  1. “The nature and characteristics of the conflicts that the Organization has had to face in recent decades have substantially changed. Likewise, in recent years we have witnessed a necessary change in the scope of the mandates of peacekeeping operations. Currently, such operations are therefore multidimensional in nature, since their mandates include various interrelated factors, such as peace and security, development, post-conflict capacity-building and State institution-building, among other elements. The establishment of operations with multidimensional mandates implies a greater complexity not only on the ground but also in terms of the planning and implementation of those operations.”

  2. “Mr. Meza-Cuadra (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, I commend your initiative, Mr. President, to convene an open debate on developments in United Nations peacekeeping operations. We also thank the Secretary-General for his presentation. A founding principle of the Organization's establishment was the maintenance of international peace and security. Peacekeeping operations are therefore are a crucial part of United Nations activities. Aware of that, Peru has actively participated in such operations since 1958, the year in which we deployed a contingent to the United Nations Observation Group in Lebanon. Since that date, my country has contributed more than 6,700 uniformed personnel, three of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of international peace and security.”

  3. “In conclusion, my delegation believes that the maintenance of international peace and security is a task that requires the participation of the international community as a whole. We therefore call on all Member States to step up their efforts to that end. The Security Council can count on Peru to continue to do its part in this collective effort.”

  4. “In that respect, Peru has aligned its domestic legislation with the standards established in resolution 1540 (2004), as demonstrated in the three reports submitted by my country on its implementation of the resolution. The various relevant sectors are currently working on the development of a new national report for submission to the Committee. In that regard, Peru reiterates its full support for and commitment to the hard work being conducted by the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). Peru's commitment to resolution 1540 (2004) was also demonstrated in its organization, with the support of the United Nations, of two regional workshops in Lima, in 2006 and 2010, to disseminate the content and scope of application of the resolution, and to identify areas of possible cooperation among the countries of the region.”

  5. “My country is firmly committed to efforts to achieve complete disarmament and the non-proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and their means of delivery, which constitute a threat to international peace and security. My country therefore supports the strengthening and universalization of the relevant legally binding multilateral agreements and has adopted various administrative and penal measures towards the effective implementation of its obligations under resolution 1540 (2004), primarily in the areas of immigration and customs control, air and maritime control, and intelligence activities, in order to avoid the production and the illicit trade in weapons of mass destruction.”

  6. “Peru considers it essential to address the issue of weapons of mass destruction at the global level, since no country is exempt from the potential of terrorist activities in its territory. It is therefore essential to strengthen measures at the international level to combat that scourge, always in strict respect for human rights. In that regard, we must jointly implement the international instruments on weapons of mass destruction - such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Biological Weapons Convention, the Chemical Weapons Convention and resolution 1540 (2014) - with the goal of preventing the dual use of nuclear material, biological agents and chemical substances, as well as the ability of terrorist groups to manufacture or obtain access to nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.”

  7. “Mr. Meza-Cuadra (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, let me congratulate the Republic of Korea on having assumed the presidency of the Security Council, and welcome its initiative to convene an open debate to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1540 (2004). Likewise, we appreciate the briefing by the Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson. Since the establishment of the Organization, the international community has encouraged the construction of a comprehensive and global legal regimen aimed at nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. In that context, the adoption of resolution 1540 (2004) represents a milestone in the treatment of the new threat to international peace and security embodied in the possibility that non-State actors might gain access to weapons of mass destruction.”

  8. “Peru believes that a united Palestine that recognizes the fundamental right of Israel to exist is an essential element for reaching a final political solution to this protracted conflict. My delegation therefore hopes that the parties will resume the dialogue in order to relaunch the peace process in the Middle East.”

  9. “In keeping with our longstanding and consistent commitment to the peaceful settlement of disputes, my delegation reaffirms its full support for and encourages efforts seeking lasting peace in the Middle East, which can be achieved only as a result of direct negotiations between the parties and on the basis of the full implementation by all parties of their obligations under the Madrid terms of reference, the Quartet road map and other agreements, as well as full respect for international law, including the relevant Security Council resolutions. In that regard, my delegation regrets the latest developments that led to the suspension of the direct negotiations under way with the support of Secretary of State John Kerry.”

  10. “In that connection, my delegation reiterates that the acquisition of territory by force is inadmissible under international law, which is why any actions seeking to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration are null and void. We call on Israel to immediately cease the practice of settlement, house demolitions and evictions in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, in accordance with the provisions of numerous resolutions of the General Assembly.”

  11. “The importance Peru attaches to this subject was shown by the recent official visit by President Humala Tasso to Israel and Palestine, which served to reassure both parties regarding Peru's historical position of support for the two-State solution and to reiterate our support for the Palestinian people. In the same spirit, and consistent with respect for the two-State solution, Peru recognizes the undeniable right of the State of Israel to develop in peace and harmony with its neighbours, within secure borders and free of any threat to its people. Peru therefore firmly condemns all acts of aggression against Israel. While we recognize Israel's right to preserve its own existence and security, it must be said that that right must be exercised with respect for human rights and within internationally defined and recognized borders.”

  12. “Consequently, and conscious of the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to set up an independent State and in the belief that the establishment of a Palestinian State is a key element for the peaceful and definitive resolution of this conflict, Peru has recognized Palestine as a State and supported the resolutions adopted on this matter in the United Nations, including our co-sponsorship of the historic General Assembly resolution 67/ 19, which granted Palestine the status of a non-member Observer State of the Organization. Based on those same principles, Peru voted in favour of Palestine's request to become a member State of UNESCO.”

  13. “Peru recognizes the need to implement General Assembly resolution 181 (II), which established the basis for the creation of two States on the territory of Palestine, one Arab and one Jewish, living side-by-side as neighbours within secure borders, in mutual recognition, in a climate of peace and security and free of threats or acts of force.”

  14. “Mr. Meza-Cuadra (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, I welcome the initiative to convene this open debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. I also thank Mr. Robert Serry, Special Coordinator for the United Nations Peace Process in the Middle East, for his presence here today. Since 1947, when Peru was a member of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, my country has consistently maintained a clear position on the question of Palestine, in accordance with the rules and principles of international law.”
