  1. “Lastly, we would simply like to add that we appreciate the efforts made by the Secretary-General to mainstream the rule-of-law perspective in the work of the United Nations, and we encourage the Organization to continue working to establish indicators and to measure the progress made as regards the rule of law. Probably the greatest practical challenge facing us today is the need to develop the ability to evaluate the rule of law as incorporated in mandates.”

  2. “It is also important to consider greater involvement on the part of regional organizations in this exercise, in accordance with Chapter VIII of the Charter. The physical proximity of such organizations to the countries in question and the community of cultural, historical and political ties give these bodies considerable legitimacy as an instrument. The goal is thus to incorporate the regional dimension of the rule of law and to make the most of obvious comparative advantages. The United Nations system as a whole should involve itself in those processes in a coordinated and coherent manner, avoiding potential duplications. We welcome the progress made here regarding coordination.”

  3. “Mandates must also facilitate accountability, either before national courts or before the International Criminal Court, in accordance with the principle of complementarity, The Security Council must actively follow up the cases examined and refer to the International Criminal Court cases of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Chile believes that this is an effective way of helping to end impunity for such atrocities. Similarly, where appropriate, programmes should include the concept of the responsibility to protect in its preventive aspect, in other words, in its first and second pillars. Mandates on the rule of law must address the gender issues that arise and ensure adequate legal protection for children in armed conflict.”

  4. “Mandates must be clear and precise not only with respect to the goals sought but also to means of attaining them and obtaining the resources to do so. One particularly important aspect is the strengthening of the judicial system, especially in societies that are going to apply transitional justice in the post-conflict period. Chile also emphasizes here the importance of reparations for the victims of violence and violations and abuses of human rights. Reparations promote the healing process and the reconciliation of society.”

  5. “Here the United Nations plays a role of facilitation and accompaniment rather than that of a stand-in for the parties. In addition, mandates with rule-of-law elements must adopt a comprehensive and systematic approach. In that connection, I should like to share some brief thoughts with the Council. First, mandates must respect the principle of national ownership. In other words, States and their societies must lead their own peacebuilding processes, with the assistance of the international community and of the United Nations. Accordingly, mandates must respond to local needs. It is the local situation that must determine the content of the mandate, rather than vice versa. There is no one size fits all in this connection.”

  6. “That is evident from the increasingly important role of the rule of law in the multidimensional mandates of peacekeeping missions and operations, designed to facilitate the creation or reconstruction of the public institutions of a State emerging from conflict, particularly in the areas of justice, policing and the prison system and, of course, support for constitutional and legislative reforms. This issue arises regularly in the Security Council, be it in the framing of mandates, at the stage of practical implementation or at the stage of lessons learned. However, the ultimate goal is usually the same: to help to create the conditions for sustainable peace in order to prevent the country from reverting to a state of conflict.”

  7. “That was the meaning of the commitments of the Heads of State and Government made in 2005 and the 2012 Declaration of the High-level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Rule of Law at the National and International Levels (General Assembly resolution 67/1). Chile is convinced that the rule of law should be at the centre of the post-2015 development agenda. The rule of law, human rights and democracy are fundamental United Nations values that are mutually reinforcing and form an indivisible whole. Internationally, the rule of law is founded on the Charter of the United Nations, as demonstrated by the fact that by virtue of its Article 103, the Charter takes precedence over other agreements of Member States. The linkage between the rule of law and the maintenance of international peace and security is today indisputable.”

  8. “Mr. Moreno Charme (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I should like at the outset to thank Lithuania for having taken the initiative of convening this open debate on the promotion and strengthening of the rule of law in the maintenance of international peace and security. The rule of law is the basic guarantee of very society, protecting the right of each citizen to exercise his or her rights responsibly. In addition, it is a limit to arbitrariness, both in relations between the State and individuals as well as in relations among States. Multilateral action in this area in linked to the duty to cooperate. That is why Chile has contributed to all United Nations efforts to achieve universal acceptance of the rule of law, which is a topic of legitimate interest to the international community.”

