of UNAMA in supporting the Government, we favour the renewal of the Mission's mandate for 12 months. Likewise, we emphasize the evaluation process for the six-month period beginning on the date of the adoption of resolution 2210 (2015) to examine all the functions, structures and activities of all United Nations entities in Afghanistan. Finally, we thank Spain for all the work done to make it possible to submit the resolution approved today.”

“We recognize that Afghanistan continues to face enormous challenges to its stability, such as corruption, drug trafficking, terrorism and a humanitarian crisis. In that regard, we call on donor countries and international financial institutions to maintain their commitment to long-term development assistance, particularly in View of the sharp slowdown expected for the Afghan economy in the next few years. We are concerned about the impact the security situation continues to have on the Afghan civilian population, particularly on children and women. The complex security situation - a product of terrorism and the fight against anti-Government elements - requires a comprehensive and coordinated response to ensure adequate protection for civilians.”

“The stability achieved in the first months of the transitional Government made it possible to focus efforts on priority areas related to security and development in the country. We hope that the process of forming a Government will be completed without problems. In that regard, we cannot fail to mention that one of the short-term priorities should be holding this year's parliamentary and municipal elections in an orderly and peaceful manner, with the active and broad participation of women. The consolidation of peace and national reconciliation are essential in this period. The Government's efforts to carry out a process that is owned and led by Afghans themselves require support from all of us. Civil society must play an active role in an inclusive peace process.”

“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We welcome the Special Representative of the Secretary- General and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), Mr. Nicholas Haysom, and thank him for his briefing on the current situation in Afghanistan. We would also like to thank Ambassador Tanin for his statement. Chile welcomes the progress achieved since our previous meeting on Afghanistan, held on 18 December (see S/PV.7347), and we welcome the start of the transformation decade 2015-2024. We welcome the goodwill that President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah have shown in the process of forming the new Government.”

“It is our belief that regional and subregional organizations should be active players in the implementation of that resolution in their political and military missions in areas of conflict. Furthermore, they should implement the seven-point plan of action proposed by the Secretary-General in 2010.”

“It is essential that the growing cooperation with regional organizations respect the principle of national ownership, which is highly important in reinforcing the legitimacy and effectiveness of the various regional organizations throughout the world. In conclusion, we refer to a topic of common interest to both Chile and the European Union, which is women and armed conflict. We share the concern for enhancing the protection of women in such situations, which must include women's active participation in post-conflict peacebuilding and decision-making efforts. That is particularly relevant this year as we commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000).”

“Its involvement in helping to restore countries affected by crises has been significant, as we have seen in its support to Mali and Somalia, its military training missions in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa, and its Common Security and Defence Policy missions, which are aimed at improving the capacity of the military and police forces in those countries. Another highlight is Operation Atalanta's efforts against piracy and armed robbery off the coast of Somalia. We also note with interest the European Union's significant efforts to ensure rapid response and deployment capacities in the face of armed conflict.”

“Based on that experience, we deepened our cooperation through a crisis-management framework agreement, designed to strengthen our capacity to develop peacekeeping and humanitarian missions, promote development of the civilian component in future operations and facilitate access to technical know-how and exchanges. Through its political and military operations, the European Union has fostered peace and post-conflict processes in various countries and regions. Its growing number of operations in the current decade is a sign of the increase in new conflicts requiring collective action and in which the European Union can once again continue to contribute to the work of the Security Council.”

“In that context, we believe it is essential to continue promoting increased cooperation at every stage with regional and subregional organizations in preventing crises and handling post-conflict challenges. The European Union has exceptional capacities for taking effective action on issues related to peace and security and contributing to implementation of the Council's mandates. We would like to emphasize the promotion of the rule of law and the protection of human rights as an essential dimension in rehabilitating fractured societies, areas in which we share the European Union's concerns. My country has an interest in supporting the peacekeeping and post-conflict processes, and it was on that basis that we participated in the European Union-led peacekeeping force's Operation Althea, beginning in 2003.”

“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank the French presidency for convening this meeting to discuss the issue of cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations and arrangements, and Ms. Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the European Union, for her briefing. As we have indicated in previous statements in the Council, Chile believes that collective action is vital to enabling our multilateral system to deal effectively with threats, traditional or emerging. That is strengthened through the involvement of regional and subregional mechanisms, as outlined in Chapter VIII of the Charter ofthe United Nations, as long as it is always subject to coordination by the United Nations.”

