“It is also noteworthy that the Peacebuilding Fund has allocated significant resources to incorporating the gender perspective in the projects it funds. The implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) is not the exclusive province of the Security Council or of the United Nations system; it is also incumbent upon the international community as a whole. In that respect, the formulation and development of a national action plan is crucial. Chile has had such a plan in place since 2009. By involving a broad swath of civil society in its development, and by incorporating the Secretary- General's earlier recommendations, we designed an integrated action plan that brings together, as effectively as possible, agencies charged with the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts, all with the comprehensive inclusion of a gender perspective.”

“One important aspect that has been highlighted is the need for increased participation by women in political processes, particularly in mediation and in peacekeeping and peacebuilding operations. In that respect, the meeting organized by UN-Women in the context of the sixty- sixth session of the General Assembly on women and political participation takes on particular importance. My delegation feels that the meeting should be replicated at the regional, national and local levels. With regard to the peacebuilding process, Chile notes the work of the Peacebuilding Commission and the vision of gender equality that the Commission has brought to its work, in keeping with the resolutions that led to its creation.”

“Michelle Bachelet, Under-Secretary-General for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women. There can be no doubt that the establishment of UN-Women constitutes a milestone in the defence of the rights and the protection of women. In June, Under- Secretary-General Bachelet submitted to Member States a first strategic plan, which my country fully supports. Eleven years after the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), the Council has continued to make progress in providing guidelines on strengthening the protection of women in situations of armed conflict. To that end, in 2008, the Council adopted resolution 1820 (2008), which noted that attacks on women in armed conflicts continued to occur. On 16 December 2010, the Council adopted resolution 1960 (2010).”

“Mr. Errazuriz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation would like to thank you, Madam, for convening this important meeting on women, peace and security. We endorse the statement made by the representative of Switzerland on behalf of the States members of the Human Security Network. My delegation thanks Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his comprehensive report (S/2011/598*) and strategic framework for the period 2011-2020. The report reveals that while progress has been made in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), the situation of women in conflict and post-conflict situations has nevertheless not improved significantly. We therefore welcome the strategic framework proposed by the Secretary-General for the period 2011-2020. Likewise, my delegation welcomes the briefing by Ms.”

“In conclusion, I would like to reiterate Chile's readiness to continue to cooperate with the international community and Haitian authorities in the search for lasting peace, including full respect for human rights and strengthening the rule of law and democracy, and genuine progress in the level of development for its population.”

“Local participation in the design, implementation and assessment of projects allows the beneficiaries to assume ownership and helps gradually to generate local capacity, consecrating the concept of national ownership and, hence, sustainable results. Chile agrees with the Secretary-General's recommendation concerning the reduction of troops and police personnel to the levels authorized prior to the earthquake, and concerning the renewal of MINUSTAH'S mandate. We also agree that there is a need to begin to develop Haiti's institutional capacities so that it can gradually take over more national reconstruction responsibilities.”

“Similarly, as noted by Ambassador Fernandez Amunategui, we believe it important to favour quality over quantity in police training. We take this opportunity to highlight in particular the ongoing commitment of Latin America to the future of Haiti. Our countries have sought to work together on sustainable and coherent strategies to optimize our contribution to the peacekeeping Mission and to training and cooperation programmes with the Haitian National Police. Our experience has taught us the importance of maintaining a fluid dialogue with the Haitian authorities and to give priority to projects that can be implemented by local administrations, despite the difficulties encountered.”

“Political stability and security are crucial to achieving that objective, and we therefore consider it essential that programmes be implemented that can help alleviate current levels of unemployment in Haiti. Any progress made will be sterile if we are not able to mitigate the country's unemployment problem. Chile's contributions to Haiti's socio-economic development are focused on police training, education, child care, rural development, the environment, health and housing. Chile attaches great importance to the training of police in Haiti and reaffirms its commitment to continuing to work with the Haitian authorities in that area. In that respect, we consider it important to define the police model that we wish to implement, as well as the most urgent needs to be addressed.”

“Seven years after MINUSTAH began its work, and despite last year's earthquake, we can see some success and progress. At the same time, alarming uncertainties and serious challenges have arisen in various areas, including the establishment of the rule of law and an effective and productive political and judicial system. We congratulate the people of Haiti on their recent peaceful democratic elections and on the progress that has been made in the area of security. We call on the political authorities to reach the national agreement necessary to ensuring that the international force can adequately perform its tasks. We also consider it essential to redouble efforts in the socio- economic sphere in order to promote comprehensive development in Haiti.”