  9. “In conclusion, as the Secretary-General said himself here, the United Nations needs to continue to strengthen its links with regional organizations as a critical element of the Organization's work to achieve a better and more secure world for all.”

  10. “Peace and security in our region is one of the major drivers of integration, as well as a fundamental element in making progress along the path to development while also ensuring the appropriate inclusion of the region as a whole in the international arena. Collective action can be enhanced through the involvement of regional and subregional organizations, in particular in the areas of conflict-prevention, development and post-conflict situations. As I have already said, that is how we understand Chapter VIII of the Charter, inasmuch as we are a country that strongly promotes multilateralism and its rules.”

  11. “We would also like to underscore the role our countries are playing in the reconstruction of Haiti through the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, as well as the various forms of cooperation that support different regional and subregional mechanisms. We also wish to highlight the contribution that UNASUR has made in this area. That organization has drawn attention to the importance ofconsensus - as you mentioned in your statement, Madam President - as well as to transparency in military expenditures, the establishment of a peace zone in South America, the peaceful settlement ofdisputes and political cooperation. Those are factors that contribute effectively to the achievement of peace, and they are principles that we, the member States of UNOSUR, incorporated into the 2012 declaration of South America as a zone of peace.”

  12. “The region has been enriched by the establishment of different regional and subregional bodies, which we understand to be the guided by the principles of solidarity, cooperation and the rule of international law. Regional agreements have produced a series of advances under the scope of security in the broadest sense ofthe term, such as the declarations ofpeace in the Andean region and the establishment of MERCOSUR and UNASUR. In that connection, Chile attaches importance to the adoption of democratic provisions, integration projects and confidence-building measures, which play an effective role in conflict-prevention, peacekeeping and post-conflict processes.”

  13. “That is Chile's interpretation of Chapter VIII of the Charter, and that understanding prompts us to promote effective multilateralism that is genuinely capable of incorporating the contributions of regional and subregional organizations to address crises or conflicts that may affect security and peace. Our country recognizes the importance of the inter-American system, which has provided our region with a set of instruments that constitute a fundamental political and legal heritage for governance in the hemisphere. That system should help foster linkages and coordination between the region and global spheres. We also wish to highlight the positive relationship between integration and security in the Latin American and South American region.”

  14. “The task that we face today is to pursue development through joint integration projects. The issue that brings us here today is of particular relevance to Chile, whose foreign policy is based on fundamental principles such as the sovereign equality of States; non-interference; the binding nature of, and respect for, international treaties; the defense of democracy and respect for human rights; the peaceful settlement of disputes; and international cooperation. Those principles, which are set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, constitute the basis of international coexistence and a guarantee of world peace and stability. Collective action is imperative in addressing traditional and emerging threats. Such action is strengthened by the involvement of regional and subregional organizations.”

  15. “Mr. Moreno Charme (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): The Government of Chile commends Argentina's initiative to hold this open debate on cooperation with regional and subregional organizations in order to consider the maintenance of international peace and security from a regional perspective. I thank President Cristina Fernandez for this opportunity. The Latin America and the Caribbean region is a zone of peace. That has enabled us to cooperate in our pursuit of sustainable development as one of the pillars of stability. For us, meeting the needs of our peoples is, in essence, a collaborative effort for peace. That vision guides the Organization of American States, the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.”

  16. “Clearly, the precarious state of the rule of law, combined with the lack of development, provides fertile soil for crime. Accordingly, we believe in comprehensive support from the United Nations for Haiti. In due course, the Council should renew the mandate of MINUSTAH and emphasize its links with the efforts of other stakeholders relevant to the development of Haiti, in the light of existing circumstances. In order to contribute to the future of Haiti, Chile's participation is not limited to security aspects but also includes human resources training, police training, early childhood education and technical agro- ecology instruction. In all of these areas, we hope to continue to work to enhance our contribution to the security, peace and sustainable development of our kindred nation.”

