“The United Nations funds and programmes play a key role in that regard. In taking stock of the activity of the Commission in 2012, I would like to express my appreciation to the Permanent Representative of Bangladesh, Mr. Abulkalam Momen, for his work as Chair ofthe PBC. The past year has been eventful for the Commission, and we welcome the results it has achieved. A number of challenges for the future were identified in the Commission's report (S/2013/63). The programme is ambitious and aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of the Commission's work in coordinating international peacebuilding efforts and in formulating recommendations to ensure continuous coordinated international assistance to the countries on its agenda, as well as the streamlining of its working methods.”

“It is clear that formulas that work well in some contexts do not always work well in others. In that connection, we would like to underscore once again the importance of the responsibility of national Governments for the peacebuilding process and in determining priorities, as well as the need to precisely determine peacebuilding assistance, tailoring it to the needs of individual States during the specific time frame. It is counterproductive to promote the most recent trends in peacebuilding, especially those based on a universal model, at the expense of the pressing needs of States. There is no doubt that peacebuilding is a political process. However, it is also clear that assistance for economic development, addressing pressing social problems and job creation can mitigate political conflicts.”

“therefore, make full use ofits potential. In that regard, it is essential that the Commission find solutions that are acceptable and supported by all its members. The key to that is to improve its standing and increase, commensurately, the interest in its work by the broader international community. Much remains to be done to optimize and improve the results of the Commission's activity. In a number of countries on its agenda, significant results have been achieved in terms of alleviating the causes of conflicts, strengthening State institutions and coordinating and mobilizing resources. However, there are also the examples of Guinea-Bissau and the Central African Republic, where we see a drastic deterioration of the situation. In those cases, peacebuilding was clearly insufficient.”

“In our support for the work of the Peacebuilding Commission as one of the central intergovernmental bodies for coordinating peacebuilding assistance, we note the added value represented by the valuable consultative assistance it gives to the Security Council, when requested, concerning countries on the Council's agenda. Within its existing mandate, the Commission should contribute to dealing with important crosscutting issues relating to peacebuilding that are relevant to the entire United Nations system and that require comprehensive discussion with Member States within the framework of United Nations specialized entities. Russia is an active participant in the activity of the PBC and is committed to improving its effectiveness. We are convinced that the Commission is a unique intergovernmental body and that we should.”

“In our view, therefore, the relevant United Nations entities should implement their peacebuilding activities on the basis of their mandates in order to ensure the necessary legal basis for their own actions. Complying with the principles ofrespect for the sovereignty ofpost- conflict States and recognizing national responsibility and national priorities for peacebuilding should be absolute imperatives. The Government of the country concerned, representing the interests of the whole of society, must play a leading role in providing that responsibility.”

“The mobilization of international aid must be coordinated, so that it deals with the principal problems and supplements national efforts. As far as the United Nations is concerned, we are obliged, unfortunately, to conclude that, despite all the efforts of peacekeeping missions, peacebuilding offices and Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) country configurations, aid to post-conflict countries remains fragmentary. The importance of improving coordination and the division of labour between participants in the process, and of systematizing the peacebuilding processes, is obvious. The existing architecture's potential is far from being fully realized.”

“Mr. Churkin (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The chief task of peacebuilding is to eliminate the root causes of conflicts and preventing their resurgence. All of that must be primarily based on States' internal efforts, since in that area the role of the United Nations and regional organizations is one of support for national efforts. Peacebuilding assistance, given its long-term nature, should provide incentives for national Governments to rely on their own strengths. In that context, aid can be multidimensional and can extend to diverse areas: reaching and implementing peace agreements; stabilizing security; strengthening Government institutions, human rights, the rule of law and national reconciliation; and aid to development.”

“The activity of MINUSMA must be backed by tangible and palpable political processes, which would include political dialogue between the main Malian sides.”

