  1. “I should like to conclude by highlighting the important work accomplished thus far by the Peacebuilding Commission, by reaffirming Peru's constructive support for the leadership of the United Nations and the Commission in the work being done in peacebuilding processes, and by emphasizing my country's full readiness to contribute decisively to those efforts.”

  2. “A strategic vision of the peacebuilding process is required to that end. It is thus essential to build an alliance among the political, social, educational and economic powers of the State and the relevant international actors. To the society involved in peacebuilding processes, it should be made clear that international cooperation is aimed at strengthening the exercise of its sovereignty, with full respect for international law and the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, but that such cooperation has a time frame and must follow an agenda with clearly defined objectives and specific goals that will ensure its viability.”

  3. “With respect to international cooperation, my delegation believes that, as a matter of priority, it should be channelled towards strengthening the political system and conflict settlement, the training of civilian teams and the design and implementation of projects that will have a swift social impact, which is crucial in order to gain the support of the local population. To that end, financial institutions, including the World Bank in particular, are natural allies in peacebuilding efforts and essential to their success. All of this involves a medium- and long-term commitment, with the participation of the international community and the full agreement of the State concerned. It may be of several years' duration, in many priority areas and, in some cases, quite far- reaching.”

  4. “Therefore, actions should be aimed at promoting both the peacebuilding process and the State-building process, not only simultaneously but in parallel. In such an exercise, it is important, in the light of the prognosis set out in the report of the Secretary- General, that a series of actions be taken to effectively bridge the strategic gap between weak institutional capacities and delayed project financing, without neglecting work in three areas that have a direct bearing on the peacebuilding and the State-building processes - governance, security and development - seeking a fair balance that avoids giving one area pre- eminence over another.”

  5. “Therefore, such processes require designs that improve the division of labour so as to promote effective management in the implementation of projects, the greater involvement of women as important actors in any process, and a diffusion of decision-making throughout the structures of cooperating organizations in order to ensure better effectiveness in project implementation. Such clear and concrete measures would strengthen the management capacities of all actors involved in peacebuilding processes. In particular, they would help to attain an objective that is an integral part of peacebuilding processes - strengthening the institutionality of the State. As we have seen, that is a process whose aspects are two sides of the same coin and thus interconnected.”

  6. “That is fundamental, because national actors are the real protagonists in developing the work and the implementation of peacebuilding processes. With regard to the very nature of conflicts, notwithstanding certain similarities in the economic and social factors that may be observed in some, every conflict has its own internal and external dynamics, as well as its own ethnic, tribal, constitutional or historical referents. That means that no two cases or relevant groups of actors are alike - hence the complexity and great sensitivity of the management and design of strategies for peacebuilding processes.”

  7. “We must do everything possible to ensure that early recovery processes in post-conflict States are maintained and, in this context of crisis, even strengthened. It is well known that those processes face a range of problems that hamper their implementation, such as the lack of infrastructure in countries benefiting from cooperation and the lack of trained cooperation personnel owing to the working and security conditions in post-conflict countries, as well as the slow distribution of funds. From that perspective, my delegation considers that there are a number of steps that should be taken immediately to strengthen the current peacebuilding processes. These include placing priority on improving the institutional capacity of Governments.”

  8. “Mr. Gutierrez Reinel (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): I should like at the outset to highlight the fact that the Security Council scheduled this open debate on post- conflict peacebuilding shortly after the recent submission of the report of the Secretary-General on peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict (S/2009/304) to the Organizational Committee of the Peacebuilding Commission and, in particular, shortly after the conclusion of the high-level Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis and Its Impact on Development. That timing is significant because Peru believes that, in the current context of financial crisis, we must make efforts to prevent peacebuilding processes from being affected.”
