  1. “Even in those cases where the international community is unable to resolve conflicts between or within countries, a legal framework is needed to enable such societies to go on to develop and become viable. We believe that that can be achieved only when laws are fully enforced, with a separation of powers and the presence of State authority throughout the national territory. In that respect, we consider peace and security and the rule of law to be fully complementary and mutually reinforcing values. We believe that, in the twenty-first century, it is not possible to discuss peace and security without referring to the rule of law, both nationally and internationally.”

  2. “Mrs. Carrion (Uruguay) (spoke in Spanish): We join others in thanking your country, Madam President, for convening this important and timely open debate. My country understands that peace and security must be viewed in a framework in which both concepts and their meanings are considered from the point of View of the rule of law. All here present have in mind the Declaration of the High-level Meeting ofthe General Assembly on the Rule of Law at the National and International Levels, adopted on 24 September 2012 (General Assembly resolution 67/ 1). We also recall the intensive negotiations during the year to ensure that all Member States achieved consensus on the text of the Declaration.”

  3. “That is why we would like to stress the importance of continuing to promote greater participation by women in the different areas and functions that are linked to peace processes, as they provide an undeniable qualitative contribution.”

  4. “The progress has been significant, but there are still limitations in meeting the expectations of both local populations and the international community. In that context, we would like to point out that Uruguay has been in the vanguard when it comes to including women into the armed forces, as reflected in the number of women deployed by the armed forces and by the national police in Uruguayan contingents to peacekeeping missions. Those professionals, always acting as volunteers, have performed remarkably and demonstrated significant levels of re-enlistment, thereby illustrating their commitment to the goals of the missions.”

  5. “We believe that full accountability is crucial and requires a broad, multisectoral response that, apart from medical and psychological aspects and reparations, should also include a focus on social and economic reintegration for victims. The United Nations system must continue to fight against the impunity of those responsible for such violations and promote national capacity-building, along with regional efforts, as well as international justice mechanisms and the work of organizations that defend women's human rights. Peacekeeping operations are one of the most important aspects of the women and peace and security agenda. In recent years, such operations have gradually incorporated protection-of-civilian mandates, with special attention to women and girls.”

  6. “We welcome the adoption of resolution 2122 (2013) today, which joins other efforts of the Security Council to carry out a systematic follow up to the implementation of the women, peace and security agenda and to move towards the full participation of women in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. We value the efforts of UN WOMEN and the United Nations Development Programme and their initiatives to improve women's access to justice during and after conflicts, as reflected in the report before us today. We also value the critical role of civil society, particularly that of local women's groups that assist victims in various aspects of recovery, from health services to access to justice.”

  7. “The role of women in bringing peace and security to conflict situations and their greater participation in post-conflict processes and in transitional justice is crucial to laying the groundwork for sustainable peace. We welcome the progress identified in the recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2013/525), which reports on improvements in various national justice systems and the existence of more resources in international efforts, while recognizing that there is still a need for the greater participation of women in all mechanisms related to peace processes and post-conflict reconstruction.”

  8. “Mrs. Carrion (Uruguay) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation thanks you, Sir, for convening this debate on women, the rule of law and transitional justice in conflict situations, which focuses on an important aspect of the women, peace and security agenda. Since the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), the women, peace and security agenda has clearly advanced in terms of scope and depth, and now occupies an important place in the realm of legal instruments, policies and specfic actions of the Organization in defending the importance of including a gender perspective in addressing the needs of women and girls in all conflict situations, and particularly in post- conflict reconstruction and recovery. The natural synergy between participation and protection is probably the central aspect of resolution 1325 (2000).”

  9. “Those women volunteers have always played a key role, and they are also interested in returning to jobs in the field, which shows, I think, the commitment that they have to the goals ofthe missions. That is why I think it is important to reiterate the need to continue to promote the greatest possible participation of women in peacekeeping processes, because they provide undeniable qualitative advantages. With regard to the implementation of the agenda of the protection of civilians in armed conflict, we would like particular stress to be given to women and children through the work that we do at Headquarters as well as through the work that is done by Blue Helmets on the ground. We would also like to stress the importance of having the broadest possible support for this agenda.”

  10. “However, the periodic attacks against civilian populations, including in areas where the missions are deployed, shows the limitations that still exist against dealing with the perpetrators of these attacks - limitations for the local population as well as for the international community. Through resolution 1325 (2000), the Council has stressed the important role that women play in the prevention of conflicts and in peacebuilding. Uruguay has been in the vanguard of incorporating women into the armed forces, and that can be seen in the number of women who are deployed in the armed forces as well as in the Uruguayan police and in the formed police units of peacekeeping operations.”

  11. “Uruguay considers the issue of women and peace and security to be an essential part of a larger agenda that includes the situation of children in armed conflict as well as the protection of civilians in armed conflict; they are integral parts of the whole. It is therefore essential to make coordinated progress and to use all the instruments available to the Organization, particularly its capacities in the field. One instrument in such efforts is peacekeeping operations, which in recent years have included mandates for the protection of civilians that pay particular attention to women and children. There has been significant progress.”

  12. “Despite that progress, however, we regret to note that reports from a number of conflict and post-conflict situations continue to point to increasing physical and emotional violence against women and girls, who are the primary victims of sexual violence and its negative consequences for their quality of life and future development. In that regard, we would stress the need to defend the human rights of the victims of serious violations. In our view, the United Nations system should continue to fight against impunity, bring to justice those guilty for such violations and strengthen national capacities, using regional capacities to promote international justice in the defence of women's rights.”

  13. “Mrs. Carrion (Uruguay) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, I would like to join the many previous speakers who have thanked you, Sir, for having convened this debate. I also express our gratitude to all those, especially the women, who work every day to promote peace and security. Since the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), the women and peace and security agenda has made clear progress, expanding in both breadth and depth to occupy the important place it does today, supported by the legal instruments, political initiatives and practical activities of the Organization.”
