  1. “It is the duty of the United Nations to take action towards a fair and satisfactory resolution of the Middle East problem. Here, the Security Council bears an inescapable responsibility to act. The States Members of the United Nations await such action, and now is the time to achieve positive results. We urge the parties to pave the way towards a peaceful, just, lasting and comprehensive solution to the conflict on the basis of ongoing dialogue and fulfilment of their commitments under the Road Map. That would unquestionably lead to stability and peace in a region where the parties must coexist within agreed borders.”

  2. “The 1 June statement of the President of the Security Council (S/PRST/2010/9) and resolution 14/1 adopted by the Human Rights Council on 2 June urge Israel to lift the blockade imposed on the Palestinian population of the Gaza Strip, to open all Israeli border crossings so as to allow free movement of people and goods to and from the Gaza Strip, and to comply with the norms of international humanitarian law and with United Nations resolutions. Ecuador is gravely concerned about Israel's systematic violation of those provisions, which simply blocks any rapprochement by the parties with a view to achieving a negotiated solution. Ecuador reiterates its determination to support all necessary efforts to prevent Israel from continuing to take illegal measures in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.”

  3. “Mr. Morejon (Ecuador) (spoke in Spanish): I thank you, Madam President, for having convened this meeting to address the very important issue on the United Nations agenda. I also thank Under-Secretary- General Lynn Pascoe for his briefing. Ecuador associates itself with the statement made by the representative of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. 10-45934 The Government of Ecuador once again reaffirms its position on the Middle East conflict: there must be full compliance with the norms and principles of international law, in particular those relating to the peaceful settlement of disputes.”

  4. “In conclusion, allow me to emphasize that, in an effort to ensure equality between men and women, Ecuador is working to identify the most appropriate way of setting up a national gender equality council. The challenges are numerous. But there is a reality that must be changed. Allow me, therefore, to reiterate the decision of the Government and the people of Ecuador to continue to cooperate with the international community to ensure the right of women to lives free from violence and to guarantee their full participation in mediation and negotiation processes, all aspects of peacekeeping operations, the delivery of humanitarian assistance and the post-conflict reconstruction process.”

  5. “Ecuador believes that all Member States, as well as the United Nations system, should more coherently and systematically apply international law and implement the programmes and policies aimed at combating ongoing complex problems hindering the achievement of the rights of women. Since 2008, my country has had a new constitutional framework that lays the foundations for participatory democracy. The preamble of our Constitution also acknowledges the rights of women and provides for a way to move from equality on paper to genuine equality by identifying how those who have been victims of inequality and discrimination due to tradition, history, culture or religious attitudes are to be treated.”

  6. “That resolution also reflected the Council's interest in the situation of boys and girls in armed conflict, the protection of civilians and the prevention of conflict. Ecuador has taken due note of the first report (S/2009/362) of the Secretary-General on the implementation of resolution 1820 (2008), which refers to various efforts by States to eradicate this evil. Despite the significant efforts led by the Secretary- General and the Security Council, Ecuador believes that it is urgent to achieve greater cooperation among the principal organs of the United Nations, bearing in mind that the General Assembly is the universal body charged with providing a normative framework to guide the decisions of all States.”

  7. “Mr. Morejon (Ecuador) (spoke in Spanish): Over the past 60 years, the United Nations has played a central role in combating all forms of discrimination and violence against women. It has also made a contribution to redoubling efforts to promote gender equality, and in particular to the establishment of an internationally agreed normative framework that provides guidance for the efforts of Governments and other stakeholders. In following up those efforts, Ecuador has ratified every relevant international treaty. We have also sponsored various General Assembly resolutions on this issue. The Security Council's adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) marked a milestone in acknowledging the importance of mainstreaming the gender perspective at all stages of a peace process.”

  8. “I wish in conclusion to reaffirm the determination of the Government and the people of Ecuador to continue to work together with the rest of the international community to eradicate all forms of violence against women and girls, in particular sexual violence, in every country and every region of our planet.”

  9. “Ecuador believes that a financially and operationally strengthened gender entity would help eradicate the scourge. We call upon States to continue to pursue the goals of United Nations system-wide coherence, which would enhance the Organization's effectiveness and efficiency in the field. A topic as sensitive as the one we are discussing today, which should be a matter of concern for all countries, deserves broad and systematic consideration by the entire membership. The international community should join its forces to establish mechanisms that would provide comprehensive assistance to victims of this scourge and coordinate efforts to punish perpetrators.”

  10. “My country believes that, notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of the Secretary-General and the Security Council, it is urgent to establish greater cooperation among the main organs of the United Nations, taking into account the fact that the General Assembly is the universal entity responsible for establishing the normative framework that guides the decisions of all States. Moreover, my delegation believes that the General Assembly should consider the subject of sexual violence, including when it is perpetrated during armed conflict, systematically and regularly, as it has done during previous sessions with the consensus adoption of a number of resolutions on working to eliminate rape and other forms of sexual violence in all their manifestations.”

  11. “The Security Council has made a significant contribution in its own area of competence by adopting a number of resolutions on the protection of civilians, in particular children and women, in armed conflict, including resolution 1325 (2000), which refers to sexual violence in situations of armed conflict. On 19 June 2008, the Council also adopted resolution 1820 (2008) stressing the important role of women in conflict prevention and resolution and peacekeeping, as well as the need to include the gender perspective in peacekeeping operations, and condemning all forms of gender-based violence, in particular rape and sexual violence. Ecuador has taken due note of the first report of the Secretary-General (S/2009/362) pursuant to resolution 1820 (2008). The report highlights the numerous efforts of States to eradicate that scourge.”

  12. “Mr. Morejon (Ecuador) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, allow me to thank you, Sir, for convening this important meeting to address a critical item on the international agenda. Ecuador believes that the United Nations has a fundamental role to play in combating all forms of discrimination and violence against women. My country is therefore firmly resolved to continue to support and strengthen that work, and calls on the international community to pool its efforts to that end. Ecuador has demonstrated its commitment by ratifying all relevant international treaties and by co-sponsoring various resolutions of the General Assembly on this important and sensitive question.”
