  1. “Unfortunately, in most cases there have been no reparations for the victims, and that must be remedied. In that regard, the Security Council should determine which cases are relevant, and where possible create the necessary conditions so that accountability includes reparations for the victims, including restitution or compensation, as well as the material, medical, psychological and social support needed, especially for women and girls. Lastly, I underscore Chile’s commitment to truth, justice, memory, reparation and non-recurrence in all situations involving serious human rights violations. We also note that this debate must not neglect transitional justice in applicable cases, which has also been the subject of other Council debates.”

  2. “Chile greatly values the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, each of which performs its functions within its respective legal framework in a way that strengthens the international rule of law as a whole and prioritizes the protection of individuals in particular. We also value and promote the independence of international tribunals. With regard to appropriate reparations for victims, the issue has been raised in connection with several international initiatives that should be explored. Reparations have been a common feature in several peace treaties, although they have often entailed obligations for the defeated party alone. In many other cases, they have responded to domestic initiatives to end conflicts or internal instability.”

  3. “In that regard, Chile believes that the international community should adopt a multilateral approach, especially through the United Nations and its Security Council, which has the primary responsibility and duty to provide a comprehensive solution to all threats to peace that fall within its purview. We are also grateful for the guiding questions raised in the concept note. With regard to the first question, as we just said, Chile believes that it is imperative to promote accession to the Rome Statute by as many Member States as possible and greater cooperation on the part of the Security Council with the Court. Concerning the question on the creation of an accountability network, we believe that the mandates, the respective legal frameworks and the nature of the institutions involved are specific and can prevent duplication.”

  4. “We remain concerned about international crimes perpetrated in various parts of the world and we support conducting independent investigations for each of them. In that regard, the International Criminal Court and its Rome Statute provide a legal and institutional framework that guarantees independent and impartial investigations that will not be exploited for political ends but place those people’s protection at their core. Impunity is a scourge that encourages the recurrence of violations of international humanitarian law and undermines international peace and security.”

  5. “We agree with the spirit of the concept note (S/2022/418/Rev.1, annex), and the statements of several speakers, that accountability is key to preventing and ending serious violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, including the individual accountability of those who perpetrate, plan or promote such violations. Strengthening the effectiveness of international justice is essential to guaranteeing the rule of law at the international level. In that regard, Chile attaches great importance to the International Criminal Court, and we hope that those States that have not yet done so will join its Statute. Chile’s commitment to international humanitarian law and the international protection of human rights is unwavering.”

  6. “Mr. Hernández Chávez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, allow me to take this opportunity to express our deep condolences to the Brazilian delegation following the passing of Judge Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade this week. Chile thanks Albania for convening this pertinent debate at a time when yet another war is affecting the rights and lives of so many people, which calls for comprehensive consideration of the issue in the multilateral space. We also thank the briefers, who provided us with a very relevant context.”