“We stress the fact that access to humanitarian and emergency support must be unrestricted throughout the territory of Ukraine, and the authorities must ensure the protection of the entire Ukrainian population. It is necessary to put a clear end to the confrontation so that the international community and the Government of Ukraine can concentrate their efforts and resources on dealing with the humanitarian and economic crisis. Ukraine will need all the help it can get in addressing the humanitarian crisis, which has left more than 1 million people displaced. The Government must find lasting solutions for the provision of housing, employment and social services and the integration of those people who, because of the conflict, will not be able to return to their places of origin.”

“Chile believes that the process must be transparent and that the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine must be given an inventory of the weapons in the country and full access to information on the withdrawal so that it can play its full role in monitoring the ceasefire and the arms stockpiles. Despite those difficulties, it will be able to manage this phase without major setbacks, in accordance with the programme established in the package of measures, which should not interfere with the establishment of working groups and the finding of a political solution to the conflict. We are also concerned that access was not given to a United Nations rescue team following a methane explosion in a Donetsk mine.”

“Nevertheless, it is difficult to begin to speak of a political solution when we know that, since the ceasefire entered into force on 15 February, 60 Ukrainian soldiers and an unknown number of separatists and civilians have died. Indeed, confrontations persist in some regions of the country. We once again urge the parties to fully implement the ceasefire. According to the package of measures adopted on 12 February, the deadline for the withdrawal of heavy weaponry will expire tomorrow, 7 March. That process was developed with limited access by the Special Monitoring Mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).”

“Mr. Barros Melet (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Mr. Jeffrey Feltman for keeping us updated on the political situation in Ukraine. We also thank Mr. John Ging and Mr. Ivan Simonovic' for their briefings on the humanitarian situation in the country. I would like to begin by deploring the death of four demonstrators as the result of a remotely detonated device, on 22 February in Kharkiv. We hope that terrorism will not spread. Ukraine is a country that has already suffered greatly; it needs to rebuild a peaceful society in which its citizens will not have to fear for their lives or well-being. In that connection, we were pleased to hear that, since the signing of the Minsk agreements, there has been a decrease in tensions in Ukraine and progress has been achieved - for example, on prisoner exchanges between the parties.”

“Chile has promoted inclusive development as a transformative mechanism for dealing with the underlying causes of conflict, and we find strength in our conviction that it is not possible to separate the concept of the precepts and principles of the Charter and international law, which must prevail as the structural political and legal values of the global order.”

“The Council, taking into full consideration the role of regional organizations under Chapter VIII, must act in a manner consistent with those purposes and principles. A, analysis of the root or immediate causes of the destabilizing processes and crises that today seriously threaten the maintenance of international peace and security cannot therefore depart from the teaching of the universal principles expressed in the Charter. Neither terrorism, arms proliferation, internal armed conflicts nor piracy, among other threats, may serve to justify a departure from the founding treaty of the system. I wish to conclude my statement by recalling that the Council has recognized that the three pillars of the United Nations - peace and security, human rights, and development - are closely interrelated and mutually reinforcing.”

“The Council must take all the steps necessary to facilitate the search, in accordance with international law, for frameworks through which to prevent conflicts and act on them in a legitimate and appropriate manner when appropriate. Today we recognize that international law has evolved from being aimed at coexistence to being aimed at cooperation, as evidenced in the obligations and instruments on those subjects. We must rise to the challenge of enhancing those elements that enable us to continue to build an international regulatory structure that adequately reflects the purposes and principles of the Charter in our current circumstances. In that context, the policy and legal imperative that the United Nations, and in particular the Council, must continue to promote is key.”

“In an interconnected world, where ethical development is crucial to addressing pressing issues of global policy, we cannot remain indifferent to acts that are repugnant to human consciousness, which daily challenge Governments and international institutions to act. The responsibility to protect is a concept that has legitimacy and, as such, should be incorporated into the international law and institutions with which the international community has been endowed. The Security Council has recognized that in successive resolutions, including resolutions 2150 (2014) and 2171 (2014). Through those resolutions, the Council has emphasized that the responsibility to protect can be instrumental in preventing and combating serious international crimes such as genocide.”

