1. “The report of the Secretary-General on the protection of civilians in armed conflict (S/2012/376) underscores ongoing and emerging concerns with regard to the issue. They include the proliferation and fragmentation of non-State armed groups, the displacement of the civilian population within and across borders, the continuing violence and the difficulties facing women and children during armed conflicts, as well as the prevailing culture of impunity. Bolivia believes that, in analysing and considering the situation of civilians in armed conflict, it is essential to define the root causes of many such armed conflicts that the world has suffered and continues to experience.”

2. “Bolivia aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. The Plurinational State of Bolivia respects all its obligations under the Charter of the United Nations, international human rights law, international humanitarian law and refugee law, in particular the four Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols. Our political Constitution proclaims that Bolivia is a peaceful country that promotes the culture of peace and the right to peace, as well as international cooperation. As one way to prevent harm to civilians, our Constitution prohibits the installation of foreign military bases on our territory.”

3. “Mr. Llorentty Soliz (Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me at the outset to congratulate the Republic of Korea on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of February. At the same time, I would like to express our welcome to Mr. Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, Minister for External Relations of Brazil; Ms. Louise Mushikiwabo, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Cooperation of Rwanda; and Mr. Elmar Maharram oglu Mammadyarov, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, and to thank them for their contributions to this debate. I also welcome the presence ost. Navanethem Pillay, High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Mr. Philip Spoerri, Director for International Law and Cooperation of the International Committee of the Red Cross.”

4. “We also believe that there will never be full international justice if the United Nations continues to avoid internal reform. As President Evo Morales Ayma of Bolivia said in his statement to the General Assembly a few weeks ago, if the United Nations wants to change the world, it first has to change itself (see A/67/PV.11). We cannot continue with the existing archaic structures; they belong to another time and do not necessarily correspond to the realities of today. There is no point in 121 countries having acceded to the Rome Statute in 10 years, if only a handful of Powers control the Security Council. We should therefore be resolute in proposing change. We must dismantle those structures. It is vital that we build a new Council and a new architecture for multilateral relations. Bolivia commits its efforts to achieve that goal.”

5. “Any individual or group violating the dignity of people must be held accountable before humanity. In that regard, Bolivia wishes to underscore two fundamental points in its brief statement. First, in order to achieve our aspiration of true universal jurisdiction, it must be emphasized that, unfortunately, even today, 10 years since the adoption of the Rome Statute, the countries with the largest military capacity have still not ratified the Statute. If the countries with the greatest military might, which moreover control the Security Council, cannot and do not respect the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, we are talking of first - and second- class countries. That violates the principle of equality among members of the international community.”

6. “Mr. Llorentty Soliz (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): The Plurinational State of Bolivia would like to congratulate you, Mr. President, on having convened this important debate, which is certainly timely. We hope that our statement and the other interventions today will enable us to make progress in achieving a lasting world peace based on social justice and security for all sovereign nations on the planet. Bolivia plays its role in that multilateral arena in the belief that all countries must meet their commitments equally. The International Criminal Court must move towards the goal of a truly universal jurisdiction. We believe that war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide must be punished in an exemplary way. That is a vital aim for those countries among us that have been victims of such violations.”
