  2. “With full conviction, we have convened two meeting on child protection in conflict situations aimed at protecting their rights and ensuring their return to a safe environment with prospects for growth and development. Also, with the support of the members of the Security Council, in 2009 we have strengthened the tools of this Council through resolution 1882 (2009), among others. As an elected member of the Security Council, and also within the General Assembly, Mexico will continue to contribute in creating conditions of stability and lasting peace at the international level, as we have done since the founding of the Organization, acting under the principles of transparency, democratization and accountability.”

  3. “We believe that, in 2010, important progress has been made in maintaining the relevance of the topic on the agenda of the Security Council. The debate on the promotion and strengthening of the rule of law in the maintenance of international peace and security, held in June, is one example of that. It is also important to highlight the Council's resolutions urging the parties to armed conflicts to comply with international humanitarian law and to protect vulnerable groups. With respect to international humanitarian law, the Council has assumed the role of collective guarantor under the Protocol Additional I to the Geneva Conventions.”

  4. “To a large extent, and thanks to mediation, for several decades Latin America and the Caribbean has been one of the most peaceful regions of the world. Mediation has led to the resolution of political and ideological conflicts and territorial and border disputes. Thus, in 2009 we convened a debate of the Security Council on mediation and the peaceful settlement of disputes. Conflict prevention and post-conflict attention must remain among the primary objectives of the Organization, which must address the causes in a comprehensive and long-term manner. Peacekeeping and post-conflict capacity-building, in particular of civilian capabilities, are key components of the promotion and strengthening of the rule of law.”

  5. “In the course of our participation in the Council's work, we have particularly emphasized the peaceful settlement of disputes, preventive diplomacy, respect for the rule of law, and transparency in the Council's working methods, all of which are needed to promote the higher efficiency of this organ's capacities. Mexico has always promoted the peaceful settlement of disputes and remains convinced that the genuine strengthening of the role of the Organization in the world depends on the validity of Chapter VI of the Charter of the United Nations. Throughout its history, Mexico has been one of its most active promoters, resorting to arbitration and international courts and encouraging the peaceful settlement of disputes through mediation in our region.”

  6. “We must also continue to encourage respect for the international legal framework, ensuring compliance with the Council's decisions and confronting impunity, in particular for violations of international humanitarian law and human rights. We believe that there should be a greater emphasis on conflict prevention. Dialogue and the peaceful settlement of disputes are essential to strengthening international cooperation in maintaining peace and security, eradicating the structural causes of conflict and encouraging the development and use of resources in a more rational way.”

  7. “As it has rarely done before, the Council now works to reach consensus based on negotiations within the framework of the international law. There is also a positive and constructive relationship among the permanent members, as well as an exceptionally consistent group of non-permanent members committed to international peace and security. These elements show us that it is possible to strengthen the peacekeeping agenda, emphasizing conflict prevention and peacebuilding, and providing the political support necessary to ensure lasting peace. Our work should seek to ensure that the Security Council's efforts have a positive impact on the field as part of a comprehensive and coherent long-term strategy that builds and strengthens lasting peace and promotes the safety of the civilian population, particularly women and children.”

  8. “Today, we face threats - such as international terrorism and transnational organized crime, including illicit trafficking in drugs, arms and persons - that affect the world in a transversal manner. No country remains unaffected, and no one can face them on their own. The Security Council, as the highest legitimate body responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security, in accordance with the prerogatives conferred on it by the Charter of the United Nations, should continue to strengthen its mechanisms and the reach of its decisions in order more effectively to address threats that affect contemporary global stability, instead of being overtaken by reality. Mexico believes that we live at a time when we have the tools and opportunities to promote an environment conducive to tangible improvements in peace and security.”

  9. “Mrs. Espinosa Cantellano (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): We wish at the outset to thank you, Mr. President, for having taken the initiative to convene this meeting of the Security Council to debate at the highest level the issue of strengthening of the role of the Council in the maintenance of peace and security. We also thank your delegation for its guidance of the work of the Council. The evolution of the international context requires the Council to adapt its skills and mechanisms to cope effectively and comprehensively with the new international challenges and threats, recognizing the clear interdependence between development, respect for international law, human rights and security.”
