“We also emphasize the need for greater gender mainstreaming in the system, in accordance with Economic and Social Council resolution 2009/ 12, entitled "Mainstreaming a gender perspective into all policies and programmes in the United Nations system", which Chile facilitated. This should be accompanied by a mainstreaming of resolution 1325 (2000) nationally and internationally. As stated by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Chile at the ministerial event entitled "A 1325 Call to Action", held here at Headquarters in September, Chile's ongoing foreign policy commitment to peacekeeping operations has resulted in the introduction into its national policy of the formulation of new approaches such as that in resolution 1325 (2000), emphasizing the participation of women in peace and security efforts.”

“Our country is in a position to issue a national report on this matter next year, on the understanding that our country's commitment will strengthen support for the report. Women's participation in peace negotiations has been limited to less than 10 per cent. We therefore strongly advocate the inclusion of women in the negotiation processes and the compilation of reliable statistics on the subject, in line with the indicators proposed by the Secretary-General, as well as women's organizational processes and the training of women as negotiators using, inter alia, mechanisms available in the system and cooperation initiatives for the training of women in this area.”

“In our view, this implementation will be effective only if we undertake to ensure that this decade is focused on action and accountability in the areas of prevention, participation and protection. Accordingly, we welcome the recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2010/498) and its annex containing indicators for a preliminary road map, which we will have to carefully improve after consultations with Member States and on the basis of information they provide. In this connection, we believe that the questionnaire-based consultations conducted by the United Nations Development Fund for Women - part of UN Women - represent an important innovation in the matter of accountability.”

“In our hemisphere, the Organization of American States is marking the Inter-American Year of Women, under that banner "Women and power: towards a world of equality". My Government attaches great importance to this issue and to the difficult situation created by modern conflicts, in which women and children are most affected by the degradation of their living conditions and fundamental rights. We are therefore particularly grateful to you, Sir, for having convened this debate at an opportune moment for evaluating progress and dealing with pending issues. Among those is the implementation of this important instrument, which Chile has always supported together with its complementary resolutions 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009) and 1889 (2009).”

“Mr. Errazuriz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile associates itself with the statement made by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security and the statement that will be made by the representative of Costa Rica on behalf of the Human Security Network. The year 2010 is a year for taking stock of progress in the human rights of women and in gender equality. We are commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995, and its Platform for Action, as well as the tenth anniversary of the Millennium Declaration (General Assembly resolution 55/2) and of resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security.”

“Lastly, Chile shares the concerns of the Secretary-General with regard to adequate financing for the Peacebuilding Fund, especially in times that are difficult for us all. In this connection, Chile reaffirms its commitment to peacebuilding.”

“With regard to the international review of civilian capacity currently under way, based on the potential deployment of teams of international experts, Chile looks forward to the publication of the report and emphasizes that it has been an important aspect of its participation as a member of the Peacebuilding Commission. We trust that there Member States will participate broadly in these teams. Here, I should like to emphasize the importance of regional and South-South cooperation. However, we often encounter difficulties in financing such cooperation in its entirety. To that end, the participation of developed countries is essential, and Chile is therefore in favour of triangular cooperation.”

“Chile welcomes the establishment of the comprehensive Integration Steering Group to support field missions with a holistic approach. It also underscores the importance of coordination with regional organizations, which we view as fundamental and which allows for greater efficiency in the use of international resources. I also underscore the emphasis placed on national capacity-building in post-conflict States. This is crucial to establishing national leadership and strengthening democratic institutions and socio-economic development.”

“With respect to the progress report on peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict, Chile welcomes the progress made since the submission of the 2009 report (S/2009/304). Chile agrees with the Secretary-General that, although the peacebuilding process is a national challenge and responsibility, the international community and the United Nations have a major role to play in supporting the national agenda. This is proof not only of solidarity but also of the need for mutual support created by the global village. The progress noted by the Secretary-General in his report in the areas of effective leadership, coordination and accountability is important, as is the United Nations experience in Haiti through its Stabilization Mission, in which Chile participates.”

“In order for it to succeed, there must be proper coordination among the various United Nations agencies and coordination between them and other external partners, in particular international financial institutions, that participate in the peacebuilding process. Particular attention should be paid to ensuring the presence of women in leadership positions either by direct appointment or by popular election. Lastly, we welcome the Secretary-General's proposal of specific measures to ensure that the recommendations contained in the report are implemented on the ground through the inclusion of women in development, infrastructure, employment, and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes.”

“As the Secretary-General has said, the peacebuilding process is an opportunity to better rebuild a country in all its aspects, with one of the most important aspects being the status of women, their legal position, and access to jobs and to justice, among others. This last aspect - access to justice - is of crucial importance, since women are among the main victims of conflicts. Their access to justice is crucial, since it will enhance their confidence in the State and in the country's political processes. Chile supports the fact that the proposed seven- point peacebuilding plan embodies a gender approach.”

“In addition, this is the tenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), which lays the basis for the Secretary- General's report on women's participation in peacebuilding. I would like to highlight the Secretary-General's report on women's participation in peacebuilding and his seven-point plan, which places women on truly equal footing with men and emphasizes their full participation in the peacebuilding process from the outset. As stated in the report, women's participation is crucial in shoring up the three pillars of lasting peace: economic recovery, social cohesion and political legitimacy. Coordinated work between the PBC and UN Women seems to us to be essential.”

“Mr. Errazuriz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation welcomes the holding of this debate on the Secretary-General's progress report on peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict (S/2010/386) and his report on women's participation in peacebuilding (S/2010/466). We also thank the Secretary-General for his statement this morning and the valuable statement deliver by the Chairperson of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), Ambassador Wittig. This debate is especially timely, in part because of the review of the Peacebuilding Commission, which is expected to conclude shortly after the excellent work by the facilitators appointed by this Council and by the President of the General Assembly.”

