  1. “It is a unique opportunity for the largest regional peace and security cooperation organization to focus on important issues, including peacebuilding and reconciliation, and the participating States will review and assess the organization's activities, including on strengthening dialogue on security issues in all of the OSCE's three dimensions.”

  2. “We believe that the advisory role of the Peacebuilding Commission to the Security Council could and should be better used and further drawn upon to ensure that appropriate attention is paid to reconciliation at all stages of the conflict cycle. In that regard, we look forward to further engagement between the Peacebuilding Commission and the Security Council. Before concluding my remarks, let me also mention that, in just a few days, from 5 to 6 December, we will organize the OSCE Ministerial Council in Bratislava. Many of these issues are very high on the Ministerial Council's agenda.”

  3. “I would like to highlight the development of the first OSCE guidelines on security sector governance and reform, which we consider as practical guidance and an important milestone in that respect. The third priority of our OSCE chairmanship has been effective multilateralism and, in that context, the importance of United Nations-OSCE cooperation and partnership, including through the important work of the United Nations Liaison Office in Vienna. Lastly, Slovakia has presented its candidature to the Organizational Committee of the Peacebuilding Commission, which has a key role in bringing together the various actors of the United Nations system, including the United Nations country teams and civil society, which are instrumental in reconciliatory efforts in many settings.”

  4. “As well as supporting peaceful settlements through inclusive political dialogue and mediation processes, we have placed a particular focus on easing the daily lives ofthe people affected by conflict. Peace processes, including mediation and reconciliation, must be inclusive. Everyone's voice must be heard, particularly that of the youth. Young people's perspectives and their active engagement are crucial to promoting and strengthening international peace and security. Another important part of that, of course, is the context of Sustainable Development Goal 16, on building sustainable, peaceful and inclusive societies that are supported by a functioning and accountable institutional framework.”

  5. “Today it is more than evident that incorporating greater numbers of marginalized ethnic and religious groups into the military and police forces, security structures and rule-of-law institutions and fostering a cultural shift towards non-discriminatory and accountable public policy can help to alleviate grievances around security, especially in the aftermath of conflict. Secondly, on partnerships with regional and subregional organizations for building and sustaining peace, Slovakia holds this year's chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Our three priority areas in that context have been preventing, mediating and resolving conflicts; building a safer future; and effective multilateralism.”

  6. “In April 2018, South Africa and Slovakia, on behalf of the Group of Friends of Security Sector Reform, co-hosted a high-level round table on security sector reform and sustaining peace. The event underlined that security sector reform plays a key role in the successful implementation of both the sustaining peace agenda and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Given the vital role that security sector reform plays in conflict prevention, post-conflict reconstruction and sustaining peace, an expanded understanding of United Nations involvement and the contributions of security- sector reform to reconciliation is essential. We need a better understanding of, and education on, why peace agreements are often not fulfilled and why we are witnessing relapses into conflict.”

  7. “Recalling the twin resolutions on the review of the peacebuilding architecture (General Assembly resolution 70/262 and Council resolution 2282 (2016)), promoting healing and reconciliation and building a professional, accountable and effective security sector, including through its reform, are critical components to consolidating peace and security, promoting poverty reduction, strengthening the rule of law and good governance and preventing countries from relapsing into conflict. Let me focus on three important areas. First, Slovakia is a keen advocate of the issue of security sector reform as an important instrument to help maintain peace and stability, particularly in countries recovering from conflicts and undergoing the processes of post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation.”

  8. “Before delivering my remarks, I would like to state that Slovakia fully aligns itself with the statement to be delivered by the observer of the European Union. Reconciliation is aimed at rebuilding trust, strengthening resilience and forging a functioning relationship between the people and the Government, known as the social contract. It can be successful only if the process is representative and inclusive, embraces universal rights and values, such as freedom and human dignity, and if that reconciliation focuses first and foremost on the people and their safety, security and welfare.”