“That is why we believe that MINUSMA's mandate excludes offensive or counter-terrorism operations. Such actions would be counter to the basic principles of peacekeeping. In the preamble to the resolution just adopted, the unshakeability of such principles was once again affirmed. We believe that using Blue Helmets for the tasks involved in arresting those accused by the International Criminal Court, including through the use of force, is not part of United Nations peacekeeping and carries a number of risks for the peacekeepers, who could find themselves required to take part in actions that should be conducted by specially trained troops. It is quite clear here that a military solution does not exist for the Mali crisis.”

“In the context of the resolution adopted today, as well as the recently adopted resolution 2098 (2013) regarding the deployment of an Intervention Brigade within the framework of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we are disturbed by the growing shift towards the military aspects of United Nations peacekeeping. What was once the exception now threatens to become unacknowledged standard practice, with unpredictable and unclear consequences for the security of United Nations personnel and their international legal status. In that connection, according to the situation clearly delineated in the Secretary-General's report on the situation in Mali (S/2013/189), there should be a clear boundary between peacekeeping and enforcing peace.”

“Mr. Churkin (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The Russian Federation voted in favour of resolution 2100 (2013) in View of the importance of increasing assistance to the Republic of Mali in its efforts to deal with a complex and comprehensive crisis, as well as in response to a request by the country's authorities, supported by the relevant regional organizations. In that regard, we would like to stress that the primary responsibility for resolving the current problems belongs to Malians themselves. Every action and task of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), whose deployment was decided on today, must be directed exclusively at providing assistance to the Malian authorities.”

“There is a need to step up the joint efforts to implement the agreements and to avoid being drawn into the dubious campaign to legalize structures that seek to replace the legitimate Government of Syria, especially at the United Nations, the mission of which is after all to be the guardian of international legality.”

“It is important to urge international humanitarian organizations and the Syrian Government to maintain the existing level of trust and constructive cooperation, preventing any undermining of that trust through artificial politicization of the humanitarian problem. The current priority is to force all warring sides to cease all violence, to take a seat at the negotiating table and to reach agreement on the creation of a transitional governing body as provided by the 30 June 2012 Geneva final communique of the Action Group for Syria (S/2012/523, annex).”

“In contravention of the objective of initiating political dialogue, a number of allies of the armed opposition have been secretly pushing an extremely harmful draft resolution on Syria in the General Assembly. We also urge Members not to yield to attempts to sidestep, on the basis of various pretexts, the investigation requested by the Syrian authorities regarding the alleged use of chemical weapons near Aleppo on 19 March. Unfortunately, the Secretariat has not shown the requisite consistency and transparency here. The increasing confrontation reaffirms the need for a rapid end to all violence, for the respect of human rights, for restoring the humanitarian situation and for assisting internally displaced persons and refugees in neighbouring States.”

“There is no need to be a prophet to understand that the money will invariably flow to the strongest armed groups, and that those are the radicals and extremists, including terrorists affiliated with Al-Qaida, namely Jabhat Al-Nusra, which holds a great many of the oil-rich areas outside Syrian Government control. Also alarming is the readiness of number of States to supply illegal groups in Syria with arms, which, after all, risk ending up in the hands of terrorists raging around the territory of the country. If the idea of all-out war to the bitterest of ends, fueled by an aggressive minority of the international community, prevails, that will only further degrade the situation and lead to the growth in terrorist activity, including in neighbouring countries.”

“That bears witness to nothing more than the fact that either its leaders are simply untrustworthy or they simply do not control the situation. After all, the incident took place along the Turkish border in the so-called liberated territory, which have been receiving generous outside assistance. We are puzzled by the European Union's decision to allow the import of oil and oil products from those territories, regardless of how hard the authors of the dangerous decision - disregarding the norms of international law and the principle of international sovereignty - try to present their actions as a gesture of support for moderate opposition.”

