  1. “That is why we must consistently promote the significant role of women and encourage their participation and full involvement in post-conflict activities and societies, especially because women are important drivers of social, family and economic lives in conflict and post- conflict situations. Allow me to conclude by saying that the partnership between security and development needs to be strengthened and must include global, international, regional and local actors and civil society. There is no development without security, and a lack of security can seriously undermine development.”

  2. “However, one must not forget that political conditions are country-specific and that blueprint solutions may not be universally applicable. For successful human, economic and social development, the dependence of a society on international assistance has to be gradually but steadfastly reduced, and its self-reliance promoted. That has to be a step-by-step process. Nevertheless, it is vital to increase the local population's stake and ownership as the guiding principles of partnerships between security and development actors on the ground. 32 Therefore, the participation of civil society, including the most vulnerable groups, in the development and implementation of peacebuilding and post-conflict processes is of major importance.”

  3. “Humanitarian demining and mine-victim assistance contribute to security in post-conflict societies and enable the restoration of economically viable land and institutions, thus helping victims and their families while, at the same time, lessening the suffering and contributing to the rebuilding of social structures. Based on Slovenia's experiences in the Western Balkans, we can affirm that humanitarian demining can offer the parties a technical platform for dialogue, which can consequently lead to regional cooperation. In societies where the local population suffers the consequences of conflict, the understanding of national and local contexts is crucial to effective conflict resolution and peacebuilding.”

  4. “There is a need to strengthen international civilian capacities for post-conflict peacebuilding, and we welcome the recommendations of the Secretary- General's report on the review of international civilian capacities in that respect. Slovenia has been an active participant in peacebuilding and institution-building efforts. Slovenia implements various humanitarian and development cooperation projects to provide help in areas affected by war or other security challenges - for example, demining projects carried out by the International Trust Fund for Demining and Mine Victims Assistance and the project for the rehabilitation of children affected by the recent conflict in Gaza.”

  5. “Peacekeepers should be able to contribute to the early phases of peacebuilding where they are in a position to do so. A well-coordinated and timely combination of political, development, security and humanitarian measures is needed in order to provide an efficient response to such situations. The Peacebuilding Commission plays an important role in that respect. Slovenia supports the strengthening of institutional arrangements between the various United Nations actors, along with closer cooperation and dialogue between the Security Council and the Peacebuilding Commission. We welcome ongoing efforts to enhance coordination between the United Nations and the World Bank.”

  6. “We need to help build effective and resilient national institutions that prevent a country from slipping back into conflict. We need to invest more in prevention. The costs of conflicts are high, and the unrest can spill over to neighbouring countries and the wider region. Economic development reduces the risk of the onset of a conflict, while deprivation from economic and political participation can catalyse one. Unstable security situations and armed violence and conflict, which lead to a breakdown of the rule of law and, very often, to massive human rights violations, pose a serious threat to human development and the progress made on the Millennium Development Goals. We need to effectively manage the crucial phase of transition from peacekeeping to peacebuilding.”

  7. “We know that there can be neither peace nor security without sustainable development, and vice versa. It is more likely for conflicts to break out in countries with a large population living in poverty and inequality of wealth and in those where human rights and the rights of minorities and ethnic groups are not respected. We therefore need to focus on addressing the root causes of conflicts, achieving sustainable development, good governance and the rule of law and promoting respect for human rights and a culture of tolerance. Preventing unnecessary deaths and ensuring that all people live free of fear and want and in dignity are a matter of solidarity and moral imperative. Over 1 billion people live in fragile and conflict-affected States.”

  8. “Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate the new non-permanent members of the Security Council, namely, Colombia, Germany, India, Portugal and South Africa. I also wish to congratulate Bosnia and Herzegovina for its very successful presidency in January. Slovenia fully aligns itself with the statements to be delivered on behalf of the European Union and of the Human Security Network. Over the past few years, increasingly more attention has been paid to conflict prevention and to the security-development nexus, including the complementarity, coordination and coherence of multilateral cooperation. We have come to realize that in today's globalized world, distance has lost its meaning. A country may be situated on the other side of the world, but its problems reach us all.”

  9. “At the outset, allow me to thank Brazil and my friend Foreign Minister Antonio de Aguiar Patriota for convening today's important and timely debate on the interdependence between security and development. I welcome the decision to build upon the relevant conclusions of recent Security Council debates addressing peace and security from different angles. The adoption of the presidential statement (S/PRST/2011/4) is a significant contribution to that end. I want to thank the Secretary-General for his insightful remarks, which gave us a clearer idea of the problems and opportunities. At the same time, I appreciate the respective contributions by the Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission and by the representative of the World Bank.”