“Mr. Errazuriz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile thanks you, Madame, for having convened this meeting, offering us a further opportunity to consider the situation in Haiti, and the most recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2011/540) on the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). I should also like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Haiti, Mr. Mariano Fernandez Amunategui, for his informative briefing, and to reiterate my country's support for his work leading cooperation in that Caribbean nation and to help its authorities in their efforts towards long-term development. I further reiterate the commitment we made in February 2004 to the stabilization and peacebuilding processes in Haiti, and to MINUSTAH's work in promoting security, stability and the strengthening of institutions.”

“In that regard, we believe it essential to move towards establishing a broad and legally binding agreement on climate change. At the same time, our country believes that agreement in the negotiations on the Kyoto Protocol must be reached as soon as possible in order to avoid a gap between the first and the second commitment periods under that instrument.”

“International cooperation, the exchange of relevant information and increased support for scientific research are essential to the pursuit of basic solutions to this serious issue, which also includes other extremely serious phenomena, such as increasing desertification, among others, that affect various areas of our planet. Chile believes that we should reaffirm the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change as the fundamental instrument for addressing climate change. We recall its provisions, including recognizing that the global nature of climate change requires the broadest possible cooperation of all countries and their participation in an effective international response, in accordance with their common but different responsibilities, respective capacities and social and economic conditions.”

“Such phenomena are undeniable and serve to illustrate the threat to low-lying coastal States, in particular small island States. To those are added the issues of the possible displacement of populations or increased political tension. The debate on the possible security implications of climate change certainly cannot undermine the authority or mandates of relevant bodies, processes and instruments in addressing such an important issue. It should not deflect but strengthen the efforts of the international community in the areas of mitigation, adaptation and economic, social and environmental development, and should promote greater impetus in that regard.”

“It understands and supports their interest in resorting to the relevant bodies of the multilateral system to address current difficulties, given the danger they face from sea-level rise threatening their territory and the well-being of their citizens. The General Assembly addressed the issue of climate change and its possible security implications through its resolution 63/281 of 2009. The report of the Secretary-General prepared pursuant to that resolution acknowledged that climate change can be a "threat multiplier", in particular in situations of extreme poverty. Thus, on the Antarctic peninsula, for example, the Larsen ice shelf has been breaking up over the past two decades, while large ice masses have broken off from the western Antarctic.”

“Mr. Errazuriz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me to express my thanks for and to commend the report presented by the Secretary-General (A/64/350), as well as the very interesting and comprehensive presentation of Mr. Steiner. My country has strong ties of friendship with the Pacific island States, which can be seen in our close multilateral cooperation on issues including the law of the sea and the conservation and preservation of the marine environment, to which the Pacific small island States have made an undeniable contribution. I would like to warmly welcome the participation of the President of Nauru, His Excellency Mr. Marcus Stephen, and to thank him for his eloquent statement this morning. As a coastal Pacific State, Chile shares the concern of the Pacific island States.”

“This goes hand in hand with reparation, which could be provided in special facilities for education, health and so forth, including symbolic reparation as well. My country shares the Secretary-General's concern about the increase in attacks on hospitals and schools. In that regard, Chile calls on the parties to conflict to refrain from using any people - much less children - as human shields. Whatever the situation, attacking schools and hospitals is to be especially condemned. Lastly, Chile joins in calling on those States that have not yet ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict to do so.”

“This is a clear warning that we must work to improve access to education in a safe environment for children living in armed-conflict or post-conflict situations. Assistance in helping these children to recover must be provided through the appropriate channels and reach the families and communities, who are generally those most directly involved in the recovery process. Chile calls on those Governments suffering through armed conflict to make every possible effort, while taking necessary precautions, to establish channels of communication with the other actors in the conflict so as to keep children at a distance from the hardships of conflict and prevent their direct involvement in it. At the same time, justice must be done when children are involved and abused.”

