  1. “We emphasize that the support that we have been able to provide to peacekeeping operations would not have been possible without the invaluable assistance of friendly countries whose technical cooperation was vital. We hope that we will continue to receive such support. Finally, we call for working together to strengthen transparency and efficiency in the management of peacekeeping operations.”

  2. “Fourthly, El Salvador supports all initiatives that ensure the participation of women in the various contingents, in accordance with resolution 1325 (2000). We hope that that policy will be clearly reflected in the composition of staff, at all levels, under the special mission policy recently approved by the Council with regard to the peace process in Colombia. Fifthly, El Salvador appreciates the importance of maintaining a balance in the allocation of funds between the maintenance of international peace and security and the fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/1). We believe that ensuring the financing of the Agenda's Goals will help us to prevent future conflicts. As a country, we will continue inter-agency efforts to train our police and military personnel.”

  3. “We reiterate the need for the use of such technologies to be guided by the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, especially the principle of respect for the consent of host States, thereby ensuring respect for the sovereignty of host States. Thirdly, El Salvador welcomes the initiative of the Secretary-General to establish an independent panel to review allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse by international forces in the Central African Republic. We welcome the report to be presented by the panel and look forward to a prompt and specific answer from the Secretary-General to the recommendations made and to the discussion on the subject, in which we will actively take part.”

  4. “First, we believe that it is very important to develop more realistic political strategies that are contextualized and coordinated through valid and effective consultations among the Security Council, the Secretariat, host countries, regional actors and troop-contributing countries, thereby creating an institutional framework within which to reconsider the establishment of and the mandates for such operations and achieve the diligence, clarity and precision needed to ensure the efficacy of peacekeeping operations and the establishment of exit strategies. Secondly, we believe that the use of modern technologies could help improve the safety and security of personnel and the assets of the United Nations.”

  5. “We reiterate the need to provide comprehensive training prior to the deployment of troops and during operations, including appropriate equipment to fulfil the assigned mandates and to maintain dialogue between the Secretariat and potential contributors, so as to develop viable and effective alternatives so that the international community can face such crises in a timely manner. In that regard, our Government supports the initiative of establishing rapid deployment units that would be available to the Security Council. In conclusion, we would like to make the following points.”

  6. “El Salvador welcomes the establishment of the new security-risks policy and the steps that have been taken, but we are concerned that it has been developed without any consultation and that its dissemination does not provide a clear strategy for Member States. In that regard, we stress the need for transparent, active, open and regular dialogue among the countries that contribute personnel to peacekeeping operations, the Security Council and the Secretariat, especially with regard to the serious incidents that have occurred recently relating to the safety ofpeacekeeping personnel and to human rights violations against civilians.”

  7. “As a country that benefited from that type of operations in the 1990s, we are deeply committed to returning the invaluable support given to us by the international community, and in particular the United Nations, through the United Nations Mission in El Salvador during the peace process in our country. We therefore reiterate our full willingness to continue to actively participate in current and future missions. While we acknowledge that such operations face complex challenges and difficult conditions, we are concerned about ongoing attacks against troops and personnel. We also realize that some field missions do not have adequate security for troops or enough personnel to carry out their work, which decreases their level of security.”

  8. “My country, as a founding member and supporter of the Charter of the United Nations, firmly believes that comprehensive peace can be achieved only through dialogue, harmony and full respect for international law and human rights. We have made the promotion and strengthening of security at the national and international levels one of our priorities, with respect for human rights as a vital component of our policy. The key tool that the United Nations possesses to uphold its responsibility in that area is represented by its peacekeeping operations. That work has expanded and the mandates have diversified. In addition, the tasks carried out by peacekeeping operations are performed in harsh environments in a constant state of flux. That is why, in order for them to be successful, they require the full support of the international community.”

  9. “Mr. Castaneda Magafia (El Salvador) (spoke in Spanish): First, I would like to thank the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela for having convened today's open debate. It reflects responsible and wise leadership on the part of that Government in carrying out the work of the Security Council. We take this opportunity to renew the bonds of friendship between our two Governments and to convey special greetings from President Salvador Senchez Ceren to President Nicolas Maduro Moros and demonstrate our confidence in his country's presidency of the Security Council. We also welcome this opportunity to address the issue of the maintenance of international peace and security and respect for the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations as a key element in the maintenance of international peace and security.”