  17. “We are currently reviewing the projects submitted by the Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, with a View to choosing the ones we will support, in addition to continuing to provide police fellowships. MINUSTAH must continue to perform its mandate for the implementation of quick-impact projects and assistance to the Haitian Government for the adequate protection of the civilian population, with particular attention being given to internally displaced persons and other vulnerable groups, especially women and children. It is a matter of particular concern that organized crime, in particular crime related to drug trafficking, is using Haiti as a base for drug distribution operations.”

  18. “The role of the joint mission was crucial for the smooth conduct of the second round of elections. Chile hopes that the final vote counting will also proceed smoothly and that in May power can be transferred to a new democratically elected President who, vested with legitimacy, will tackle the challenges with the full support of the Haitian people and the international community. When it comes to the strengthening of the rule of law, as shown by the report of the Secretary-General, much still remains to be done. There must be an end to the serious upsurge in crime, armed gangs and gender- based sexual violence, as well as to the trafficking and sexual exploitation of children. My country is committed to providing the maximum possible assistance in that regard.”

  19. “Accordingly, the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti must continue to work towards those goals, strengthening cooperation with institutions involved in the process of stabilization, reconstruction and democratic consolidation of the country, such as the Organization of American States (OAS), the European Union, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Union of South American Nations, the Inter-American Development Bank and international financial institutions. With regard to the country's institutional reconstruction, I wish to highlight the electoral process currently under way and wish to note the valuable contribution of MINUSTAH and the cooperation of OAS and CARICOM, through the joint electoral observation mission headed by Mr. Colin Granderson. The Government of Chile is grateful to him and to his entire team.”

  20. “In accordance with the principles underlying our foreign policy and with the priority accorded by the Government of Chile to its regional relations, our special commitment to support Haiti's own efforts to meet the challenges of reconstruction, development and stability is based on the principle of national ownership. The interrelated nature of those challenges means that sustainable and sustained progress must cover aspects ranging from security to democratic consolidation and from the rule of law to national reconstruction, including institution-building, the promotion of human rights and economic and social development.”

  21. “We recognize and appreciate his commitment to seek productive investments that can use and enhance the national strengths of the people of Haiti, its workers, its business people and its professionals. Our special gratitude also goes to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ambassador Edmond Mulet, for his tireless efforts at the head of MINUSTAH. His work deserves the highest praise. As the Secretary-General's report acknowledges, 2010 was a year of multiple crises in Haiti. Chile hopes that 2011 will be remembered as the year when there was a peaceful transfer of power, consolidation of the process ofpolitical and social stabilization and national reconstruction.”

  22. “Since that time, we have supported the efforts of the Government and the people of Haiti to achieve peace and security, development, the protection and promotion of human rights and the establishment of the rule of law. We thank the Secretary-General for his report on the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) (S/2011/l83*), which gives a full picture of the latest developments and indicates the areas in which our action must be strengthened. We also thank the United Nations Special Envoy for Haiti, former President of the United States Bill Clinton, for the comprehensive report submitted on the activities of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission.”

  23. “It also reinforces our appeal to the international community to demonstrate its solidarity with and support for the Haitian people and their efforts to attain peace and security, political stability and economic and social development. Chile aligns itself with the statement to be delivered by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Uruguay on behalf of the Group of Friends of Haiti, of which Chile is a member. Chile has a long-standing interest in the situation in Haiti. As a member of the Security Council when the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti was established pursuant to resolution 1542 (2004), Chile was one of the first countries to participate in the Mission.”

  24. “Mr. Moreno Charme (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile wishes to congratulate Colombia on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of April and on its initiative to hold a debate in the Council on the situation in the sister Republic of Haiti, a topic at the forefront of our concerns in Latin America and the Caribbean. The participation in this meeting of the President of the Republic of Haiti, His Excellency Mr. Rene' Preval; a great number of Ministers for Foreign Affairs from the region; the Secretary General of the Organization of American States, Mr. Jose Miguel Insulza; and the President of the Inter-American Development Bank, Mr. Luis Alberto Moreno, strongly underscores our commitment to addressing the needs of and challenges facing the Haitian people.”