“I also stress the growth of coordination with other United Nations agencies devoted to the protection of children once they have returned to society and have been reintegrated into the educational system. Special attention should be paid to the scars that the experience of violence has left them with, and of course even more attention and care are needed if they have been subject to sexual violence. 20 We share the concern, expressed in the Economic and Social Council ministerial declaration adopted yesterday in Geneva on implementing the internationally agreed goals and commitments in regard to education that "a large number of the world's out-of-school children live in States affected by armed conflict and natural disasters" (E/20]I/L.28*, para. 30).”

“The protection of children in general, and of those living in areas of armed conflict in particular, is a matter of special concern for my country, which is why Chile is a sponsor of resolution 1998 (2011), adopted by the Council today, and hopes to see it fully implemented. There is no doubt that the issue of the protection of children in armed conflict has made progress since the Security Council first included it on its agenda. The Secretary-General's decisive action in appointing a Special Representative for this area, and the efforts of that Special Representative, have contributed effectively to this progress. Moreover, the increased interaction between the latter and the Office of the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict should be emphasized, since they deal with two sides of the same coin.”

My delegation is grateful to the Secretary- General for his comprehensive and interesting report (S/201 1/250). We also thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Radhika Coomaraswamy, for the valuable information she shared with us today, and Mr. Anthony Lake, Executive Director of UNICEF, for his comprehensive briefing. Chile associates itself with the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Switzerland on behalf of the Human Security Network, of which Chile is a member.”

“Chile supports all those measures aimed at combating impunity, whether at the national or international levels. Civilians affected by violence in armed conflict have a right to reparations and compensation. In this regard, we must not neglect the value of symbolic reparations as a way of healing the wounds of societies in post-conflict countries. The situation of the civilian population in countries in crisis is of concern to us. Their physical and emotional well-being must be respected and the relevant channels for dialogue must be kept open, allowing for a political solution to be found, while ensuring respect for fundamental freedoms and human rights.”

“Respect for and implementation of international law and international humanitarian law are inextricably linked to combating impunity. Putting an end to impunity must be seen as part of a comprehensive approach in the search for a sustainable peace, justice, truth and national reconciliation. Concerted efforts are required to cooperate with national judicial mechanisms in order to develop their capacities and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice and tried in accordance with international standards. Restoring the rule of law, security sector reform and the mechanisms for transitional justice are key areas in which national systems must be strengthened and receive support through effective international cooperation. The International Criminal Court, as well as other tribunals and mixed courts, play an important complementary role.”

“Chile believes that a comprehensive approach is the most effective way to address and respond to threats to the safety of civilian populations in situations of armed conflict. We welcome not only the normative measures adopted but also those practices on the ground aimed at preventing and mitigating the effects of violence on civilians in armed conflict. It is important to enhance interaction between the host Government, the Security Council, troop- contributing countries and the Secretariat in order to reduce the gap between the decision-making process and the concrete implementation of those decisions on the ground. It is therefore also of great importance to overcome the major obstacles affecting peacekeeping operations, such as access to resources, teams and capacity-building, prior to deployment.”

“My country appreciates the measures adopted by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations to endow these forces with instruments, resources and codes of conduct suitable for effective action in this area. Today, almost all peacekeeping operations carry out tasks involving the protection of civilians, and eight of them have a specific mandate to provide physical protection. At the same time, peacekeeping operations today are multidimensional, with important components having to do with the protection of civilians such as human rights monitoring, humanitarian assistance, capacity-building, restoration of infrastructure and services, and security sector reform, among others.”

“As that has not always been possible, however, the Council has had to take the measures necessary to adequately protect civilians in conflict situations. The adoption of resolutions 1970 (2011) and 1973 (2011) on Libya responds to that need. The measures contemplated in those resolutions are adequate for the protection of civilians, and their implementation must also be so. When States cannot protect their civilians, the international community, through the United Nations, cannot remain indifferent to the fate of those whose rights are being seriously, systematically and repeatedly violated. Chile categorically recognizes the important work carried out by peacekeeping forces in the protection of civilians.”

“The Secretary-General has expressed particular concern regarding the protection of civilians and, within the Department of Political Affairs, has consolidated a conflict-prevention system that includes, among other measures, a mediation unit and provisions for collaboration between the Offices of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and of the Special Adviser on the Responsibility to Protect. Those initiatives have better positioned the Organization, the Council and the Secretary-General to identify potential conflicts and, if necessary, take appropriate measures to potentially prevent them. However, States themselves hold the primary responsibility for protecting their populations. They must create early warning and conflict detection mechanisms and adopt corresponding preventive measures.”

