  1. “The international agents as a whole, with their financial support and capabilities, are called to work together to address the needs of marginal societies. In today's world, which operates in a security environment is rapidly changing and is unpredictable, we have to take actions and responses that are every more convincing and consistent. If we do not, the United Nations and international community will lose a great opportunity for peace.”

  2. “Our people have worked in solidarity to do all they can to help our neighbour country, and in that regard it is worth noting the efforts of the bilateral Joint Commission as a solid expression of support for the tasks of recovery. We therefore wish to acknowledge the efforts made by the countries in our Latin American region and beyond that are a part of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti. Mr. Barros Melet took the Chair. We wish to make use of this important event to exhort the international community represented in this important international effort to devote greater attention to fragile States and States emerging from conflict in order to build the capacity of their national institutions to efficiently address the problems of development and security.”

  3. “If they do not have a clear vision and if they do not appropriately address extreme poverty and deprivation, it is certain that there will not be lasting peace. There are cases of countries in which there were peacekeeping operations that lasted many years and then came to an end, but those countries had to return to dealing with the problems. That means that the approaches followed did not address the fundamental problems. In the Dominican Republic we have tremendous respect for the goodwill of the international community, expressed through the Security Council, in supporting our neighbour, Haiti, to overcome adverse circumstances of every kind.”

  4. “In that regard, I wish to commend President Bachelet and the Secretary- General for their strong leadership in promoting the cause of women in these sensitive topics, which, unfortunately, were marginalized in the international security context until only recently. Ensuring international peace and security is a huge task that requires collaboration and greater support on the part of the Security Council vis-a-vis international cooperation organizations and the international community. The mission would be to strengthen the capacity to really undertake peacebuilding in the affected countries in such a way as to prevent, if possible, the resurgence ofa crisis. Countries emerging from conflict should increasingly be able to count on effective aid programmes to restore their political, judicial, security and socioeconomic institutions.”

  5. “We believe that the Security Council, in order to meet these new challenges, should reconsider the most effective way for it to operate. The Council should optimize its effectiveness, particularly on the issue of prevention. It is better to prevent crises and conflicts than it is to find solutions to them. In that respect, the Security Council should do everything in its power to improve the Organization's early-warning system. In addition to their operational content, peacekeeping operations must continue to strengthen their comprehensive and multidisciplinary nature. We commend the inclusion in these operations of new components that prioritize women, child soldiers, victims of sexual abuse and, as we stated earlier, the protection of civilian populations.”

  6. “The effective protection of the civilian population is essential for sustainable peace, and this should be taken into consideration whenever peacekeeping operations intervene. Along with the changing international context, as we have heard repeatedly since the beginning of this meeting, new threats are emerging that affect security. These threats include marginalization, terrorism, climate change, arms proliferation, piracy, drug trafficking and its corollary, international organized crime. The complexity of those threats and the interdependence of the issues of security and development issues are making the Security Council's role increasingly difficult, especially with regard to the mandates of its increasingly complex peacekeeping missions, thus weakening its effectiveness.”

  7. “Today's meeting in particular addresses an issue that has serious implications for international peace and security. A review of the international environment gives us the opportunity to renew our commitment in the face of continually evolving challenges and promote a bold vision to achieve peace and security. When we focus our attention on people, we see that the most urgent priorities of those affected by armed conflict are often security and development, respect for the rule of law and human rights. In other words, this is a matter of life and death. A firm resolve to assume the global responsibility to protect civilians in armed conflict would certainly result in greater credibility for the Security Council.”

  8. “Ms. Liriano de La Cruz (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): I wish to begin by thanking you, President Michelle Bachelet, for your initiative to convene this timely and decisive meeting. The leadership you have shown in the various posts you have held reflects your commitment to the loftiest international goals. I wish also to congratulate the Secretary-General on the clarity and depth of his briefing. Likewise, we welcome the briefings by Mr. De Aguiar Patriota, Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission, and Ms. Leymah Gbowee, President of the Gbowee Peace Foundation Africa. The Security Council is the organ with primary responsibility for the maintenance ofinternational peace and security under the Charter of the United Nations.”
