“Furthermore, it is essential to support and preserve a certain degree of diversity in terms of the countries that contribute to those operations in order to safeguard their legitimacy, which is why reimbursing African Union operations at an adequate and sustainable level is fundamental. On the other hand, regional arrangements among developed countries should not unnecessarily drain resources from United Nations peacekeeping missions, which already cost less than 1 per cent of the world's annual military budget. Thirdly, we should be conscious that coordination and unity of purpose are not easy to achieve when we put two or more international entities together. While the goal of peace and security, founded on respect for human rights and solidarity, must be our compass, pragmatic considerations are also important.”

“In no way should cooperation in peacekeeping be understood as an outsourcing of the Council's authority or an endorsement of doctrines of military alliances that define their sphere of action beyond their members' territory. Secondly, policy decisions should not be driven by financial constraints. The arguments at the two extremes - that transferring responsibilities to regional organizations can help reduce the peacekeeping budget, or, conversely, that their efforts should be integrally backed by United Nations financial resources - tend to put financial considerations before the political and humanitarian foundations of any peacekeeping operation.”

“We commend the stabilization efforts that have recently been made by the African Union, with the support of subregional organizations, in Somalia, the Central African Republic and West Africa. Developing such cooperation, in Africa or elsewhere, requires that some principles be followed. First, United Nations collaboration with regional and subregional organizations should enable the Security Council to better exercise its primary responsibility for the maintenance of peace and security across the globe. In that process, the Council should always respect and take into consideration the mandates and purposes of the various regional organizations.”

“The South American Defence Council has established an innovative coordination and cooperation mechanism for South American countries in matters of peace and security. Greater regional integration has been instrumental in encouraging many countries of the region to support the efforts of the United Nations to stabilize Haiti, the only country in the Americas where a United Nations peacekeeping mission is currently deployed. Today, Africa is the main locus of cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations. Brazil is a strong believer in the benefits of fostering African solutions to African problems. The same logic applies when we deal with peacekeeping operations on that continent.”

“Diplomacy and dialogue are essential to that View. As the useful concept note (S/2014/478, annex) circulated by the Rwandan delegation makes clear, the history of the relationship between the United Nations and regional organizations in conflict situations is not new. In the recent past, examples of their cooperation have taken place around the world, in varying forms and levels ofintensity. Brazil is convinced that harmonizing the purposes and actions of regional and international actors strengthens multilateral efforts towards peace. In my own region, the Union of South American Nations has in the past few years sought to build an institutional architecture that can help to promote peace, cooperation and stability.”

“I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for presiding over this very meaningful open debate on peacekeeping operations and their relations with regional organizations. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General, the Deputy Secretary General of the European External Action Service, Mr. Maciej Popowski, speaking on behalf of High Representative Catherine Ashton, and Ambassador Tete Antonio, Permanent Observer of the African Union to the United Nations, speaking on behalf of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission. In a world order forged collectively by our own actions, Brazil supports the creation of a multipolar system based on cooperation, devoid of unilateralism and exceptionalism; an order founded on the primacy of multilateralism and aimed at seeking peaceful solutions to the challenges faced by the Security Council.”

“In that regard, Brazil fully supports the legal conduct of presidential elections, as enshrined in the Lebanese Constitution, and urges all parties to cooperate in ensuring the success of the electoral process. Finally, Brazil reiterates its support for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), whose maritime task force has been led by a Brazilian commander since February 2011. UNIFIL has been instrumental in promoting stability in Lebanon and in preserving security along the border between Lebanon and Israel.”

“Brazil remains extremely concerned about the increased instability in Lebanon, whose people have lately been victims of a series of terrorist acts, a particularly perverse development given Lebanon's generosity in hosting a million Syrian refugees. We welcome the formation of a new Government, which, we are confident, will be able to shield the country from further instability and strengthen its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. We also call on the international community to keep up its support for Lebanon's State institutions, including the army, and we reaffirm our strong support for Lebanon's dissociation from the Syrian conflict, as set out in the Baabda Declaration. We urge all Lebanese political actors to avoid further escalation and to embrace the path of understanding.”

