  1. “Hedi Annabi, Special Representative of the Secretary- General, for his detailed briefing on the progress made in Haiti. Also under your presidency, Madam, there was an opportunity, last Friday, 4 September, for an exchange of views with police- and troop-contributing countries on the item before the Council today. What is clear is that, although the situation in Haiti has obviously improved, its stability and level of security is still weak. That is why, as recommended by the Secretary- General in his report (S/2009/439), it is essential that the mandate of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) be renewed. Peru is firmly committed to making its contribution to this goal. The representative of Uruguay has already detailed the plans and proposals that we wish to contribute to this matter.”

  2. “Mr. Gutierrez (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): Peru would like to associate itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Uruguay on behalf of the Group of Friends of Haiti. We also welcome the President's decision to hold this open debate on the situation in Haiti, as this issue will soon be the focus of attention when a discussion is held on the desirability of renewing the mandate of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). I should also like to welcome Mrs. Michele Duvivier Pierre- Louis, Prime Minister of Haiti, and to thank her for her briefing on the situation in her country. I welcome the positive briefing of President William Clinton, Special Envoy for Haiti. I would also like to thank Mr.”

  3. “In order to bring about this positive change in peacekeeping mandates and for the United Nations to maintain its credibility in international public opinion, it is essential that the political and strategic visions of the main actors - the Security Council, the regions concerned and the parties involved in individual conflicts in particular countries - all converge. That vision should be complemented by rapid action by the forces available to the United Nations, without conditions and with a pre-established mandate. In conclusion, I stress our interest in continued cooperation in developing the conceptual exercise of shaping a new alliance within the Organization in order to create a more flexible, workable and effective framework for peacekeeping operations.”

  4. “We must strengthen these mechanisms and promote greater coordination and interaction among these bodies in order to make peacekeeping operations more effective and efficient. An excellent example of this comprehensive vision is the case of the United Nations Stabilization 09-44283 Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), to which Peru is fully committed. The Mission has adapted to the changing situation on the ground, and established indicators and benchmarks in the areas of security, development and institutions. I take this opportunity to reiterate Peru's firm support for Haiti through its participation in MINUSTAH.”

  5. “Strengthening military adviser teams would promote strategic planning that takes all the elements involved in implementing a peacekeeping operation into account and ensures that they will achieve the desired results. In this regard, my delegation notes that the new architecture of peacekeeping operations we seek to define, and the resulting changes in operational mandates, will require us to take a comprehensive, consistent approach in each of the corresponding purviews of the Organization. Today, the Security Council enjoys the valuable support of the Peacebuilding Commission and is developing contacts and coordination with troop-contributing countries. It also relies in its work on the ad hoc mechanisms of the Economic and Social Council and on the activities of the funds and programmes.”

  6. “As we have said in other open debates concerning issues that are directly related to peacekeeping operations, conflicts are multidimensional and, as a result, matters such as peace, security, development and human rights are all interrelated. Peacekeeping operations need to evolve towards a more comprehensive approach to the peace and security problems that they face. Such an approach must not only address the immediate causes of the conflicts but, as previous speakers have noted, contribute effectively to developing coherent and consistent action on the part of international community that, in turn, make it possible to establish conditions conducive to sustainable peace and security - in other words, an effective peacebuilding process.”

  7. “The evolution of each of these elements and its impact on every peacekeeping operation require us to be flexible and to approach every case differently, with firm adherence to the Charter's principles. We believe that it is important to generate a peace dividend or a stability dividend as a result of peacekeeping operations. Short-term activities, including quick impact projects, contribute to the success of our efforts. We also believe that we must explore different ways to better exploit the potential of peacekeeping forces in order to create synergies between mission mandates and the developing needs of countries where the missions are deployed.”

  8. “Similarly, this dialogue must be intensified and include other bodies that have some influence in the areas where peacekeeping operations are taking place, such as the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations and the Peacebuilding Commission, among others. Peacekeeping operations are a part of the set of instruments with which the Organization and the Member States respond to the demands of peacekeeping and regional and international security. They coexist with conflict prevention, the protection of civilians, the mediation and good offices of the Secretary-General, as well as the activities of the Peacebuilding Commission. Peru acknowledges the growing and valuable role that is played by regional and international organizations.”

  9. “The required international cooperation must also fit in with the framework established by Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter, maintaining the universal nature and maintaining the standards and principles of peacekeeping operations. In connection with this point, my delegation agrees with the document presented by the delegations of France and the United Kingdom in the sense that we are all responsible for promoting and ensuring peacekeeping. That is why it is important that we establish in the short term mechanisms to provide greater coordination between the Security Council, the Secretary-General, the Secretariat, the troop- contributing countries and the Member States that host peacekeeping operations.”

  10. “That document sets out interesting approaches to addressing the challenges that the Organization faces in the area of peacekeeping operations. Almost 10 years after the Brahimi report (S/2000/809) was issued, we have no choice but to begin a process that, following a thorough assessment, would allow us to rethink peacekeeping operations in order to make them more effective and capable of effectively ensuring the transition to peacebuilding, which, after all, is the desired goal. Peru believes that the objective that must be pursued by peacekeeping operations is the commitment to and ownership of the peacekeeping process itself on the part of the country or countries involved. Operations must gear all their efforts to strengthening the institutions of those States, their capacities to resolve conflicts, and national sovereignty.”

  11. “Peru is present with military observers and officials in four peacekeeping operations in Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Darfur. We also contribute a company in Haiti and an official of our armed forces as the current Force Commander of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus. We welcome the fact that the Departments of Peacekeeping Operations and Field Support have submitted a document that provides concepts and ideas for the establishment of a new agenda for peacekeeping operations. We also acknowledge the efforts and interest of the delegations of France and the United Kingdom, as reflected in the document on peacekeeping operations that they submitted to the Security Council in February.”

  12. “Mr. Gutierrez (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): I welcome your initiative, Mr. President, to convene this open debate, which is helping to generate a rich exchange of ideas and viewpoints on peacekeeping operations in the light of the challenge facing the Organization in meeting increased demands for more operations with fewer resources. My delegation also welcomes the valuable briefings of Under-Secretary-General for Field Support, Ms. Susana Malcorra, and Under-Secretary- General for Peacekeeping Operations, Mr. Alain Le Roy, as well as that of General Martin Luther Agwai, Force Commander of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur. Peru is firmly committed to the efforts of the Organization to ensure peacekeeping in the different regions of the world.”
