  1. “Today's global village requires a different type of emancipation and independence. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are still 30 speakers on the list of speakers. Given the lateness of the hour, I intend to suspend the meeting until 3 pm. The meeting was suspended at 1.15 pm.”

  2. “That is why we wanted to hold this debate today on how regional and subregional organizations cooperate with our mother Organization, the United Nations, to ensure that we have a world with more peace and more security. We must also state that peace and security is not a military concept. There are those who say that peace and security is to be achieved only by arms, but there are plenty of examples over thousands of years of human history that show us clearly that what really builds societies and ensures stability are the values and ideals for which a given society, as well as millions of individuals around the world, are ready to give their lives. We have seen this in the emancipating revolutions ofthe nineteenth century, in particular in the Americas, and in Africa in the twentieth century.”

  3. “Those values should be taken up again, because those are the concepts that underpin the Charter adopted in San Francisco and many conventions that we have adhered to. I truly believe that, at heart - granted, in some cases more at heart than others - we all believe the same thing. It is notjust a question of sensitivity or intellectual generosity. It is a way, perhaps the most intelligent one, of ensuring that democracy is viewed by as many of the world's citizens as possible as the best way to live. I believe that peace and security, economic growth, inclusiveness, respect for human rights and individual privacy are inalienable rights that nobody is ready to give up.”

  4. “I think many things have occurred since the fall of the Berlin Wall. One of the clearest reasons for the fall of the Wall was that, first of all, the citizens on the other side wanted to live in freedom and without being watched. Yesterday, I recalled an excellent movie, which I am sure we all know won an Academy Award here in the United States, "The Lives of Others", in which citizens felt they were being spied on and controlled. I think this shows the values that served to forge the ideal of democracy, the ideal that we can live and coexist in plurality and diversity, with different ideas, but without our different ideas leading us to become enemies of either the State or other fellow citizens.”

  5. “Along with other countries, we established the Human Rights Council and welcomed the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, along with France and other co-authoring countries. Those are the thoughts that I wanted to share, which I do not purport bear the arrogance of holding some revealed or absolute truth. I simply wanted to Show how we in Latin America have overcome very serious situations in the region by using a formula by which no one could leave the table until an issue were resolved by consensus. Finally, as I did with Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon when he kindly received me once again in a private meeting, I wanted to express the need to establish global rules to ensure the sovereignty of States and citizens' privacy around the world, in the light of the recent well-known events.”

  6. “Being effective in how things are managed means mediating, and it means achieving a solution from that mediation, especially when the mediation is the subject of a resolution of the highest organ. That is how it is in each of our States when a parliament takes a decision and the executive branch respects it. We must understand that similarity if we want to deal with global governance. Much has also been said here about human rights. I am proud to say that my country is an example when it comes to full respect for human rights, having in the 1970s suffered from one of the most terrible dictatorships, which led to the disappearance not only of Argentine citizens but also of citizens of other nationalities. We are also leaders in this area.”

  7. “I mention that just by way of example, for I do not want to start a controversy here. But I do so because I think that the issues that the world is experiencing are so numerous and so serious that peace and security becomes notjust a military concept, but also essentially an economic one. The 2008 crisis, which continues today and has further compounded existing conflicts, requires all of us to adopt a different attitude, rethink how we function within our organizations and consider how to change rules and conceive of and design new instruments that allow us to be effective. For I think that, at the end of the day, we will win the respect of global society when we are able to show that we are effective in the way we operate.”

  8. “We are simply saying that we want the United Nations resolution to be implemented and that both countries should sit down and discuss this litigious and controversial matter. I believe that there is a way to begin to unblock such conflicts. It has been pointed out that there are differing opinions. One can have such opinions on matters that have not been resolved by the United Nations. However, when the Organization, to which all of us have signed on and whose resolutions we have all committed to respecting, adopts a resolution in the General Assembly - the highest organ ofthe Organization - it is no longer a matter of differing opinions; it is about a United Nations resolution and about whether or not we are ready to comply with our obligations as Members.”

  9. “The representative of the League of Arab States talked about the conflict that is now impacting the Middle East in terms of the refusal to accept a Palestinian State, which has an effect not only on Arab countries, but on so many other countries of the world, including mine. In our own region, as the representative of CELAC mentioned, there is conflict owing to the failure to respect a resolution of the United Nations concerning the need for my country and the United Kingdom to begin talks and negotiations in the context of what the United Nations decided in resolution 2065 (XX), adopted in 1965, concerning sovereignty over the Malvinas. This is not a capricious position, nor is it about again saying "We are right".”