“The increasingly radical nature of some opposition armed groups, and the spillover effects in neighbouring countries, especially Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey, are also a matter for concern. Brazil reiterates its call for full, safe and unhindered humanitarian access to all those affected by violence in Syria, without politicization, as prescribed by resolution 2139 (2014). The Government of Syria bears the greatest responsibility in this regard, although the armed opposition must equally and fully comply with its humanitarian obligations. Invoking a humanitarian crisis to justify militarization can only intensify the suffering of the civilian population, especially its most vulnerable segments, and increase human rights violations. I would like to say a few words on Lebanon, to which Brazil is united by historical and cultural ties.”

“The immediate and full implementation of the Geneva final communique of 2012 (S/2012/523, annex) by all parties remains the most important goal, and we urge them to demonstrate a strong political will and firm commitment to that process. Brazil continues to support all efforts to resume contacts between the parties. National dialogue and reconciliation are key to ensuring that the elections in Syria will fully conform with the provisions of the final communique. Violations of human rights by both sides, consistently denounced by the Human Rights Council's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic, should be roundly condemned. Also in line with the Commission's reports, we reiterate our concern about the negative impact of unilateral sanctions on the living conditions of the Syrian people.”

“It is a grave mistake to assume that in the absence of a political solution the crisis should be resolved by using force. During the second Geneva Conference on Syria in January, Brazil called for an immediate end to the provision of weapons to all parties in Syria, among several measures. The continued militarization of the conflict only brings about more violence, instability and suffering. Today the number of internally displaced persons amounts to nearly one-fourth of Syria's residents. Approximately 15 per cent of Syria's total population are now refugees, not to mention the shocking number of fatal victims of the conflict. Disputes on other international fronts should not contaminate the common goal of attaining peace and promoting a Syrian-led political process.”

“The Council should take on a more proactive role and consider establishing basic parameters for the negotiations that are consistent with the extensive corpus of United Nations resolutions. In so doing it would strengthen respect for international law and exercise its authority and functions, as laid down in the Charter of the United Nations. On the occasion of the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we call on the interested parties committed to a two-State solution, particularly civil society, to join their efforts in trying to influence the leadership on both sides to shoulder their responsibilities in constructing an environment conducive to peace in the Middle East. Turning to Syria, Brazil is deeply troubled by the scale of the destruction and indifference to human suffering.”

“We welcome recent efforts to achieve intra-Palestinian unity, which is key to consolidating a democratic and sustainable Palestinian State, and we call on all parties to fully commit to the obligations assumed by Palestine. Due to the current state of paralysis in the negotiation process, no one can blame the State of Palestine for advancing its legitimate rights in multilateral forums. At a time when collective responsibility more necessary than ever, the international community risks also being rightly accused of omission in the case of Palestine. No early-warning conflict-prevention mechanism is needed to notice the Palestinians' appeal for the Security Council's attention.”

“Brazil notes with disappointment that Israel has not fulfilled its previous undertaking to release a final group of Palestinian prisoners. The continuation of the settlement campaign in the occupied State of Palestine, including East Jerusalem, is particularly harmful. We reiterate that settlements are illegal under international law and detrimental to the peace process. They undermine the prospects for a negotiated solution to the conflict and seriously threaten the viability of a two- State solution. We also strongly condemn the acts of violence against Israeli civilians and rockets launched from Gaza into Israel, which are contrary to the cause of peace, erode confidence and generate more violence and distrust.”

“I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this open debate. I also thank Special Coordinator Robert Serry for his briefing, and the Permanent Representative of Israel and the Permanent Observer of Palestine for their statements. The nine-month deadline for signing a final status agreement between Israelis and Palestinians expires today, 29 April. In the absence of any progress, and despite wide international support of the commendable efforts of the United States, the realization of a two- State solution seems increasingly elusive. We are all losers in this situation. The disappointment of those who have engaged in the process in good faith is understandable. Failing to deal with the fundamental aspects of the question of Palestine in the present will only create greater challenges for the future.”