“We are convinced that the relaunch of the negotiations process and transcending the accumulated mistrust can be served by a ministerial meeting of the Quartet, preferably with the involvement of Arab States and with the participation of Israelis and Palestinians. The events in the Syrian Arab Republic have been unfolding according to a tragic scenario. We decisively condemn the siege by armed opposition fighters of the Aleppo metropolitan bishops of the Greek and Syrian Orthodox Churches. That criminal provocation again confirms the extremists' designs to fan the flames of ethnic and religious division. That was done just two days following the national coalitions in Istanbul, which presented a declaration guaranteeing equal rights for minorities, including religious minorities.”

“We note the substantial contribution of the departing Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, Mr. Salam Fayyad, who was working to establish Palestinian statehood. The international community must remember that economic progress simply is not sustainable as a result of continuing occupation and the dangerous impasse around the Middle Eastern settlement. In regard to the restoration of Palestinian unity, based on the Palestine Liberation Organization platform, that is not only an important factor for success in the negotiations process, but it is also a guarantee for the implementation of possible peace agreements.”

“We urge all interested parties to abide by the November 2012 ceasefire agreements between the Israelis and the groups active in Gaza, and on that basis, to move towards a complete lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip. It is important to avoid any steps impeding the search for ways to unblock the Palestinian-Israeli settlement process as a whole. At the same time, the parties must make efforts to restore and strengthen mutual trust. Especially important in that regard is, in our view, the halting of settlement activities and the resolution of pressing humanitarian issues, including those related to the violation of international humanitarian law with regard to Palestinian detainees and prisoners. We welcome the agreements achieved leading to the suspension of the hunger strike by a Palestinian detainee.”

“We agree that terrorism should be fought mercilessly. However, the use of force against civilians, the violation of human rights and the violation of international humanitarian law are also unacceptable. We restate our conviction of the principle that active assistance is needed to get negotiations and contacts between Israelis and Palestinians to resume. Negotiations must be resumed without preconditions, but on the well-known internationally recognized basis that is spelled out, inter alia, in the statement of the Quartet of international mediators dated 23 September 2011, which was reaffirmed in the statement following the outcome of the Group of Eight Summit in London on 11 April of this year. Renewed armed confrontation and violence are all deadly for any resumption of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.”

“Mr. Churkin (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): The situation with regard to the settlement of the crises in the Middle East remains quite fragile. That was confirmed yet again by the renewed tension in early April when Palestinian fighters from Gaza fired rockets at Israeli territory, and the Israeli Air Force, in response, struck the Gaza Strip. In recent days, the situation in the West Bank deteriorated quite seriously when demonstrations, following the death of a Palestinian detainee, led to clashes with Israeli soldiers. Fortunately, that did not turn into yet another large-scale wave of violence. That fragile situation, of course, is grounds for our deep concern. We affirm our condemnation of all terrorist manifestations, including the firing of rockets at the south of Israel.”

“In conclusion, we would again like to emphasize that the efforts of the international community will be in vain without the consent and active participation of national Governments, which bear the primary responsibility for dealing with the whole range of problems surrounding the protection of peoples in armed conflict.”

“We do not see a need for establishing a special procedure or body for monitoring the compliance of parties to a conflict with obligations to combat sexual violence. As we see it, the current mechanisms in this area are sufficient. First among those is the Special Representative of the Secretary- General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, while the Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict also plays a significant role. As I stated previously, we believe issues of sexual violence must be considered in the Security Council only in the context of the agenda item on women and peace and security, and in connection with the subject of the maintenance of peace and security.”
2013-04-17 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6948 (2013) · source
“It is striking that, in a significant number of the cases cited in the report of sexual violence in various parts of the world, the issue at times is not one of trends or systematic practices of sexual violence but of isolated incidents. Further investigation of many such incidents reveals that they are more likely to be criminally punishable acts committed by criminal groups, rather than war crimes. The scope of the work done under Security Council auspices in this area was agreed to based on an intergovernmental process and enshrined in the relevant Council resolutions. We therefore feel that it involves the onsideration of issues relating to sexual violence in armed conflict. We appeal to the Special Representative to adhere to the Council's mandate in carrying out her work.”

