  2. “under the leadership of Spain, highlighted the urgent need to strengthen our collective efforts. Two weeks ago, in collaboration with Germany, the 1540 Committee Group of Experts and the Office for Disarmament Affairs, Mexico hosted a successful meeting on the Wiesbaden process that enabled us to share our experience and good practices with the countries of the Pacific Ocean Alliance and with Brazil. Industry representatives from those countries participated in awareness-raising with regard to the diversion of dual-use goods and technologies for proliferation purposes. Important efforts that are critical to ensuring a safer region are taking place in Latin America.”

  3. “With one of the largest chemical industries in the world, we have developed a national export-control regime for dual-use materials, based on coordinated efforts generating firm, flexible and sophisticated responses, thereby enabling us to fulfil our international obligations under resolution 1540 (2004), and those under our voluntary memberships, including the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Australia Group and the Nuclear Suppliers Group. But such efforts are of little or no use if we do not strengthen our national capacities and if we do not engage in real-time information exchange and continuous cooperation among States. In those efforts, the leadership of the Security Council is essential, as is the commitment of the five permanent members. The review of the status of resolution 1540 (2004) by the Council last year.”

  4. “As the concept note prepared for the previous Council meeting on this topic in December indicates (S/2016/1013, annex), the extraordinary advances in science and technology and the dynamism of international trade should not threaten our security. Our challenge is to find a balance that will enable us to meet our non-proliferation commitments, while avoiding obstacles to trade, technology and our own industries. Mexico is a responsible global actor and a country that rejects weapons of mass destruction, as well as being the world's leading recipient of foreign direct investment in its aerospace industry.”

  5. “Mr. Gomez Camacho (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I thank you, Mr. President, and Bolivia for convening this important meeting. Allow me to start by reiterating the obvious. We must strengthen the collective response through cooperation and international law in order to address the increasing risk ofweapons capable ofwiping out entire communities through cruel, indiscriminate effects, as well as the risk that they may fall into the hands of non-State actors and terrorist groups. Mexico categorically condemns the existence of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, and their use by any actor under any circumstance. This meeting coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the Treaty of Tlatelolco and shows that a world free of nuclear weapons is a goal within our reach.”

  6. “Before concluding, I would like to reiterate Mexico's commitment to sustainable peace in Haiti and to the development of the country, as well as to the work of the Economic and Social Council's Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti, in which my country participates.”

  7. “Secondly, the health situation in Haiti must be improved, with particular attention to coordinating, under the leadership of World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization, the effective provision of health services and efforts to address the ravages ofthe cholera epidemic in the country, for which we must support the new approach of the Secretary-General. Thirdly, efforts must be undertaken to build infrastructure in the water, sanitation, roads, transportation and education sectors. Fourthly, Haiti must be supported as it seeks to take steps to reintegrate returnees in a positive manner.”

  8. “We must ensure the foundations of sustainable and lasting peace in Haiti. The drawdown of MINUSTAH must not mean that the United Nations system is failing to support that country. On the contrary, like all other States, Haiti must meet the goals of sustainable development. The United Nations, with the cooperation of the international financial institutions, should organize its efforts so as to reach concrete and long- term solutions for achieving those goals. To that end, it is fundamental that, first, there be maximum coordination among all the components of the United Nations system present on the ground. The future Resident Coordinator will have to ensure that all actions are consistent with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”

  9. “I am particularly grateful to the Secretary-General for his report on MINUSTAH (S/20l7/223), and we take due note of his recommendations on the gradual drawdown of that mission before November 2017 and the establishment ofa successor mission. The new mission, which is focused on strengthening Haitian institutions, in particular the Haitian National Police, is particularly welcome. However, the mission needs to have a mandate and be given the capacity to assess the human rights situation on the ground. The transition of the mission must be carried out in a responsible, progressive and prudent way so as to avoid a security vacuum. This new stage is favourable for showing the capacity of the United Nations and its Members to handle transitions, assess progress and adjust peacekeeping operations to political and security contexts.”

  10. “Mr. Gomez Camacho (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): Thank you, Madam President, for your invitation to participate in this meeting. We welcome the fact that Haiti is on the path of institutional normalization with the holding of elections, the inauguration of a new president and the restoration of constitutional order. We recognize the support of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and the international community in that process. The arrival of the new Government in Haiti provides us with the opportunity to work with new partners, who are the principal persons responsible for the destiny of their nation, and who, with the support of the international community and the United Nations, can focus their efforts on the development challenges that Haiti faces.”

  11. “That means addressing the causes that lead to terrorism through two main actions: enhancing the capacity-building of States and strengthening development. While it is understandable that we are trying to prevent violent extremism so as to avoid the proliferation of terrorism, it is crucial to think about the implications. Mexico is concerned by the temptation to merge the two concepts, which could lead to an overly broad application of counter-terrorist measures and potentially punish types of behaviour that under no circumstances can be described as terrorist acts.”

  12. “In the light of the review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, which is to take place in June, I would like to make the following four specific points: First, greater coherence and coordination are needed among the various United Nations offices that make up the Strategy. That means reviewing the Strategy's architecture and the definition of mandates. Secondly, we must improve communication and coordination between the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force and the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate. Thirdly, it is important to guarantee that the efforts of the Strategy are properly based on the four action pillars, incorporating a broader agenda in terms development, security and respect for human rights. Fourthly, we must always favour a preventive approach.”

  13. “Political, religious and community leaders must guarantee that messages issued about terrorism and how to tackle it promote tolerance, respect and the culture of peace, avoiding the dissemination of xenophobic and discriminatory messages. Since 2002, Mexico has led the initiative on the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism (General Assembly resolution 68/178), both in New York and Geneva. General Assembly resolution 70/148 reiterates the commitment of the international community to respect its obligations in that sphere. It also reiterates the importance of civil society and humanitarian organizations, as well as the right to privacy and the participation of women, in formulating counter- terrorist measures.”

  14. “Mr. Gomez Camacho (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): Mr. President, I would like to greatly thank your delegation for having convened this debate. I also thank the Secretary-General for his briefing. I would like to begin by reiterating that my country firmly condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Likewise, we are trying to adopt effective measures against terrorism, at the national, regional and international levels, while fully respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms. All States have an obligation to act in strict compliance with international law, in particular the Charter of the United Nations, international human rights law, international humanitarian law and refugee law. It is crucial that terrorism not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization or ethnic group.”