“In conclusion, Brazil would like to underline that the working methods of the Security Council cannot be entirely improved without a comprehensive reform of the body that brings the Council in line with today's geopolitical realities and make it truly capable of addressing the challenges of the twenty-first century. In this context, we welcome the initiative taken by the President of the General Assembly to establish an advisory group to draft a text that would serve as a basis for the intergovernmental negotiations in the General Assembly. This initiative has the potential to overcome the artificial delays imposed on negotiations and materialize the existing widespread political support for Council reform. As the General Assembly nears its seventieth session in 2015, concrete outcomes should finally be achieved on this important matter.”

“Such reporting has been seriously inadequate in situations such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where a more forthcoming approach and regular briefings by the Quartet are clearly due. We commend France for presenting a proposal regarding the use of veto. We believe that this is a clear demonstration of the necessity and urgency of considering substantive decisions to update the organ. The decision of Saudi Arabia not to take its seat on the Council until the organ is reformed is also very relevant to our discussions. It only reinforces the widely held view that the more we protract the unavoidable reform, the more often the Council will be confronted with the serious limitations that jeopardize its capacity to maintain international peace and security.”

“The Council's exercise of its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security should be informed by the principle that prevention is always the best policy to reduce the risk of armed conflict and the human costs associated with it. Let me take this opportunity to welcome the launching of the Accountability, Coherence and Transparency (ACT) group. Brazil shares with the group the understanding that reform of the working methods of the Security Council is much needed and commends the pragmatic and concrete approach that is being pursued by ACT. Since we are speaking of accountability, I must reiterate that when matters of the utmost interest to this Council are dealt with outside this body, the least we can expect is regular reporting.”

“We also welcome the expansion of consultation and cooperation with relevant regional and subregional organizations, in accordance with Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations. As we have stated in the past, the interpretation and implementation of Council decisions is an important part ofthe discussions regarding working methods. The establishment of objective parameters, especially when the use of coercive measures is contemplated, would clearly contribute to increasing the accountability and effectiveness of Council decisions, and to avoiding the loose interpretations of mandates. We also encourage the Security Council to dedicate more of its time and efforts to preventive diplomacy.”

“Substantive and interactive briefings with Member States offer an opportunity to all interested delegations to provide inputs to the work of those bodies. It is imperative to strengthen the relationship between the Security Council and other United Nations bodies. Closer cooperation is needed not only with the General Assembly, but also with the Economic and Social Council and the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC). Brazil believes that the PBC's advisory role to the Security Council has not been explored to its full capacity. Greater interaction between the two bodies could be fostered. We once again encourage the participation of the Chairs of PBC configurations in the Council's debates and consultations.”

“It is disappointing that, although binding on all Member States, Security Council decisions seldom are discussed with the openness desired by the majority of the membership. In line with the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations, it is important to allow all United Nations Members to express their views and to influence decisions whenever they may have a special interest in substantive matters under consideration by the Council. Encouraging the wider participation of the membership in the Security Council's deliberations is the path to enhancing the legitimacy, credibility and effectiveness of its decisions. Greater transparency is also much needed in the activities of the Council's subsidiary organs.”

“We expect that those sessions can gradually become more open to the effective participation of non-members. Monthly discussions of the Council's work are a valuable tool for the broader membership to have a better understanding of its deliberations and of the issues on its agenda. Since it is of utmost importance to enhance the transparency of the Council's work, Brazil believes that the Security Council should meet as often as possible in public. We reiterate our understanding that private meetings should be reserved for exceptional circumstances. Furthermore, it is our belief that the Security Council should consult more regularly - formally or informally - with non-members.”

“It is of utmost importance that the views of the troop- and police-contributing countries be fully taken into account by the Council. For this to happen, consultations with them should be held as early as possible in the negotiation of mandate renewals of peacekeeping missions. My country has long advocated for a Security Council that is more transparent, efficient, inclusive, accountable and accessible to the broader membership. The Security Council acts on behalf of all United Nations Members and has the political responsibility to maintain a permanent and meaningful dialogue with the whole membership. Therefore, we welcome the fact that the holding of wrap-up sessions at the end of each presidency is becoming a regular practice among Council members.”

