1. “If our efforts are to be effective, they must incorporate the human rights dimension so as to avoid new forms of marginalization and exclusion. That is a moral and a political imperative. In conclusion, my country underscores the need for commitment on the part of the stakeholders involved not to isolate the countries affected. We believe that any such action would undermine their prospects for recovery. We therefore urge continued efforts to avoid discrimination against countries or persons.”

2. “We underscore the importance of not letting down our guard and of keeping up international support, stepping up our responses and making them more flexible as needs evolve. We support the strengthening of national capacities, greater geographical distribution in interventions and preparedness support for countries in the region. The urgent efforts under way to meet immediate needs must be supported by adequate resources and planning so as not to jeopardize the long-term recovery of the countries affected, which which must be considered when the respective mandates of United Nations operations come up for renewal. We reiterate our call on all stakeholders to strictly adhere to the protocols for persons who have had contact with or who have contracted the disease, as well as for the training of health-care teams deployed on the ground.”

3. “Regional cooperation deserves special recognition, including that ofthe African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, the Peacebuilding Commission through its respective configurations, and the World Bank. At our own regional level, Chile is working with the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States and the Union of South American Nations in developing plans and updated protocols to face this pandemic by supporting the activities of the Pan American Health Organization and the World Health Organization. We also reiterate our gratitude for the work being done by the Cuban professionals on the ground. As the Secretary-General has noted, the longer the epidemic goes on, the higher the risk that it will spread to other countries.”

4. “We commend the resilience of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone - post-conflict countries that are focusing all oftheir developing institutional capabilities on tackling this challenge. We hold up in particular the efforts being undertaken by Mali, and we hope that the UNMEER visit to Bamako and its establishment in the country will help ensure Mali has comprehensive support to face the emergency, including in border areas. The successful experiences of countries in the subregion could be instructive. Together with the valuable efforts and achievements to date, we single out the work of UNMEER and of the specialized agencies, and express our gratitude to their staff on the ground.”

5. “Through resolution 2177 (2014), the Council laid out its work on non-traditional threats and determined that "the unprecedented extent of the Ebola outbreak in Africa constitutes a threat to international peace and security". The crisis continues to have an impact on peace and security, given its direct effect on people and post-conflict societies committed to transitional and peacebuilding processes. Situations such as this generate risks and uncertainties and lead to destabilizing situations to which the Council must pay attention so as - together with other bodies of the United Nations system, UNMEER and other relevant stakeholders - to provide solutions and be on alert comprehensively to the emergency, providing the conditions for the recovery of social fabric and overcoming the insecurity of the population.”

6. “Mr. Llanos (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the Australian presidency of the Council for the initiative to organize this debate on peace and security in Africa with respect to Ebola, and to the briefers, the Special Envoy, Mr. Nabarro; the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER), Mr. Banbury; and Mr. Mauget. We deplore the deaths caused by Ebola and reiterate our solidarity and condolences to the families of the victims and the Governments of the affected countries. We share the priorities laid out in the presidential statement adopted today (S/PRST/2014/24), and we would mention a few issues that we would like to highlight.”

7. “As a troop-contributing country, we reiterate our commitment to the Organization in the noble task of contributing to peace and security.”

8. “The consent of troop-contributing countries is fundamental, along with the presentation of a status report on the situation of the contributing mission, as well as a clear definition of the mandate and the use of force in the receiving mission. Peacekeeping and peacebuilding are among the permanent objectives of my country's foreign policy. We View the concept of peacekeeping operations as a broad one, involving both the maintenance and the promotion of peace-one whose civilian and military components should work in a coordinated fashion with an integrated focus. Only a focus of that nature is capable of maintaining the link between security and development and of creating better conditions for preventing future conflicts.”

9. “In that regard, we propose the development of a legal study and the creation of a framework for their operational use to be submitted to member States for their review and approval. Finally, with respect to cooperation between missions, my country sees peacekeeping operations as a flexible and useful tool in dealing with rapidly unfolding situations or as part of regional clusters. Nonetheless, norms in this instance should also be more precisely defined. Inter-mission cooperation must always emanate from a process of consultation and should be accompanied by the respective memorandums of understanding that fully document their legal grounds.”

10. “Whatever function is ultimately adopted, we stress the importance of reinforcing a gender perspective in all peacekeeping operations and of remaining vigilant so as to ensure that all ground operations include a gender component, as provided for in resolution 1325 (2000). With regard to the use of new technologies, in particular the use of unarmed drones, my country supports the principle derived from the Brahimi report( S/2000/809) concerning the need to provide all peacekeeping operations with better information for the execution of their mandates, for developing and planning their specific tasks, and for evaluating their results. Drones are a good tool for accomplishing such tasks and, in principle, my country supports their use. However, we need to establish the legal framework for their use.”

11. “The possible use of force should be determined by weighing such varied factors as mission capacity, public perception, humanitarian impact, staff security and protection and, most importantly, the impact of such actions on the national and local consensus with regard to the mission. Peacekeeping operations should be aimed at de-escalating violence on the ground and returning to forms of persuasion that do not involve the use of force. Should the use of force be authorized, we believe that neighbouring countries and countries ofthe subregion should not undertake the tasks that involve the use of force. It would seem desirable for individual units to have clearly defined and differentiated functions.”

