  1. “Last but not least, Hungary appreciates and very much supports the repeated initiatives of France proposing that the permanent members of the Council voluntarily refrain from using their veto power in situations of mass atrocities. Hungary believes that any and every proposal that brings the Council closer to its ultimate raison d'etre and the fulfilment of its responsibilities in a flawless and predictable manner merits serious consideration.”

  2. “In that regard, we note that at present there is no information on the reasons and basis for the establishment of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda by the Council, and not a word is devoted to the role of the Council in ICC-related proceedings, as set forth in the Rome Statute. Fifthly, when the Council uses its prerogative to refer cases to the ICC, it has the responsibility to do so in a predictable and even-handed manner, and then to provide support by setting up appropriate follow-up mechanisms and procedures. So far we have seen only partial results in this area.”

  3. “Secondly, the question of accountability in general is an issue that concerns not only the Security Council but other bodies within the United Nations. Interaction between the different bodies should be regular, and developments in other forums should be taken into consideration by the Security Council. Thirdly, in cases where the Security Council has to act to maintain international peace and security, we encourage the Council to develop a coherent accountability strategy with clear criteria to guide its future decisions and to send an important message to Member States. Fourthly, the work of the Council in the field of accountability deserves better reflection on the Council's website.”

  4. “Hungary, as a member of the Accountability, Coherence and Transparency group, aligns itself fully with the statement made on the group's behalf by the representative of Switzerland. Our statement in full written form will be made available to all Member States. In order to save time, I would like to focus here on six concrete proposals, all of which are related to the interlinkages between the work of the Council and questions of accountability for major international crimes. First, the open debate on the International Criminal Court (ICC) held under the Guatemalan presidency in October 2012 (see S/PV.6849) was a crucial initiative in examining the important link between peace, security and accountability. We hope that such debates will be held on a regular basis in the future.”

  5. “We stand firmly behind endeavours aimed at mainstreaming gender issues in the strategies, policies, programmes and actions aimed at promoting the participation of women in decision-making and peace processes. Upon assuming the Presidency of the European Union for the first semester of 2011, Hungary intends to maintain the current momentum by organizing a conference as a follow-up to the series of events marking the tenth anniversary of United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 (2000). I strongly believe that enhanced cooperation in the field of women rights, peace and security and the joint commitment to foster the implementation of this agenda will ensure that women fully enjoy their fundamental rights, which are the basic components of lasting peace and security.”

  6. “We have to recognize that violence against women, including sexual and gender-based violence, poses a real threat to broader security and creates a serious challenge to the full and active participation of women in peace processes. We believe that systematic sexual violence, used as a tactic of war through the deliberate targeting of civilians, in particular women and girls, significantly aggravates the situation during an armed conflict. Those lasting negative impacts may seriously impede the recovery and reconciliation processes as well. I would like to take the opportunity to confirm that the Government of the Republic of Hungary is strongly committed to implementing resolution 1325 (2000).”

  7. “I align myself with the position of the European Union (EU) as communicated by the head of the EU delegation a short while ago. We are convinced that women's participation in the maintenance of peace and security is in itself a basic human right. In this context, we are pleased that this issue has achieved a prominent place on the international agenda. We believe that the involvement of women in peace negotiations and conflict mediation should be supported. Furthermore, let us remember that peace negotiations and post-conflict reconstruction are not only about achieving an end to hostilities, but also about the beginning of a new future.”
