  1. “Together with Namibia, as Co-Facilitators of the Summit of the Future, we stand ready to actively support and engage in discussions to identify a common approach.”

  2. “As current Vice-Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission and main voluntary contributor to the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund, Germany will remain committed to promoting the United Nations peacebuilding agenda. In order to advance and deliver on the prevention aspects of the peacebuilding and sustaining peace agenda, data-based early warning and anticipatory action, including climate adaptation, play a key role. For that reason, Germany supports several projects, such as the Organization’s Complex Risk Analytics Fund and the African Union’s early-warning and climate-mitigation initiatives. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that the Secretary-General’s New Agenda for Peace offers a great opportunity to develop and agree on ways to strengthen trust in our joint efforts towards sustaining peace.”

  3. “Together with other Member States present today, Germany supports the Principles for Peace initiative, which advocates the establishment of a shared frame of reference and common standards among peacebuilding actors. Secondly, let me now outline concrete steps to foster trust in our joint efforts towards building and sustaining peace. Following up on recent open debates in the Council and ongoing discussions in the Peacebuilding Commission, the entities should collaborate further in order to better address existing challenges. To overcome those challenges, we need full political ownership for peacebuilding and sustaining peace from all Member States. An agreement on the introduction of assessed contributions for the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund would underline that joint political ownership.”

  4. “They need to address the causes and consequences of conflict and also respond to the needs of diverse communities. Peacebuilding efforts have to respect the dignity of all people and groups. For instance, in Mozambique, as recently discussed in the Council and the Peacebuilding Commission, the peace process has ultimately been successful thanks to its inclusive nature and the recognition of the country’s diversity. In acknowledgement of the particularly important role of women, children and marginalized groups in peacebuilding, Germany advocates their systematic inclusion. Our recently published guidelines on feminist foreign policy offer an orientation in that respect. It is a proven fact that the inclusion of women in peacekeeping and peacebuilding has contributed to more peaceful post-conflict societies.”

  5. “It is also clear about the importance of prevention, by specifying that sustaining peace: “encompasses activities aimed at preventing the outbreak, escalation, continuation and recurrence of conflict (and) addressing root causes” (resolution 2282 (2016), eighth preambular paragraph) In that context, we are glad to see that the Peacebuilding Commission’s written advice to this debate contains a clear reference to the importance of prevention, referencing the rule of law, transitional justice, accountability, democracy, gender equality and respect for, and protection of, human rights and fundamental freedoms as key aspects for sustaining peace. At national and local levels, trust and prevention necessitate broad inclusion and participation. To be successful, peacebuilding efforts should recognize the positive force of diversity.”

  6. “Both the General Assembly and the Council adopted this agenda by consensus. It should therefore continue to serve as the main framework for United Nations peacebuilding. The agenda is clear about the interlinkage between security, development and human rights.”

  7. “We need to agree on a coherent and value-based framework for our joint, multilateral efforts to build and sustain peace worldwide. The Council has a particular responsibility to build and sustain peace based on agreed core principles. I will focus on two main points — trust as a core element for successful peacebuilding and concrete steps to strengthen trust in our common efforts towards building and sustaining peace. First, in your statement, Sir, you rightfully identified trust as a central element and prerequisite for successful peacebuilding efforts. At the United Nations level, that implies adherence to the jointly developed peacebuilding and sustaining peace agenda, as formulated in the 2016 twin resolutions of the General Assembly and Security Council (resolution 2282 (2016) and General Assembly resolution 70/262).”

  8. “Ms. Lührmann (Germany): I would like to commend you, Mr. President, for convening this timely debate on how to build trust to foster sustainable peace. I would also like to thank the briefers for their valuable analysis and recommendations. People around the world put trust in the United Nations. They see us as a beacon of hope. Particularly in times of darkness, it is the United Nations and its agencies that remain on the ground, providing food and shelter when it is most needed and fostering trust when hatred prevails. Trust is vital for building and sustaining peace, not only in conflict-affected countries, but also within the multilateral system. To foster trust within the multilateral system, all States Members of the United Nations must adhere to the Organization’s principles.”
