  1. “The Human Security Network remains concerned by the difficulties faced in taking action to ensure the protection of civilians in Syria. The current debate provides an opportunity to consider the most pressing aspects of the issue. These include, first, compliance by the parties to the conflict with international humanitarian and human rights law, in order to guarantee the protection of civilians and, among them, the most vulnerable groups, including women and children; secondly, to ensure the full implementation of protection mandates by peacekeeping and other relevant missions; and, thirdly, to explore ways to bolster accountability for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.”

  2. “In that respect, I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his presentation, as well as the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Pillay, for her contribution to the debate on this challenging issue. We also believe that the statement made by the representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross is of particular relevance, as it highlighted, inter alia, one of the key elements of the issue, namely, the implementation of international humanitarian law. Despite the unrelenting efforts of the international community, civilians continue to account for the majority of casualties in armed conflicts. Their situation becomes even more precarious when they are deliberately targeted or indiscriminately attacked or when they are viewed as a strategic asset in a conflict.”

  3. “Mr. Galvez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I have the honour to speak on behalf of the members of the Human Security Network, namely, Austria, Costa Rica, Greece, Ireland, Jordan, Mali, Norway, Panama, Slovenia, Switzerland, Thailand, my own country, Chile, and on behalf of South Africa, as an observer. First, I would like to thank the Argentine presidency for having convened this meeting on the protection of civilians in armed conflict, with a focus on humanitarian issues. The Human Security Network was created in the context of the Ottawa Convention prohibiting landmines, and the protection of civilians in conflict has always been central to our concerns. We cannot overemphasize the importance of discussions such as today's, on how best to ensure the security and dignity of civilians affected by armed conflict.”

  4. “In conclusion, I should like to reiterate Chile's readiness to continue to cooperate with Haitian authorities and the international community in the search for lasting peace in Haiti, while fully observing and promoting human rights, strengthening the rule of law and democracy and making real progress in raising the level of development of its people.”

  5. “Given that peacebuilding efforts require high levels of coordination between all stakeholders, we believe it would be worthwhile to consider the participation of experts from Latin America and the Caribbean, alongside those from Haiti itself, as part of the Special Envoy's technical teams. We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our support for the efforts of the Secretary-General and his Special Representative Hedi Annabi on behalf of Haiti. We also appreciate the presence and statement of Her Excellency Mrs. Michele Duvivier Pierre-Louis, Prime Minister of Haiti.”

  6. “However, the fragility of the achievements in that field concerns us, principally owing to how little progress has been made on social and economic development. We believe that the link between security and development is fundamental to any effort to achieve sustainable peace. Chile supports and welcomes the appointment of former President William Clinton as United Nations Special Envoy for Haiti. He will help the Government and the people of Haiti in their endeavours to create jobs, improve infrastructure, provide basic services, enhance disaster readiness and recovery, ensure private sector investment and attain increased international support. We would like to thank former President Clinton for his briefing at this debate. We are optimistic about his mission's prospects for success.”

  7. “Likewise, it has contributed to Haiti's development through bilateral cooperation, supporting the generation of national capacities in those less developed areas where Chile is strong. This year marks five years of MINUSTAH's presence in that Caribbean nation. In that regard, we would like in particular to underscore Latin America's ongoing commitment to the future of Haiti. The countries of the region have sought to harmonize consistent and sustainable strategies to optimize our support both in the peacekeeping mission and in training and cooperation programmes with the Haitian National Police. We are pleased to see that the security situation in Haiti is stable, and we welcome MINUSTAH's efforts in that regard.”

  8. “Mr. Galvez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, Madam, I should like to congratulate your country on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of September, and also to thank you for having convened this open debate on the situation in Haiti. Chile associates itself with the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Uruguay on behalf of the Group of Friends of Haiti and reiterates its commitment to the process of stabilization and peacebuilding in that country. From the start of the crisis in February 2004, Chile joined the efforts of the international community to continue supporting that sister Caribbean nation, as part of the Multinational Interim Force in Haiti in an early stage, and later with an active presence in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH).”
