  1. “Since it is mostly men who participate in conflict, it is important to encourage the role of women in order to help stabilize post-conflict environments and restore the fabric of society. In this regard, Thailand takes note with appreciation of the Secretary-General's action plan for gender-responsive peacebuilding as a concrete step to women's empowerment in post-conflict societies. Peacebuilding is a complex and multifaceted task. As we approach the end of our period of membership of the Peacebuilding Commission Organizational Committee, Thailand hopes that we have contributed in some small way to the work of the Commission, and that it will lead towards a more efficient, flexible and comprehensive approach to peacebuilding challenges in post-conflict situations around the world.”

  2. “In this connection, Thailand welcomes the ongoing international review of civilian capacity. The review should contribute considerably to narrowing the serious gap in national and international capacities, and thus to ensuring a smooth transition from conflict to peacemaking, peacekeeping, peacebuilding and development. Thailand also appreciates the Secretary-General's efforts to strengthen civilian capacities in the global South and among women. Thailand firmly believes that women's participation in all aspects of peacemaking, peacekeeping, peacebuilding and development will contribute significantly to long-term and sustainable peace and security in post-conflict societies.”

  3. “Institutions of governance and operational mechanisms must be developed not only to conform to international standards, but also to reflect local needs and conditions. Moreover, national capacity must be developed in the early stages to ensure prosperity and the sustainability of peace and security. If peace and security are to be sustainable, it is necessary to address the root causes of conflict. Often, this means creating a new sense of shared purpose and common values for post-conflict societies. This is a task best left to the national leadership, but should be encouraged where possible by the international community. Predictable, timely and sufficient national and international support is also essential to the success of the peacebuilding process.”

  4. “Let me begin by thanking you, Sir, for having organized this timely debate. Thailand would like to commend the Secretary- General for his excellent reports on peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict (S/2010/386) and women's participation in peacebuilding (S/2010/466). The Thai delegation would also like to align itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Bangladesh on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. On this occasion, Thailand would like to emphasize a few aspects of peacebuilding that we believe to be crucial to its success and conducive to women's participation in the process. While post-conflict societies, at least initially, may require and rely on assistance from the international community, fostering national ownership is of paramount importance to the success of peacebuilding.”

  9. “Thailand - as a strong and consistent supporter of United Nations peacekeeping for decades and as a country that has put our peacekeepers under the United Nations flag in various missions - has a stake in the evolution and reform of United Nations peacekeeping. Therefore we will closely and with interest follow the discussions on this issue, on various tracks, and look forward to actively contributing to the process.”

  10. “In many cases, regional organizations have comparative advantages and better understanding of challenges in their respective regions. The United Nations could help strengthen the capacity of regional organizations so that they can better support the United Nations peacekeeping operations in their regions. The blue beret of United Nations peacekeepers has become an iconic image of the United Nations in the eyes of peoples around the world. The success and dedication of courageous men and women under the United Nations flag in various conflict zones have given the ideals and principles of the United Nations Charter a real and tangible meaning.”

  11. “Capitalizing on its presence in the early stage of a peace process, it can help to bring about safety and security, support political processes and energize economic recovery, which will lead to a quick and smooth transition into the peacebuilding phase. Early engagement in peacebuilding activity is a window of opportunity to restore livelihoods, create an atmosphere of trust and confidence and bring about sustainable peace. In short, peacekeepers can be early peacebuilders. Thirdly, effective partnerships between the United Nations and regional organizations are vital. Cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations should be mutually reinforcing to achieve a win-win situation for all partners.”

  12. “Secondly, Thailand supports the ongoing evolution of peacekeeping towards an operation more integrated in outlook and mandate, which would enable operations to effectively combine both peacekeeping and peacebuilding elements and bridge the critical gap between cessation of fighting and durable peace. In this connection, there should be greater emphasis on sustainable peace, security and development as well as on national ownership, with a clear strategy for a seamless transition. United Nations peacekeeping can contribute tremendously to the early recovery of a country in the aftermath of conflict.”

  13. “First, there is a strong need to establish a better and more effective coordinating system within the United Nations system for peacekeeping operations. Thailand is of the view that regular and inclusive dialogue between the Council and relevant stakeholders, especially the troop-contributing countries (TCCs), before and throughout the deployment process - from the drafting of the mandate to the exit and termination of the operation - is necessary to ensure credibility of a mandate and success of a peacekeeping operation. Thailand appreciates the effort of the Security Council Working Group on Peacekeeping Operations, led by Japan, to reach out and seek views of various stakeholders on the current state of peacekeeping operations.”