“I thank you, Sir, for convening this important open debate on the working methods of the Security Council and for circulating the concept note that guides our discussions today (S/2013/613, annex). Allow me to also take this opportunity to congratulate Ambassador Maria Cristina Perceval on Argentina's leadership in the Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions. Brazil welcomes the adoption of presidential note S/2013/515 and the commitments of Council members therein to increasing the efficiency and the transparency of the Council's work, as well as to improve dialogue with non-Council members and other bodies. We also welcome the adoption of presidential note S/2013/630, which encourages a more interactive dialogue between Council members and troop and police-contributing countries.”

“Brazil also expects that the Quartet, whose statement of 27 September was a welcome development after a long period of silence, report regularly to the Security Council. In order to provide broader support for the first serious effort at a comprehensive resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in such a long time, serious consideration should be given to the establishment of a support group to the Quartet, with wider geographical representation. The current negotiation process presents an opportunity that must not be missed. Brazil has been emphasizing the importance of listening to Israeli and Palestinian civil societies. A number of organizations from both sides can contribute significantly to galvanizing the political will for peace.”

“The continuing settlement activities and settler violence against civilians in Palestine constitute violations of international law. They are contrary to the required improvement of the atmosphere for negotiations to reach a successful outcome and harmful to the two-State solution itself. Brazil condemned the recent launches of rockets and mortar shells from Gaza and Syria into Israel. We welcome Israel's decision to release Palestinian prisoners and encourage Israel to set free a new group, as soon as possible. In that context, there is even more reason to call on the Security Council to fully exercise its functions with regard to the Palestinian question and provide support for the peace process.”

“Let me also express Brazil's strong support for the policy of Lebanon, under President Michel Sleiman, of dissociation from the Syrian conflict. Brazil welcomes the resumption of direct final-status negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, and commends the efforts ofUnited States Secretary of State Kerry to that effect. We hope that the current talks will lead to the realization of the two- State solution based on the 1967 borders, and call on the parties to adhere to the agreed upon time frame of nine months to reach a comprehensive peace agreement. We underscore that the process must lead to a final peace agreement, not an interim one. To that end, it is Brazil's expectation that negotiations deal with all main subjects.”

“The Government in Damascus bears the largest share of responsibility for the cycle of violence that has victimized a large number of civilians, especially women, children and youth. It is the duty of the Government to protect its citizens. We are also aware of the responsibilities of the armed opposition. In the same vein, in line with the findings contained in the report of the independent international commission of inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic (A/HRC/21/50), we reiterate our grave concern at the negative impact of unilateral sanctions on the living conditions of the Syrian people. We praise the efforts of neighbouring countries to host Syrian refugees and underscore the principle of burden-sharing.”

“All parties should seize the new impetus and follow the path of a negotiated political solution that takes into consideration the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people. The Geneva communique should be implemented as a matter of urgency. Brazil renews its support for Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi, as well as for the prompt convening of the "Geneva II" conference. In that regard, we consider that, in addition to regional stakeholders, other players who could contribute to the success of the conference should be invited to participate. We renew our condemnation of all violations of human rights and international humanitarian law by all parties and call for immediate humanitarian access to those in need.”

“The Syrian Government must continue to cooperate fully with the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in the implementation of its obligations. The opposition must also cooperate. In case of non-compliance, it is clear from the text of resolution 2118 (2013) that authorization for measures under Chapter VII can be contemplated only through a new Security Council resolution. We reiterate our belief that there is no military solution to the conflict, and call for the cessation of all arms supply to all parties to the Syrian conflict. While welcoming the effort towards the elimination of chemical weapons, we must not forget that the brunt of civilian deaths in Syria is caused by conventional weapons, which continue to flow.”

“Brazil welcomes the convergence of views between the United States and Russia that generated momentum for the adoption of resolution 2118 (2013) and led to the endorsement of the final communique of the Geneva Action Group of June 2012 (S/2012/523, annex). Brazil unequivocally condemns the use of chemical weapons in Syria and the ensuing loss of lives. We welcome the Syrian Government's decision to accede to the Chemical Weapons Convention and to apply it immediately. As one of the original signatories of the Convention, we will continue to press for the universalization of that instrument and urge those countries that have not yet adhered to do so at the earliest possible date.”