“Chile favours direct action to support Haitian women, whose ability to play a central role will make a huge contribution to the reconstruction process. We support the work carried out by MINUSTAH with the Ministry of Women's Affairs and Rights and local authorities, including the provision of legal assistance to women and young people who are victims of violence. In accordance with our national plan for the implementation of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000), we reiterate the importance of developing sustainable initiatives that will reinforce and promote the involvement of women in MINUSTAH's activities.”

“We believe that attention should be paid to the link between security and development because the consolidation of sustainable security conditions will depend in no small measure on the existence of opportunities and better living conditions for the population. We value the contributions that the Economic and Social Council's Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti can offer on this matter. All international efforts must be aligned with definitions set forth by the Government of Haiti in line with the principle of national ownership of the country's reconstruction and long-term development. We take this opportunity to acknowledge the leadership of the Haitian Government in its response in long-term reconstruction and development processes.”

“We trust that peaceful elections will contribute to the consolidation of an atmosphere of political stability. The full validity of the democratic system and the strengthening of the rule of law will no doubt constitute essential elements in the success of the recovery and long-term development efforts being carried out in the country. We take this opportunity to recognize the important work of MINUSTAH in such areas as the protection of vulnerable groups, including women and children, community violence reduction and enhanced support for State institutions, inter alia. We also voice our support for the renewal of MINUSTAH's mandate.”

“With special gratitude, Chile associates itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Uruguay on behalf of the Group of Friends of Haiti, and takes this opportunity to reaffirm our ties with Haiti and its efforts at reconstruction, peacebuilding and long-term development. Chile's participation in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) constitutes an expression of our resolute commitment to multilateralism in a concerted response of the international community represented in the major forum of the United Nations. It is also an expression of the importance of that region to our foreign policy. As noted in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2010/446), one of the main challenges facing Haiti will be the holding of presidential and legislative elections in November.”

“Mr. Errazuriz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Mr. President, I would like to thank you first of all for convening this debate on the situation in Haiti, a brother country that in recent months has had to respond to the great challenges posed by the devastating earthquake it suffered in January. I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Edmond Mulet, for his comprehensive briefing and for the huge work he and his team have been carrying out in Haiti. I thank him very much. We would also like to thank Ambassador Merores of Haiti for outlining his Government's view on the main challenges that it faces.”

“Almost 14 years after the publication of the historic report of Graca Machel on children and armed conflict, and 10 years after the adoption of the Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Chile renews its commitment to contributing actively to the elimination of all forms of violence affecting the children of the world, ranging from armed conflicts to urban violence. Inspired by the phrase penned by the Chilean Nobel Laureate Gabriela Mistral, "the future of children is always today; tomorrow will be too late", we will steadfastly support all initiatives seeking to implement the international commitments in this area.”

“We therefore call on the Security Council to consider more forceful action against those who commit serious and persistent violations against children and to consider measures that could be applied in cases where there are no sanctions committees. Finally, in the framework of resolution 1882 (2009), we underscore the importance of ensuring that the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict has the administrative support necessary to carrying out its work effectively, given that it is the only subsidiary body of the Council that does not receive such assistance. We also urge the Group to use the tools at its disposal, particularly on-site visits and emergency meetings.”

“In this connection, in accordance with paragraph 194 of that report, we urge the continued inclusion of specific child protection provisions in the mandates of United Nations peacekeeping operations and relevant political missions, the permanent deployment of child protection advisers and the training of contingents in child protection. The prevention and eradication of violence against children in armed conflicts will be possible only if the Council uses the full weight of its authority to identify and punish those responsible for the worst violations of human rights - those who violate the rights of the most fragile and defenceless.”

“Ten years after the adoption of the Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, we therefore call on those States that have not yet acceded to these instruments to consider ratifying them promptly. We have read with interest the recommendations contained in the report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict (S/2010/181), in particular that encouraging the Security Council to streamline the sharing of information between its Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict and its sanctions committees and to invite the Special Representative to brief those bodies on a more regular basis on specific information that comes under her remit.”

“As a State party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols and to Convention 182 of the International Labour Organization concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour, Chile reiterates its commitment to initiatives to eliminate all forms of violence against children and to the Principles and Guidelines on Children Associated with Armed Forces or Armed Groups, known as the Paris Principles. Accordingly, we support multilateral actions to reduce and eradicate this scourge by focusing on greater programmatic coherence, ensuring reintegration is sustainable, punishing those responsible and promoting prevention activities designed to protect childhood and the special needs of girl children in armed conflicts.”

“We therefore reiterate our firm support for the work of the Working Group and for efforts to implement, among other measures, Security Council resolutions 1612 (2005) and 1882 (2009), co-sponsored by Chile. We also reiterate our support for UNICEF and the various non-governmental organizations and civil society bodies that work together to contribute to the implementation of the monitoring and reporting mechanism. Similarly, we acknowledge the significant and selfless work carried out by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ms. Radhika Coomaraswamy, and her team. We are following with particular interest their activities in the field, which have made Member States aware of the serious situations facing child victims of armed conflicts.”

“Mr. Errazuriz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I would like to congratulate Ambassador Heller on his work in the presidency of the Security Council and on the excellent work that the delegation of Mexico has done at the helm of the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, established pursuant to resolution 1612 (2005). We also thank him for convening today's discussion on the important topic of children and armed conflict. Chile aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Costa Rica on behalf of the Human Security Network and the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Canada in his capacity as chair of the Group of Friends for children in armed conflict. The international community recognizes that children have rights, yet their rights are ignored every day in situations of armed conflict.”