  10. “Following the Cold War, all those involved in it sit today around this table and are no longer involved in major conflicts. We need to rethink how the Organization's bodies function, for this is a new world, a new reality and new problems that cannot be addressed with old instruments and old methods: they will not provide us with answers. That is what we mean when we talk about the need to reach consensus, not on the basis of the particular interests of each country with the right to the veto, but rather to genuinely guarantee peace and stability. In that connection, we can say that today South America and Latin America are regions of peace. My country is a leader in nuclear energy, but also a leader in nuclear non-proliferation and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.”

  11. “Normally, all our States and national institutions have what we call the right of veto - something that is inherent to all executive powers. But running a Government is one thing; dealing with conflict is another. When managing conflict includes the right of the veto, the situation becomes much more difficult and, at times, even impossible. We therefore believe that it is necessary to review the operation of United Nations institutions in general, specifically with regard to the Security Council, which respond to a different rationale, one that was in place when the Organization was established. During the Cold War, faced with the danger of a nuclear holocaust, the right of the veto was almost a safeguard to prevent such a conflagration.”

  12. “He said that all States Members of the United Nations must implement United Nations resolutions. It seems to almost go without saying, but actually it is not at all obvious. The distinctive feature here is that frequently, those that sit in this Chamber as permanent members with the right to the veto make use of that right, enshrined under the Charter of the United Nations and under the rules of procedure of the Security Council. However, they are the ones that obstruct real conflict resolution. I would like to compare that with what I would term the South America doctrine. How do we adopt resolutions in CELAC and UNASUR? In those organizations, resolutions are adopted on the basis of unanimity when there is a conflict. That is the distinction we must make.”

  13. “Rather, it is something that has affected our potential for economic growth and for that to take place essentially in an environment of peace and security. I therefore think that the lesson that we have learned in terms of this debate with regard to how regional and subregional organizations can cooperate with the Security Council and the United Nations in finding solutions has to do with some of the issues that other representatives have outlined. I cannot ignore the statement by the representative of the League of the Arab States, who talked about something that I think is at the crux ofresolving conflicts and - I underscore this aspect - the effectiveness of the Security Council in resolving serious matters. What did the representative of the League of Arab States actually say?”

  14. “Later on, UNASUR also successfully dealt with different situations, including domestic situations in various countries, which jeopardized democratic stability - for example, the so-called Pando crisis, which concerned the Government of Evo Morales in the Plurinational State of Bolivia and gave rise to the Moneda Declaration, agreed in Santiago under President Bachelet, in her capacity as President pro tempore of UNASUR. We also adopted the Buenos Aires Declaration, which addressed the problem concerning the removal of President Rafael Correa of Ecuador and whereby we were able to halt the crisis and ensure the perpetuation of the democratic system - an issue that, for our region, is no minor concern.”

  15. “That is essentially what the Security Council must also do in the face of the various conflicts that arise in different parts of the world, which make peace and security very vulnerable values in today's world. One of the situations that we had to resolve when we were not yet even CELAC, but rather the Rio Group, which preceded CELAC, was the difficult situation between Ecuador and Colombia, which almost ended in an armed conflict. As a result of the intervention by the Rio Group, which was at that time in the Dominican Republic, the conflict was able to be successfully resolved.”

  16. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Argentina. My country has now assumed the presidency of the Security Council for the ninth time, but in an unprecedented regional context. There are 14 Foreign Ministers in the Council today, 12 of whom are from the Latin America region. The representative of Cuba spoke on behalf of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), while the representative of Peru took the floor on behalf of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR). Argentina is a founding member of both of those regional and subregional entities. However, the most important consideration is that both bodies have had to deal with serious conflict situations in the region to which they were able to respond.”

  23. “It is worth mentioning that in recent years, new subregional arrangements and organizations have played a fundamental role, both in conflict prevention and in the promotion and maintenance of international peace and security. Other arrangements and organizations have developed new capabilities for action in the maintenance of international peace and security as evidenced in a number of peacekeeping operations. Members of the Council have before them a draft presidential statement on behalf of the Council on the subject of today's meeting. I thank the Council members for their valuable contributions to the draft statement.”

  24. “The Security Council also expressed its intention to consider further steps to promote closer and more operational cooperation between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations in the fields of early warning and prevention of conflicts, peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding, and to ensure the coherence, synergy and collective effectiveness of their efforts. The primary objective of today's open debate is to consider the role of regional and subregional organizations, exploring options to strengthen the bilateral relationships between the United Nations and the spectrum of regional and subregional organizations and arrangements.”

  25. “The last time the Security Council held a debate from a broad perspective on the relationship between the United Nations and regional and subregional organizations was on 13 January 2010 on the initiative of the People's Republic of China (S/PV.6257). As a result of the debate, the Council adopted a presidential statement (S/PRST/ZOIO/l), which, while emphasizing the Security Council's primacy in maintaining international peace and security, stressed the importance of developing effective partnerships.”
