  1. “It goes without saying that information-gathering through covert actions, the tapping of communications and the use of informant networks is unacceptable and cannot take place been under any circumstances. To conclude, we wish to reaffirm that sustained peace and the well-being ofpeoples is achieved through a political resolution to conflict and dealing with the root causes. This should be the guiding light of our efforts in the framework of the United Nations.”

  2. “Likewise, in undertaking their functions, peacekeeping operations must have clear mandates approved by the Security Council with regard to the protection of civilians, avoiding their involvement as a party to the conflict. In this process, we must ensure that peacekeeping operations have the necessary logistical and technical training resources to carry out its complex tasks. Under no circumstances can the United Nations use electronic media to gather intelligence signals or to detect radar or radio-electric waves emitted by the host State or its neighbours, which would compromise the confidentiality and security of the communications of such States. The same applies to any other technology or similarly invasive method, except when it has the consent of the State concerned.”

  3. “This parameter must be borne in mind in assessing the potential deployment of a peacekeeping operation in the field. In this vein, we reaffirm the important responsibility of the Secretariat, in the framework of the sequential focus, to travel to the field beforehand and undertake an in-depth analysis of the context of the conflict and the priorities and intentions of the parties and other relevant stakeholders in determining whether the security and political conditions on the ground are appropriate for the deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping operation. Failing that, the mission would become involved in the conflict and a constant target of attacks.”

  4. “Furthermore, Venezuela wishes to stress that peacekeeping operations were not created to initiate or relaunch political processes; administer conflicts where there is no peace; or participate in military operations against terrorist groups or take on the residual tasks of anti-terrorist or other offensive operations undertaken by ad hoc coalitions or by regional or subregional forces that have withdrawn from the field. Our delegation believes that the joint report of the African Union and the United Nations on benchmarks for the deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping operation in Somalia of 30 June 2015 established an important precedent by determining that the security situation on the ground was not yet appropriate for the deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping operation.”

  5. “also firmly supports the complete reorganization of current modalities for triangular cooperation in order for this cooperation to be more results-oriented and more beneficial to all. We are prepared to undertake cooperation with the Secretariat and the Security Council to continue to develop new modes of international cooperation that would make it possible for both the parties concerned and United Nations peacekeeping operations to benefit from renewed and revitalized cooperation. In my national capacity, I wish to express our condolences to the families of the victims of terrorist attacks that took place on 6 November in Mali, and our expressions of support and condolence to the Governments of Mali and Togo, the Blue Helmets and the French-led international force, which were the target of violent acts.”

  6. “reiterates that the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations is the only United Nations forum that has the mandate of comprehensively considering the issue of United Nations peacekeeping operations in all their aspects, and that the role of the Committee continues to have great importance in the process of drawing up strategic recommendations. Likewise, the Movement stresses the importance of the full participation of troop- and police-contributing countries in the formulation of policies and in the decision-making process so as to collaboratively achieve the effectiveness required for the success of United Nations peacekeeping missions. NAM. also highlights the need to establish effective triangular cooperation between troop- and police-contributing countries, the Secretariat and the Security Council. NAM.”

  7. “Although information-gathering, sometimes called intelligence, can contribute to the security and protection of peacekeeping personnel and civilians, NAM. recognizes that there remain valid and legitimate concerns in this respect. The Movement praises the commitment of the Secretariat and Member States in this respect and stresses the need to reach a consensus among Member States on this very important and delicate topic in the framework of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations before continuing to develop a policy framework. NAM. reiterates its position that the General Assembly has the essential function within the United Nations system of formulating concepts, policies and budgetary questions related to peacekeeping. That is why NAM.”

  8. “We must also preserve respect for the principles of sovereign equality, political independence, the territorial integrity of all States and non-interference in affairs that are essentially part of the internal jurisdiction of States. NAM. believes that peacekeeping operations should not be used as an alternative either to deal with the root causes of conflicts or to manage them. Conflict management must be based on and implemented through political, social and development tools in order to achieve a fluid transition to lasting peace, security and sustainable development. I must also add that exit strategies must always be agreed upon at the first stage of mission planning and must be reviewed on a periodic basis.”

  9. “The Non-Aligned Movement wishes to emphasize that the establishment of any peacekeeping operation or the extension of the mandate of such an operation must be done with strict respect for the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations as well as for the principles that it has elaborated to regulate such operations, which have become basic principles, mainly, the consent of the parties, impartiality and the non-use of force except in cases of self-defence. These basic principles, which have guided United Nations peacekeeping operations for five decades now without any controversy, remain relevant and must be preserved.”

  10. “In view of the worsening situation in many field missions, NAM. also stresses the need for the United Nations to develop effective security and protection policies for peacekeeping personnel, and strongly condemns the killing and kidnapping of, and selective acts of aggression against, United Nations peacekeepers as well as all acts of violence against them. Aware of the risks inherent in the maintenance of peace, NAM. wishes to convey its deepest respect for the memory of United Nations peacekeeping personnel who lost their lives in the service of peace. Their sacrifice must be lasting testimony to the unparalleled work that they did for peace and stability.”

  11. “The Non-Aligned Movement notes that peacekeeping has become the main activity of the United Nations and highlights the fact that non-aligned countries currently provide more than 88 per cent of the peacekeeping troops on the ground, thereby contributing significantly to the maintenance of international peace and security under the Organization's auspices. The Non-Aligned Movement is deeply concerned about the large number of deaths of peacekeeping personnel in recent years, and urges the Secretariat and other interested parties to make the safety and security of United Nations peacekeeping staff a top priority. Inview ofthe deteriorating security situationinmany field missions, the Non-Aligned Movement stresses the need for the United Nations to adopt effective security and protection policies for peacekeeping personnel.”
