  1. “We support all constructive efforts aimed at bringing an immediate end to the violence and call for the resumption of peace negotiations between the parties involved as soon as possible, so as to establish an independent Palestinian State, living side by side with Israel, which would create the necessary stability in the region.”

  2. “For that reason, we urge the Council, which acts through the mandate of Member States, not to remain indifferent to its responsibility and to adopt urgent and categorical measures to remedy this appalling situation. 18 Similarly, we request the international community and the parties to the conflict to guarantee, for humanitarian reasons, the permanent reopening of border crossings with Gaza to ensure the provision of food, supplies and medicines, facilitating the evacuation of the wounded and free access for humanitarian assistance, in coordination with the United Nations, to help alleviate the precarious humanitarian situation in Gaza. Lastly, we appeal for a continued belief in the peace.”

  3. “We urge both parties to resume the dialogue interrupted by the violence, so as to achieve the complete restoration of peace in the region, which does not deserve to live constantly punished by violence. The States members of MERCOSUR and associated States want that dialogue to contribute to achieving a peaceful and lasting solution to the conflict, with strict adherence to international law and the principles of the Charter of the United Nations and full respect for human rights and international humanitarian law. The Security Council is the United Nations organ with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  4. “The States members of MERCOSUR and associated States condemn Israel's land incursion into the Gaza Strip and that country's disproportionate use of force. Similarly, they reiterate their condemnation of the launching of rockets by Palestinian groups against Israeli territory. In that context, the States members of MERCOSUR and associated States also vehemently condemn the Israeli attacks against schools operated by the United Nations in the Gaza Strip, as a result of which over 40 innocent civilians have died. The States members of MERCOSUR and associated States extend their most heartfelt condolences to all family members of the victims of that conflict. Amid this regrettable situation, we join the whole international community in calling for an immediate cessation of all hostilities.”

  5. “Mr. Buffa (Paraguay) (spoke in Spanish): It is an honour for me to make this statement on behalf of the States members of the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR) and associated States i Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela and my country, Paraguay. The States members of MERCOSUR and associated States express their gratitude to the Security Council for the timely and necessary convening of this open debate to hear the viewpoints and appeals of Member States on the regrettable situation in the Gaza Strip. Similarly, as they publicly stated at the beginning of this conflict, they would like to reiterate before this body their deep concern at the current tragic situation in the Gaza Strip, whose high toll in loss of civilian life and casualties is regrettable.”

  6. “We hope that the first visit of the CTC to a member State in March 2005 will represent a practical step towards making progress in the task of cooperation with, and lending technical assistance to, Member States in their efforts to prevent and combat terrorism. Finally, we wish every success to the CTC's fourth meeting with international, regional and subregional organizations, to be held in Almaty Kazakhstan at the end of the month.”

  7. “I should like also to point out that, at the subregional level, Paraguay, along with Argentina, Brazil and the United States of America, belongs to the Three Plus One group, whose principal goal is cooperation and the elaboration of mechanisms to combat terrorism. The Government of Paraguay will continue to stress this issue in the Sixth Committee, so that, as requested in the report of the High-level Panel, we can reach a definition of terrorism, which has been discussed for almost a decade now, and so that we can finalize the draft conprehensive convention on international terrorism, thereby finally providing the international community with a unified legal framework to combat terrorism.”

  8. “Allow me, on behalf of the Government of Paraguay, to voice our gratitude to the Chairman of the CTC, Ambassador Denisov; to the CTC Executive Directorate; to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in Vienna; and to the OAS Inter-American Committee against Terrorism for their outstanding cooperation in the holding of the seminar. I wish also to say before this important body that the Republic of Paraguay is fully compliant in terms of bringing its legislation into conformity with existing norms in the area of the combat against terrorism; that it responds to CTC reports in a timely fashion and in the proper format; and that in our country there is a national commitment on the part of the three branches of Government to continue to fight this battle.”

