  1. “Finally, we are of the View that the Security Council, the Peacebuilding Commission and regional organizations should establish a more complementary and tangible partnership in securing peace and security in the world by strengthening the nexus between security and development.”

  2. “The review of the peacebuilding architecture offers a unique opportunity for a clearer definition of the partnership to be established with the African Union and the African subregional organizations. However, the debate that has been going on for quite some time in the African Union has not yielded tangible results, a shortcoming that we hope the present review will address. In addition, we expect that this year's review of peacekeeping operations will afford a better understanding of the related challenges and insufficiencies and lead to the formulation of recommendations for rendering the cooperation between the peacebuilding architecture and the peacebuilding operations more effective.”

  3. “The success of the disarmament, demobilization and social reintegration of more than 100,000 members of the military was pivotal to the consolidation of peace, which laid the foundations for sound social and economic recovery. A lot still remains to be done in social and economic development, social democratization and inclusion, but we can say that in general the country is on the right track. We fully support the review of the peacebuilding architecture, adapting peacebuilding to the dynamics of the situation in each post-conflict country and working more closely with the Security Council, the General Assembly, the United Nations system and regional and subregional organizations in preventing relapses into conflict and working in coordination with regional organizations to consolidate peace and stability.”

  4. “The efforts deployed by the Angolan authorities to reach out to former adversaries and integrate them into society are well documented, as is the restoration of State institutions and economic life in general. That was a determining factor in the success of our peace, national reconciliation and reconstruction process. Furthermore, the full participation of political actors, women, young people, civil society and the media in the national debate led to the adoption of constitutional and legal mechanisms associated with peacebuilding. In social and economic terms, peacebuilding required the reconstruction of all the infrastructure destroyed by the war and especially the restoration of basic services to the population - roads, bridges, railroads, airports, ports, schools and hospitals.”

  5. “The peacekeeping operations review takes into account that fundamental element in strengthening the advisory role of the Commission. We would like to share Angola's experience as a post-conflict country and to offer some Views on aspects that we consider essential to a successful peacebuilding process. In political terms, in taking into account the principal of national ownership, peacebuilding demands trust and good faith on the part of the main stakeholders and requires that they work to achieve genuine national reconciliation. In Angola, the peace and reconstruction process required, first, the extension of the State's authority to the whole country, institution-building, respect for human rights and the rule of law. Social and political inclusion is a fundamental feature of any peacebuilding process.”

  6. “For instance, in countries with ongoing demobilization, disarmament, reintegration (DDR) and security-sector reform programmes, the Commission must provide pertinent information to the Security Council on the implementation and follow-up of such programmes in order to ensure that ex-combatants are not excluded and to create the best possible conditions for their better integration into civilian life, which is a crucial element in the peace consolidation process. In countries where the Security Council intends to terminate, draw down or reduce the personnel of a peacekeeping mission, the Peacebuilding Commission must draw the attention of the United Nations and the Security Council to the appropriateness of such moves.”

  7. “Women, youth and civil society organizations are powerful driving forces in peace consolidation processes and in social development in general. The review of resolution 1325 (2000) is an opportunity to take stock of that reality. As has already been said, the Peacebuilding Commission must strengthen its advisory role with regard to the Security Council and the General Assembly on issues pertaining to post-conflict countries.”

  8. “It also contributed to holding a donor conference for Guinea- Bissau, which took place in March in Brussels with remarkable success. That conference was an example of how the Peacebuilding Commission can strengthen partnerships by playing a key role in bringing together the international community, regional organizations, financial institutions and Member States to address the needs and concerns of the countries on its agenda. We welcome the Commission's efforts to involve women in peacebuilding processes and to empower and include them in all peacebuilding efforts. Overlooking the contribution of women and the crucial role they can play in peacebuilding and social and economic development is a mistake and a recipe for failure.”

  9. “The Peacebuilding Commission plays a mediating role between the United Nations and the international community by helping countries in post-conflict situations build their national institutions, strengthen social cohesion and carry out structural, social and economic reforms. The Commission also plays a crucial role in helping them to overcome outstanding challenges. In that regard, we mention the Commission's outstanding intervention in assisting Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, the three West African countries most affected by the Ebola outbreak. With regard to mobilizing resources, the Commission plays a crucial role in assisting in the consolidation of peace and stability. In the case of Guinea-Bissau, for example, it is helping the Government to implement its priority agenda.”

  10. “Last year, the United Nations peacebuilding framework deployed substantial resources in support of countries to help them move towards peace consolidation and to strengthen the nexus between security and development. The Peacebuilding Commission pursues its activities based on advocacy, mobilizing resources, strengthening partnerships, forging coherence in policy development and ensuring national ownership of the peacebuilding processes. Additionally, the Commission must strengthen its advisory function with regard to the Security Council and the General Assembly and make its actions more coordinated and incisive.”

  11. “We welcome Ambassador Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, former Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission, and thank him for presenting the Commission's report (S/2015/174). We praise the work that Brazil has been doing for some time as Chair of the Guinea-Bissau configuration and all of the efforts that have been made to ensure a meaningful process of peace consolidation in that brother country. We also welcome and thank Ambassador Olof Skoog, the Commission's current Chair. The Peacebuilding Commission has scored undeniable successes in countries on its agenda. However, we recognize that much remains to be done and that further efforts will be needed to maintain post- conflict gains in some of those countries. The issue under consideration in today's meeting is critical to ensuring lasting and sustainable peace in countries emerging from conflict.”