“Chile associates itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Switzerland on behalf of the Human Security Network, of which Chile is a member. In recent years, the United Nations has made significant progress in the protection of civilians in armed conflict. The Council has adopted a number of important resolutions, including resolution 1325 (2000) on the protection of women in armed conflict, the significance of which marked a milestone in efforts to address that issue. My country has developed its own national plan in that regard. The Council also adopted resolution 1960 (2011) establishing monitoring, analysis and reporting arrangements on conflict-related sexual violence.”

Unfortunately, that issue has been very much in the news and requires the attention of the United Nations. My delegation wishes to express its appreciation for the briefings given today by the Under-Secretary- General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations and the Assistant Secretary- General for Human Rights and Head of the New York Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.”

“In this case, my country also believes that, without neglecting the tasks of security, in a gradual and sustained manner, this Council is in an excellent position to help the United Nations system create appropriate conditions for the country's sustained and sustainable development, with full independence in the context of democracy and political stability and with strict adherence to the principle of national ownership that is suitable to the corresponding mandates so that, with an integrated focus, the required national capacities can be generated.”

Likewise, the case of Haiti is especially close to us - a sister nation confronting pressing challenges in its path to peace, political stability and economic and social development.”

“With regard to the recommendations of the co-facilitators of the 2010 Peacebuilding Commission review process, which have been approved in various Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, with a view to establishing and maintaining an informal and fluid dialogue between the Council and the Commission, my country believes that one concrete proposal could be to incorporate that dialogue into the Council's Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations. We know well that both peacekeeping and peacebuilding are two sides of the same coin. We are pleased that the presidential statement recognizes the need for coordination and dialogue with the Commission. Finally, I wish to highlight two emblematic cases. The first is Africa, which so many times has been an object of concern for this Council, and of sustained attention from Brazil.”

In the 2005 Summit Outcome, heads of State and Government recognized the need to establish the Peacebuilding Commission in order to help post- conflict States by providing a comprehensive perspective.”

“In such cases, underdevelopment, poverty, unemployment and social marginalization pose underlying challenges to a State's governance, stability and unity. The Council cannot ignore those aspects in adopting informed decisions in the search for sustainable peace. In that connection, it seems to us essential to point out that adequately addressing the interrelationship between security and development entails an effort in coordination and coherence of the actions of each United Nations body.”

“In that regard, the issue of development and a country's social conditions - whether with regard to the levels of unemployment, hunger or poverty - and the way we address those challenges are issues that should be taken into account and assessed by the Council when it authorizes mandates for peacekeeping operations. We agree with today's presidential statement that "reconstruction, economic revitalization and capacity-building constitute crucial elements for the long-term development of post-conflict societies and in generating sustainable peace". (S/PRST/2011/4) That is especially true in today's world, where the vast majority of crises that affect international peace and security have to do with internal conflicts and civil wars.”

“The long experience of the United Nations in the prevention and resolution of conflicts shows us that the issue of development - or, rather, the lack thereof - is at the source of many of the conflicts that have been on the agenda of the Security Council. Security imposed by peacekeeping operations carries no guarantee that security will be sustained or that conflict will not eventually re-emerge. In order to avoid that there is a need for several factors to come together: security, the strengthening of the rule of law, respect for and promotion of human rights, the empowerment of women and the establishment of conditions that foster development. That is the only way to achieve sustainable peace.”

“The Government of Chile, on the seventh of this month, recognized the existence of Palestine as a free, independent and sovereign State. In that recognition, the Government of Chile made particular mention of the Jewish and Palestinian communities in Chile because of their valuable support for the country's social, cultural, political and economic development over many decades, and for their full integration into our society. Their fraternal coexistence has been a clear example of good relations, which we hope will serve as an inspiration to the States of Israel and Palestine, a point that I reiterate that today in this Chamber.”

In order to achieve those aims, the Government of Chile considers imperative and resolutely supports the relaunching of the negotiation process between the two parties, with the support of the international community, in order to achieve a comprehensive, definitive and satisfactory peace agreement in accordance with the resolutions of the United Nations. The continuation of the Israeli Government's policy of settlement construction is a serious obstacle to this process, and we call for its immediate suspension, as stated in the draft resolution submitted to the Council, of which my delegation is a sponsor.”