“As we see it, in order to set up a genuinely credible discussion of such a sensitive issue, it is essential to act dispassionately, based on objective and reliable information. For instance, responsibility for sexual crimes in Syria is laid at the door only of the Government forces and their supporters. Analogous crimes committed by representatives of the opposition are touched on only in passing, despite the numerous assertions that have been made about them. The principle behind the selection of the countries mentioned in various sections of the report is unclear. For instance, in the section on current and emerging concerns regarding sexual violence as it relates to international peace and security, besides countries that are on the Council's agenda, situations in a number of other States are also highlighted.”

“Combating sexual Violence is also an important component of the range of measures needed in peace processes and post-conflict restoration. This type of crime is not a root cause of armed conflict, but rather a result of prevailing impunity. We believe that crimes committed require mandatory punishment, whether they be acts of sexual violence, terrorism or indiscriminate or disproportionate force. After all, the victims of all such acts are totally innocent people. We have studied with interest the report of the Secretary-General for this meeting (S/2013/149). The first thing that strikes us is the document's thoroughness and the scale of the work done by the Special Representative. However, the contents of the document raises some questions.”
2013-04-17 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6948 (2013) · source
“Moreover, questions concerning combating sexual violence, depending on the context and within the framework of existing mandates, are handled not only by the Council but by other United Nations organs, particularly the General Assembly, the Human Rights Council and the Commission on the Status of Women. Artificially linking every issue of sexual violence to the work of the Security Council would lead not only to an imbalance from the standpoint of system-wide coordination but would have a negative impact on the effectiveness of work in that area. We believe that priority attention should be given to those situations on the Security Council's agenda where sexual violence is one of the primary issues in terms of the protection of civilians.”
2013-04-17 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6948 (2013) · source
“Unquestionably, sexual violence must be roundly condemned and severely punished. We believe this problem is very real, particularly in specific conflict situations where such crimes are becoming increasingly widespread. However, as we know, not all such situations pose a threat to international peace and security requiring intervention on the part of the Security Council. Because of that, we feel that issues relating to preventing and combating sexual violence at every stage of armed conflict or post-conflict situations are primarily the responsibility of national Governments.”

“Mr. Churkin (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): We would like to once again welcome you, Madam Minister, as you preside over this meeting, which we thank you for organizing. We would also like to express our gratitude to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflicts, Ms. Bangura. As we can see, thanks to her persistence and commitment to the goal of eradicating sexual violence, the Special Representative has managed, in less than a year, to do quite a bit. The consideration of the issues relating to women and peace and security should be based on a comprehensive approach, as set forth in the Council's baseline resolution on the matter, namely, resolution 1325 (2000). The varied nature of the violence that occurs during armed conflict requires that attention be paid to all its manifestations.”

“Another important factor is the cooperation between the Organization and African subregional organizations. As a permanent member of the Security Council, Russia is making a significant contribution to the development of strategies for the international community and practical measures to strengthen peace and security in Africa, including the prevention of conflicts. We are providing consistent political support to the appropriate forces of the African community. We are prepared to continue to contribute to the strengthening of the African continent's ability to combat crises, including through the training of African peacekeepers and law enforcement officials in Russian institutions. We are convinced that any obstacles to preventing conflict can best be overcome through partnership.”

“The African Peer Review Mechanism and the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance should be effective instruments to eradicate the root causes of conflict. Subregional organizations, including the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, the Economic Community of West African States, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Southern African Development Community and the Economic Community of Central African States, also make significant contributions to the prevention and resolution of conflicts. We support strengthening the partnership between the Security Council and the Peace and Security Council of the African Union to resolve crises. We further support the continuing development of cooperation between the United Nations and the African Union in other formats as well.”

“It is important to adopt comprehensive and consistent measures to prevent the development of illegal armed groups and strengthen good neighbourly relations; to expand cooperation in order to ensure border security; to prevent the spread of conflicts, arms or mercenaries across borders; to ensure effective State Governments; to combat poverty and mass unemployment, especially among youth; and to combat corruption. That list could be continued. We welcome the increasing activity of the African Union and subregional organizations in Africa to prevent conflict on the continent. A central role in those efforts is played by the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, the Continental Early Warning System and the Panel of the Wise. We attach great importance to the African Standby Force.”