  9. “The National Congress went into recess on 20 December and will resume its meetings on 1 March, and we expect the Executive branch to submit the draft law to the Congress at that time. We must stress that the presence at that seminar of an expert from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights was very important in terms of clarifying that all relevant legislation must be consistent with humanitarian law, thus dispelling any doubts that might arise in that connection. We wish also to highlight the presence of an expert from the OAS Inter-American Committee against Terrorism, thereby fulfilling the role assigned to regional organizations under the resolution.”

  10. “The seminar was held last December at the request of the Government of the Republic of Paraguay in Asuncion, Paraguay, in cooperation with the CTC; the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in Vienna; the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights; and the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism of the Organization of American States (OAS). It was a pivotal event in helping to bring domestic legislation into conformity with international agreements, leading to an agreed body of legislation that complements and updates, in keeping with international standards, the available tools for combating terrorism. Meetings were also held with representatives of the three branches of the State - Executive, Legislative and Judicial.”

  11. “My Government reiterates once again its resolute support for the work that the Security Council is carrying out, in cooperation with Member States, in the context of the global combat against terrorism. My country, in keeping with resolution 1373 (2001), has ratified and acceded to the 12 international conventions in the field of terrorism. Those instruments have now been incorporated into our national legislation, in keeping with constitutional provisions. Ambassador Denisov also mentioned the high- level seminar to follow up on the recommendations of the resolution, whose goal was to analyse national legislation and regulations on terrorism and bring them into conformity with the provisions of resolution 1373 (2001).”

  12. “Mr. Buffa (Paraguay) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me at the outset, on behalf of the delegation of Paraguay, to thank Ambassador Andrey Denisov, Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), for his briefing and to congratulate him on the work he has been doing under the mandate entrusted to him by the Council on behalf of the States Members of the United Nations. I should like also to congratulate Ambassador Javier Ruperez for his work as Executive Director of the CTC. The Government of Paraguay has consistently condemned energetically terrorism in all its aspects, which it considers to be a scourge affecting all humanity. We therefore believe that, in order to fight terrorism, it is imperative that the international community act in a coordinated and committed manner.”

  13. “Meanwhile, as we have heard during this open debate, financial contributions are still lagging. We urge donor countries and financial institutions to streamline the process of fulfilling the pledges they made at the donors conference in Washington last year. Finally, we would like to place on record Paraguay's commitment to continue to support the cause and ideals of the United Nations as it seeks to bring about lasting stability and development for its Member States, in particular for those that have for far too long seen their aspirations thwarted when it comes to providing their citizens with the stability and institutional development necessary to support their legitimate right to achieve sustainable economic and social development.”

  14. “The human and financial resources mobilized to date for MINUSTAH confirm the willingness of Member States to decisively support multilateral cooperation to overcome the climate of instability and disorder that prevailed during Haiti's political crisis and that caused significant damage and irreparable losses to the Haitian people. Paraguay is taking part in the Stabilization Mission by contributing staff officers. However, for logistical reasons beyond our control, and although our desire remains firm and committed, we have had to postpone to a later stage the deployment of troops to the field. Paraguay welcomes the active mobilization of a great number of Latin American and Caribbean Member States, which has provided an effective and decisive response to a humanitarian emergency besetting a country of the region.”

  15. “We would therefore like to congratulate the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Haiti, Mr. Juan Valdes, for his detailed briefing on the current situation, which pointed to substantive progress towards the normalization of activities in the country. We are also pleased to note the active joint participation of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Nations in the electoral process this year, which will be of vital importance. We therefore hope that that process will also have the resolute support of other institutions and States in order to ensure free and transparent elections with the participation of all Haitians.”

  16. “Mr. Buffa (Paraguay) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me at the outset to congratulate Minister Rafael Bielsa and the Argentine Republic on their timely initiative of convening an open debate on Haiti during the Argentine presidency of the Security Council this month. It is extremely important for Paraguay to see the willingness of the Security Council to make known and explain topics of overarching interest to all Member States, and in particular matters related to security and institutional stabilization in countries affected by internal conflict. The establishment of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) in June 2004 provided the endorsement necessary to guarantee an orderly and transparent transition to institutional and political recovery in the Republic of Haiti, thereby averting destabilizing effects in the region.”
