  1. “The sustaining peace approach adds considerable value to peacekeeping missions, providing tools for peacekeepers to act as early peacebuilders, beyond overcoming the misconception of sequencing between peacekeeping and peacebuilding. Brazil hopes that sustaining peace will be duly considered in as many United Nations peacekeeping missions as possible, supported by an adequate allocation of resources and strengthened coordination with the peacebuilding architecture, in particular the Peacebuilding Commission, while allowing for the continued implementation of strategic activities, which are crucial to sustaining peace and to ensuring a smooth transition from a traditional peacekeeping operation to either a special political mission or United Nations Country Team. Brazil remains fully committed to those efforts.”

  2. “We have been promoting, both bilaterally and multilaterally, sustaining peace initiatives, such as community violence reduction and quick impact projects in different ways during the past decade, including through the implementation of projects on the ground, such as through the scope of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, the United Nations Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau, support via the allocation of resources in the Fifth Committee and the synergies between peacebuilding and peacekeeping in the work of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations.”

  3. “Brazil has been supporting the United Nations peacebuilding architecture, the framework that birthed the concept of sustaining peace, since the creation of the Peacebuilding Commission, in particular as Chair of the Guinea-Bissau configuration of the Peacebuilding Commission since 2007, and Chair of the Organizational Committee ofthe Commission from 2014 to 2015.”

  4. “Programmatic peacebuilding activities in peacekeeping operations mandates should not depend solely on voluntary funds. Community violence reduction activities and quick impact projects are tangible examples of how peacekeeping actions can address issues, such as poverty, the exclusion of young people from the labour market, gender inequality, institutional weaknesses and disputes over land and natural resources. The report of the HIPPO (S/2015/446) recommends that peacebuilding objectives be incorporated into mission mandates at the earliest possible stage of a peacekeeping operation.”

  5. “The High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (HIPPO), which carried out a review of peacekeeping operations and special political missions, made a number of convergent conclusions with the Advisory Group of Experts on the Review of the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture. They agreed on the primacy of politics, which recognized that peace operations are a tool to support a political process that must be conceived and planned in support of the broader objective of obtaining political solutions. The Panel also addressed lessons from past peacekeeping operations in sustaining peace and recommended that mission budgets should include the pragmatic resources necessary for mandated tasks to support the sustaining of peace.”

  6. “Therefore, sustaining peace should flow through the three pillars of United Nations engagement at all stages of conflict. In all its dimensions, sustaining peace needs continued international attention and assistance. Peacekeeping operations have a clear and relevant role in that regard. Preventing the relapse into conflict is also fundamental to peacekeeping. As the Secretary-General's vision on prevention states, prevention should permeate everything we do and sustaining peace is essential to long-term prevention. Peacekeeping operations are situated within the process of sustaining peace across the conflict cycle.”

  7. “Today's operations have moved from the traditional military models of ceasefire observation to become multidimensional, combining military, civilian and political aspects that strive to promote stability in the aftermath of conflict. The Security Council must ensure that peacekeeping operations are fully resourced and entrusted with the appropriate mandate for the specific environment in which they are deployed. It must also ensure that they are adequately equipped to protect themselves and discharge their mandates. The link between policy formulation and implementation on the ground, as well as consultations among the Security Council, the Secretariat and the troop- and police-contributing countries, is also paramount to achieving success. Development, peace and security and human rights are interlinked and mutually reinforcing.”

  8. “I thank Egypt for convening today's important open debate on peacekeeping and sustaining peace. I also thank the Deputy Secretary-General, Ms. Amina Mohammed, Mr. Mahmoud and Ambassador Rosenthal for their informative briefings and leadership in those two relevant areas. The role of United Nations peacekeeping operations has evolved dramatically over the years. Their new tasks include addressing the political, security, humanitarian and development dimensions of complex crises, as well as ensuring the implementation of comprehensive peace agreements. Brazil supports a strategy that takes into account the entire peace continuum, from prevention, conflict resolution and peacekeeping to peacebuilding and long-term development.”