I conclude by thanking the presidency of the Council for this month, the United States, for having convened this debate, and by calling on the Council to engage decisively in the implementation of the resolutions, which Chile supported together with the mother resolution 1325 (2000), for which we already have a national plan.”

“The second is to assess the advisability of adopting sanctions and other measures by the relevant Security Council sanctions committees, as provided in resolution 1888 (2009), taking into consideration their short-, medium- and long-term impacts. Third is to closely assess the usefulness of including in the annexes to the annual reports lists of parties responsible for sexual violence in situations of armed conflict on the Security Council agenda as a basis for more focused engagement on the parties. In that connection, we believe that the Council's work on children and armed conflict could serve as a guide. Fourth is to call on parties in situations of armed conflict on the Council's agenda to make specific and time-bound commitments to put an end to all acts of sexual violence, including clear orders through the chain of command.”

“We also thank her for the field missions she has undertaken, which have borne eloquent witness to the horrors of this scourge. In that regard, we were outraged at the large- scale violations committed in July and August. We acknowledge the crucial need to address this scourge in exemplary, timely and sustainable ways. We also take note of the important work of the network of 13 entities involved in the United Nations Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict. We hope that it will receive the support it needs to continue to improve prevention and early warning mechanisms. Chile takes a positive view of the following recommendations in the report. The first is to invite the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict to exchange pertinent information with the Council and its relevant sanctions committees.”

“Accordingly - and in the belief that such violence should be a priority for those dealing with establishing, maintaining and building peace, as well as for humanitarian workers - Chile co-sponsored resolutions 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009) and 1960 (2010). Those resolutions enable the international community to focus on prevention and real-time responses, not merely on the necessary corrective measures. Believing as we do in the merit of the principles underpinning those resolutions, we welcome the Secretary-General's comprehensive report (S/2010/604) on this subject. We also wish to highlight the role played by Ms. Margot Wallstrom's in fulfilling her mandate as the Secretary-General's Special Representative. We urge her to continue to work actively and collaboratively while avoiding duplication of efforts addressed in other mandates.”

“Mr. Errazuriz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I should like to begin by saying that Chile associates itself with the statement made by the representative of Costa Rica on behalf of the Human Security Network. Chile attaches great importance to the issue of conflict-related sexual violence, which usually affects highly vulnerable groups and which represents a threat to security and a persistent obstacle to peacebuilding, including in situations addressed by the Council.

“On the subject of regional challenges, we believe that, with over 6,000 men and women of the armed forces of Latin America and the Caribbean currently participating in peacekeeping operations around the world, the time has come to involve the majority of countries of the region in the challenge of implementing this resolution. In this scenario, we see new possibilities for South-South triangular cooperation.”

“Furthermore, the plan resulted in the acceptance of the proposal to create an observatory of mixed membership, made up of public agencies and civil society bodies, with the task of participating in the process of accountability subsequent to the publication of the plan. We therefore believe that an element of vital importance in the implementation process will be the compilation of statistics to measure how well the mechanism is working. In our view, although there are few measurable examples, speedy action must be taken to allow quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the results of women's participation in the processes.”

“Secondly, concerning the role of our defence institutions, these institutions participated actively through working groups in the drafting of the plan. Most of the commitments made in this area are now being fulfilled. The review of the curricula of the various educational establishments, the compilation of gender-disaggregated statistics and the inclusion of more women in peacekeeping operations are examples of activities included in the plan and that reflect the contribution of the defence sector. The action plan's third focus is civil society. One of the key aspects of the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) was the inclusion of civil society in the public process of launching this initiative - not as a mere spectator or recipient of the final result, but as an active party.”

“Our commitment is reflected in the adoption of a national action plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). It is the only such measure adopted in our region, and it concentrates on three major areas. First, in the area of foreign affairs, although the Foreign Ministry clearly bears primary responsibility for the implementation of this plan, we are taking the initiative of adopting a cross-cutting approach, incorporating it into our domestic policy. For example, domestically we are adopting gender-sensitive policies in staff recruitment, and externally we have shown our commitment to international humanitarian law through support for the adoption of the Ottawa Convention and the Convention on Cluster Munitions.”