“I thank you, Sir, for convening this open debate. I also thank Under- Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman for his briefing and the Permanent Representative of Israel and the Permanent Observer of the Observer State of Palestine for their statements. Since the most recent open debate on this item in July (see S/PV.7007), encouraging political developments have taken place in the Middle East. After years of procrastination and virtual paralysis, a new dynamic may be emerging as a prospect for progress on the Syrian and on the Israeli-Palestinian tracks appears. On the Syrian crisis, a military intervention has been avoided by diplomacy. It is hard to reconcile the need to protect civilians in Syria with the option of a military solution, which would in all likelihood only trigger more suffering and instability.”

“They enhance agricultural and rural development, improve food security and help reduce poverty levels in their communities, thereby contributing to the promotion of sustainable development with social inclusion and food security, which are key to attaining sustainable peace. When empowered, women can have an important positive impact on the lives of the individuals in their societies, particularly in countries emerging from conflict. The Security Council is called on to continue to make sure that such impact is fully felt in all relevant situations on its agenda.”

“In many circumstances, knowing the truth about the Violations committed against women is central to achieving national reconciliation. Transitional justice also plays a significant role in ensuring that the permanent justice structure to be established will take the interests of women into account in its foundations. Important structural gender asymmetries curb the options of women in most societies. Rural women, in particular, have their potential as agents of peace hindered, since they benefit less than men from the wealth created by rural employment and face new challenges owing to the impact of the still ongoing economic crisis. Yet, rural women are key contributors to global economies, playing a critical role in both developed and developing nations.”

“Viewed from different points of View, such as the number of women delegates and mediators; the numbers, substance and relative importance of provisions in peace agreements; and post-conflict strategies or policies, women's participation in peace and security is still insufficient. Brazil believes that supporting and promoting women's participation in the maintenance of international peace and security is an increasingly important aspect of the Security Council's responsibility under the Charter. In that vein, we encourage further reflection and debates on the role of women in promoting the prevention and peaceful settlement of disputes. In post-conflict situations, transitional justice can be an important tool to shape a better future for women.”

“In that regard, we are proud to celebrate, in 2013, the twenty- fifth year of the Brazilian Constitution, whereby we acknowledged the centrality of social and economic rights in the context of the rule of law and human rights. The participation of women in conflict resolution and mediation processes not only contributes to the elaboration ofbalanced rules in post-conflict situations, but is also an important factor in achieving sustainable peace. Unfortunately, there is a long way to go before women are fully and duly integrated into national and multilateral peace efforts around the world.”

“It is warranted that we also focus on the importance of furthering the equal rights of women and their right to equal participation in decision-making processes. The rule of law makes available to vulnerable groups, such as women, normative tools that promote their empowerment and emancipation. It is essential to uphold the equal rights of women by ensuring their full participation in governing institutions and the judicial system. We must reaffirm the need to establish a legislative framework that secures their full access to justice. Brazil embraces a comprehensive notion of the rule of law that embodies a number of principles and experiences. We are convinced that the rule of law and development are strongly interrelated and mutually reinforcing. The rule of law is intimately connected to the realization of social and economic rights.”

“The tendency to rush to military solutions runs contrary to the idea of the protection of civilians, since the use of force aggravates the risks to the most vulnerable and further penalizes civilians, in particular women and children. The Security Council's engagement with the issue of women and peace and security has greatly contributed to our common efforts to improve the lives of women in conflict situations around the world. The resolutions adopted by the Council have created a comprehensive body of norms and stimulated progress on the protection and promotion of women's rights. The scourge of sexual Violence in armed conflict has rightly been the subject of attention by the Council.”

Brazil is also grateful for the briefing by Ms. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka as Executive Director of UN Women. She can count on our full support in dealing with the challenges ahead. We thank the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Navi Pillay, for her presentation. Let me also thank the representative of the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security for her intervention. It is widely acknowledged that in situations of conflict, the most vulnerable, women included, are those who suffer the most. That makes prevention especially important.”