  14. “Susana Malcorra, Under- Secretary-General for Field Support, for their comprehensive briefings today and for the non-paper "A New Partnership Agenda: Charting a New Horizon for United Nations Peacekeeping", which highlights a number of important points and provides valuable recommendations for Member States to deliberate. My delegation would also like to thank General Martin Luther Agwai, Force Commander of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, for his insightful briefing today and for his leadership on the ground. Thailand associates itself with the statement made by the delegation of Morocco on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. We would like to take this opportunity to highlight a few points that, we believe, merit serious consideration.”

  15. “Allow me to congratulate you, Mr. President, upon your assumption of the Council presidency for the month of August and for convening this timely debate on United Nations peacekeeping operations. My appreciation also goes to your predecessor, the Permanent Representative of Uganda, for his leadership as the President of the Council for the month of July. The debate today is very important and relevant, as United Nations peacekeeping operations are at present facing many critical challenges, having to do more with less while operating in conflicts whose natures and environments are changing rapidly and becoming more demanding. My delegation would like to thank Mr. Alain Le Roy, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, and Ms.”

  16. “We look forward to constructive consultations leading to the review of the arrangements of the Peacebuilding Commission in 2010, with the goal of strengthening its contribution to the effects of peacebuilding.”

  17. “We also support the Secretary-General in his view that, for countries on the Security Council's agenda, the respective roles of the Council and the Commission need to be seen as complementary and parallel, rather than sequenced in a manner that could diminish the Commission's role during earlier phases where it could add significant value. In conclusion, I wish to reiterate Thailand's firm commitment to peacebuilding and our strong support for a holistic approach to the issue of peace and security. We believe that in the present age of globalization and increasing interdependence, it is imperative to address conflicts comprehensively - both upstream and downstream. Conflict prevention, peacekeeping and peacebuilding should always be looked at in their totality. We are committed to supporting the work of the United Nations in this regard.”

  18. “Therefore, we encourage closer and more systematic consultations, as well as sharing of experience, between the United Nations and relevant regional partners throughout the peacebuilding process, from the very outset. We also recognize the potentially positive contribution of South-South cooperation and trilateral partnerships in assisting countries emerging from conflict, bearing in mind the comparative advantage of the sharing of experience between developing countries or those with similar social, cultural or political structures, with the support of the donor community. Sixthly, Thailand strongly supports the Secretary- General's recommendation that the Security Council should proactively consider how to more actively utilize the advice of the Peacebuilding Commission in its consideration of post-conflict situations.”

  19. “Fourthly, to promote national ownership and sustainable peace in the long run, Thailand believes that local expertise and resources should be fully mobilized, while the country's resources management capability should also be strengthened. When international experts are called on to deliver advice and services on the ground, geographical balance and representation should be taken into consideration. And at the start of a peacebuilding process, the relevant actors should have an end goal in sight. It is important to stress that peacebuilding is not a perpetual process, but a supportive beginning to sustainable peace and development. Fifthly, Thailand believes that regional actors can significantly influence the peace process and that engagement with such key players in peacebuilding efforts is indispensable.”

  20. “Thirdly, Thailand is of the view that security and economic challenges must be addressed simultaneously and given equal weight when priorities for peacebuilding are being determined. Security and development are interconnected and cannot be tackled in isolation. It is important to keep in mind that there is no one-size-fits-all solution or formula for rebuilding a society that has undergone conflict. Every situation is unique and the particular dynamics of each case, as well as the competing demands and interests of all parties concerned in a given society, should be taken fully into account when setting a country's priorities and strategies. In other words, the process must be bottom-up to be durable.”

  21. “As the largest intergovernmental organization, with specialized agencies spanning a comprehensive set of issues and a close partnership with a variety of civil society organizations on the ground, the United Nations is, we believe, in a unique position to bring all relevant actors on board to ensure more effective coordination and a more coherent response at both the policy level and on the ground in support of the priorities and strategies of all countries concerned. With a common vision and a coherent coordination mechanism among the United Nations agencies, donors and other relevant actors, country- specific needs and priorities would have a better chance of being fulfilled and limited resources would be better utilized.”

  22. “First, Thailand welcomes the report of the Secretary-General on peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict (S/2009/304) and would like to thank the Peacebuilding Support Office for its commendable work. We agree with the emphasis of the report on early action and national ownership in the peacebuilding process. The report highlights critical gaps in peacebuilding efforts and provides useful recommendations on ways and means to strengthen the United Nations response as well as international cooperation on this matter. Secondly, Thailand supports the strengthening of United Nations leadership and coordination on peacebuilding.”

  23. “On behalf of the Government and the people of Thailand, I wish to warmly congratulate the delegation of Uganda upon its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of July. I would like also, Sir, to express our sincere appreciation for your leadership in convening this timely Security Council debate on the very important issue of post-conflict peacebuilding. Like other delegations that took the floor earlier, the Government of Thailand shares the commitment of the international community to this critical issue and stands ready to work with partners to advance the agenda for the benefit of people on the ground. In this connection, my delegation would like to take this opportunity to share our views on the issue with the Council.”