12. “With respect to the so-called robust mandates and intervention brigades, we share the President's concerns regarding to the principles of impartiality and consent. The use of force by the United Nations will always entail political implications and will always be susceptible to generating unforeseeable consequences. For that reason, political control of such decisions should be strengthened, and the mechanisms for their implementation should be precisely spelled out, paying special heed to the views of troop-contributing countries. Along those lines, the progressive development of international law demands the elaboration of clear and precise rules of engagement that take into account the new challenges involved and provide for appropriate mitigation measures.”

13. “Perhaps we should explore a structure that would, among other things, provide for strengthening the civilian component and an efficient comprehensive matrix for the remaining components, through which the United Nations agencies on the ground would be subordinate to the leadership of a given mission. Furthermore, we must develop more precise regulatory frameworks based on lessons learned. We stress the need to take effective steps to strengthen the focus on fully integrated missions. As we indicated earlier, we believe that it is important that those steps should arise from an interaction between the General Assembly and the Security Council. We appreciate the Secretary-General's suggestion regarding a review of the peacekeeping operations under the Charter of the United Nations.”

14. “In that regard, the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations of the General Assembly has a particular role to play. My delegation favours a multidimensional focus as the approach to conflict resolution, since it transcends the mere cessation of hostilities and involves tasks that include the facilitation of political processes; the protection of civilians; the protection of human rights; the promotion and support of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration; the restoration of the rule of law and the promotion of national reconciliation. The complexity of such tasks demands that the Council provide clear, realistic mandates, along with sufficient resources for their attainment.”

15. “Peacekeeping operations have changed from a traditional concept, basically serving the functions of observation, monitoring and reporting on ceasefires between and among States, to a scenario in which the conflict situations that occur are often intra- State and the operations are assigned multiple responsibilities. That has resulted in so-called multidimensional mandates, robust mandates or even, in some exceptional situations, the establishment of a force intervention brigade, as in the case of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This new scenario requires thorough analysis and discussion, which, as we see it, should be held with the entire United Nations membership, and in particular, with the troop-contributing countries and police-contributing countries.”

16. “Mr. Llanos (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the presidency of the Russian Federation for convening this open debate and for the concept note (S/2014/384, annex) on a theme of importance and relevance to the Organization. We also thank the Secretary-General for his briefing. Peacekeeping operations are an important tool in the work of the Organization under its peace and security pillar. The international recognition of that tool rests, in part, on its origin and the principles that inspire the missions, namely, impartiality, the consent of the parties and the non-use of force except in cases of self-defence or defence of the mandate.”

17. “I would conclude by welcoming the good offices that the Secretary-General continues to carry out and by highlighting the work of the United Nations human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe on establishing the facts, reducing tensions and creating an environment conducive to the holding of presidential elections on 25 May.”

18. “We are particularly disturbed by the deterioration of the human rights situation in the eastern region of Ukraine, in particular violations of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly through attacks against and the harassment of activists, journalists and members of the political opposition. We urge the parties to find a peaceful solution to the crisis through direct political dialogue, to act with moderation, to abstain from adopting any unilateral measures that may increase tensions and to take part in international mediation efforts in accordance with General Assembly resolution 68/262. We hope that the meeting to be held tomorrow in Geneva, in which Ukraine, the Russian Federation, the European Union and the United States will take part, will help find a way out of the crisis.”

19. “Mr. Llanos (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Assistant Secretary-General Simonovie for his briefing on the human rights situation in Ukraine. Chile supports the appeal made by Mr. Simonovie to ensure accountability for all human rights violations committed during the demonstrations in Kyiv that took place between December 2013 and February 2014. It is crucial that immediate measures be adopted to build trust between the interim Government and the population, while taking into account ethnic minorities in particular. Similarly, it is urgent to guarantee full respect for the rule of law, democracy and human rights in Ukraine, including the rights of all minorities.”

21. “We also reaffirm the obligation incumbent on Members of the United Nations to refrain from resorting to the threat of or use of force against the territorial integrity and political independence of any State. It is urgent that all parties involved refrain from undertaking actions that are contrary to the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations and the international agreements and treaties to which Ukraine is a party. We once again call on the parties to seek a peaceful solution to the crisis through direct political dialogue, to refrain from taking unilateral measures and to support international mediation initiatives, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 68/262. That process must be inclusive and must ensure the rule of law, human rights, fundamental freedoms and full respect for the rights of minorities.”

22. “Mr. Llanos (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank Assistant Secretary-General Oscar Fernandez- Taranco for his briefing and welcome the convening of this meeting at this critical time for Ukraine and the region. We face a sensitive development in the crisis in Ukraine. Chile regrets the outbreaks of violence seen in the eastern regions, specifically in Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv, and expresses its deep concern over the serious consequences of the escalation of the crisis owing to the actions of separatist groups. It is critical that the parties exercise the maximum restraint in order to contain the crisis. Our country once again reiterates the need to respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine.”