“The Charter is an instrument for peace, security and development, and respecting it involves recognizing that the dignity and welfare of people are an integral part of respect for fundamental rights. Our country firmly believes that systematic human rights violations and crimes against humanity, including ethnic cleansing, genocide and war crimes, call for the international community to express legitimate concern, as it has the duty to give effect to the instruments and mechanisms in place. In that context, its is with a sense of responsibility that we reiterate that the principle of non-intervention cannot be a barrier that prevents the international community from ruling on situations where fundamental rights are violated.”

“international law, which has undergone significant developments, demands adherence to the integrity of the founding principles of the Charter, which must be upheld even in the face of new realities, when the goal of helping to establish stability, peace and security is stake. Consequently, even when employed in the service of necessary evolution, such legal principles as the sovereign equality of States, good faith compliance with international obligations, States' territorial integrity and political independence, the peaceful settlement of disputes and the non-use of force should not be affected. The constitutional nature of that set of principles should not be relativized, since it would affect the very essence of stability and coexistence among States.”

“In the light of the upcoming commemoration of the seventieth anniversary of the adoption of the Charter, we would like to state that its purposes and principles are assets to the international community and should guarantee the universal application of the rule of law and global governance. Those principles will form a comprehensive corpus that is customary, universal, non-derogable and as a whole enforceable, as recognized in General Assembly resolution 2625 (XXV) and international jurisprudence. Under these principles, selectivity is not possible. Against that backdrop.”

We also thank the Secretary- General for his statement. The purposes and principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter establish the fundamental basis for peaceful coexistence among States. They are the backbone of the political and legal values that structure the international system, and we must continue to guide cooperation among States on these bases - even more so in a diverse and asymmetrical world such as ours.”

We emphasize the need to respect the independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine. We call on all parties to fully comply with the provisions of the ceasefire in order to guarantee that a sustainable political solution is agreed that ensures peaceful coexistence based on the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, thereby building lasting peace.”

We are confident that it will contribute to ending the violence and the humanitarian crisis in the country by providing assistance through an international mechanism. Resolution 2202 (2015), which we have just adopted, is clear sign of consensus in support of those diplomatic efforts and of the ceasefire for the benefit of the protection of civilians.

Despite the coup d'etat, it is now time for the parties in Yemen to assume their responsibilities and relaunch the dialogue. More than ever, we urge all the parties to avoid unilateral actions and to speed up inclusive negotiations, facilitated by the United Nations, with a View to moving ahead with the political transition.”

To conclude, I would like to stress that resolution 1244 (1999) continues to be in full force as the internationally accepted legal basis for resolving the situation in Kosovo, including strict respect for the principle of territorial integrity. We look forward to the conversations that will take place in Brussels on 9 February between Belgrade and Pristina, and we hope that the parties will continue to implement the agreement of 19 April 2013 to continue the process of normalizing their relations.”

In that respect, we highlight the work and the central role that UNMIK continues to play in promoting security, stability and respect for human rights, which is a priority for making progress in reconciliation between communities. We also congratulate the Kosovo authorities on their adoption of the draft law prohibiting the participation of Kosovo in foreign conflicts.”

We note with interest the consultations held on the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa and the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus, and we welcome those on Nepal, which demonstrate the Council's interest in preemptively focusing on an issue that could require follow-up.

That will require us to ensure that the United Nations Office for West Africa and the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa are adequately supported. The informal interactive dialogue on the final report of the independent investigation commission on the Central African Republic was an exemplary initiative that allowed Council members to gather information about the fight against impunity in the country, which will be useful when the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic comes up for renewal.”

“Such visits demonstrate the need for the Council to remain attentive to solutions on the ground, such follow- up being all the more important when it comes to reconfiguring peace missions. In Haiti, the Council observed the support for inclusive development for the maintenance of international peace and security provided by the United Nations country team, and the rapid-impact and community violence-reduction programmes being implemented by the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti. The Council also, unfortunately, learned of many deaths and was able to respond in a timely fashion, through presidential statements, to threats and attacks from armed and/or terrorist groups, such as the Forces democratiques de liberation du Rwanda and Boko Haram.”

In that regard, the Council adopted presidential statement S/PRST/2015/2, which supports the review of the peacebuilding architecture and suggests ways to guide efforts in this domain. Security Council missions are a tool for maintaining international peace and security. Our visit to Haiti allowed us to obtain first-hand information and to issue an urgent unified call on all sectors urging them to make constructive process through dialogue and by holding fair, credible and transparent elections.”

Over the past month, the Security Council held an open debate at the ministerial level on inclusive development for the maintenance of international peace and security (see S/PV.7361).