“Regional and subregional organizations, in turn, can often have the best knowledge of the situation within their areas of responsibility and, in many cases, have more customized preventive diplomacy mechanisms that take into account the local specifics. There has also certainly been no change to the Charter of the United Nations, which gives the Security Council the leading role in maintaining international peace and security. In orderto prevent conflicts in Africa, the inhabitants of the continent need to play a key role themselves.”

“Russia considers it very important to continue to use of the provisions of Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations while encouraging regional and subregional organizations to take initiatives in the areas of preventive diplomacy and the peaceful settlement of disputes. That chapter encourages Member States to prioritize measures aimed at preventing conflicts, ranging from the use of local instruments through the use of the Security Council. The United Nations and regional organizations are called upon to complement each other by using their objective comparative advantages. For the United Nations, its strength is, first of all, the universal nature of its work and membership, as well as its universally recognized legitimacy.”

“Any assistance from international partners in that area should not be imposed. The same holds true for the duplication of efforts and, especially, competition by non-regional forces, which are counterproductive. The successful prevention of conflicts, in particular in Africa, depends on the skilful use of a number of specific tools, including early warning and response, preventive diplomacy, mediation, good offices, reconciliation and confidence-building measures. Significant return is reaped by investing in conflict prevention and by strengthening the capacity of the United Nations, both in logistical and intellectual terms.”

“In that regard, it is clear that the focus should be placed primarily on broadly overcoming the many political, social, economic and humanitarian problems that are compounded by a host of new transnational challenges and threats. They include international terrorism, religious extremism, organized crime, drug trafficking, the illegal arms trade and the illegal exploitation of natural resources. Of course, that list is far from complete. Quick and simple solutions to the main challenges in the area of conflict prevention do not exist. A balanced strategy that takes into account the relationship between security, social and economic development and human rights must be developed. At same time, we believe that the primary responsibility for the prevention of conflicts in Africa lies with the inhabitants ofthe continent themselves.”

We are grateful to the delegation of Rwanda for convening this meeting on this very important topic, namely, the prevention of conflicts in Africa by addressing the root causes. Undoubtedly, that issue is crucial to the maintenance of international peace and security. In recent years the United Nations as a whole, the Security Council, the leadership of the Secretariat and many regional and subregional organizations have carried out significant work in identifying the causes of conflicts and preventing them, including those on the African continent.”

On behalf of our delegation, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the members ofthe Council, especially my colleagues the Permanent Representatives and their staffs, as well as to the Secretariat, for the support they have given us during Russia's presidency. It has indeed been a busy month, and one in which we succeeded in reaching consensus on several important issues within our purview. We could not have achieved those results alone or without the hard work of support and constructive cooperation by every delegation and the representatives of the Secretariat, as well as the interpreters, translators, meeting services staff and sound engineers. As we end our presidency, I know I speak on behalf of the Council in wishing the Rwandan delegation success in the month of April.”

“An important step in reinstating stability in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region as a whole was the transfer, on 24 March, of Bosco Ntaganda and his referral to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. That will help promote a settlement of the root causes of the conflict, including the elimination of the culture of impunity, in particular with respect to those responsible for atrocities and crimes against humanity. In conclusion, I would like to underscore that Russia will continue to provide support to the people and Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in resolving the tasks before it. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to the representative of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

“Moreover, it was important to us that the mandate of the future brigade and the remaining contingents of the Mission be carefully limited. That provides the opportunity to observe the basic United Nations peacekeeping principles on supporting peace, rather than forcing or imposing peace, and to ensure the security of peacekeepers. However, we feel that the fundamental responsibility to resolve the situation is borne by the Congolese Government itself. There is a need to comprehensively reform the security sector, bolster the capacity of the national army, which, in the end, must undertake all responsibilities for the protection of civilians, and ensure the territorial integrity of the country.”
