  1. “We must overcome this challenge, extend the election period and make clear that this election will be for a single term. My delegation believes that, in the light of the relevant resolutions of the Assembly and with the strong support of the Council, the Organization, which brings together every State in the world, will find the best person to take on the great challenges of being Secretary-General and to fight tirelessly for the maintenance of international peace and security and the interests and aspirations of humankind.”

  2. “Fifthly, Costa Rica, first as part of the group of five small nations and now as part of the ACT group, has opposed the use of the veto, especially in situations of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. We support the French proposal of a code of conduct on the use of the veto and call on the permanent members to adopt a declaration of principles to mark the seventieth anniversary of the Organization. Finally, in the lead-up to the appointment of a new Secretary-General, Costa Rica calls for that process to be more inclusive, transparent and democratic. To that end, we must define profiles and hear statements by those who present themselves for election. The General Assembly must hold a vote on at least two candidates who have been preselected by the Council.”

  3. “Thirdly, Costa Rica stresses that the Council cannot continue to ignore Article 26 of the Charter, which compels it to develop plans for the establishment of an arms control system to promote the establishment and maintenance of international peace and security through minimizing the diversion of the world's human and economic resources towards weapons. From our point of view, such resources would be better used for development. Fourthly, Costa Rica urges the Council to use more flexible working methods and thus be more agile in its consideration of situations and more inclusive, on the basis of the principle of the sovereign equality of States. We reiterate our call for the full and systematic implementation of presidential note S/2010/507 and its updates and for the formal adoption of the Council's provisional rules of procedure.”

  4. “Such situations, when they occur, should be reported to the relevant entities, including the Security Council. Sovereignty must be understood as belonging to a sovereign State that is responsible for protecting its populations from mass atrocities. In this sense, Costa Rica reiterates its support for the Secretary-General's Rights Up Front initiative. We also reiterate that due account should be taken of the protection of civilians and human rights issues in general in the formulation of peacekeeping mission mandates.”

  5. “Therefore, Costa Rica wishes to make the following comments in its national capacity. First, it is vital to adjust the Council's work in terms of prevention and the peaceful settlement of disputes. The Security Council has the means necessary to take measures under Chapter VII, but is much less accustomed to adopting peaceful measures under Chapter VI. This must change. As members of the Group of Friends of Mediation, Costa Rica calls for the available preventive diplomacy tools to be used to the maximum extent and highlights the role of regional and subregional organizations in this respect. We also hope that the Council recognizes this and coordinates its work with other United Nations agencies with related competencies. Secondly, we highlight the link between conflict and serious deteriorations in human rights situations.”

  6. “Ms. Murillo (Costa Rica) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me to congratulate China for convening this debate, which gives us an opportunity to reiterate our commitment to the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations. My delegation associates itself with the statements made by the representatives of Maldives on behalf of the Accountability, Consistency and Transparency (ACT) group and Austria on behalf of the Group of Friends of the Rule of Law. Seventy years after the San Francisco Conference, conflict prevention remains one of the central reasons for the existence of the United Nations. It is undeniable that the maintenance of peace and security is closely linked to the resolution of issues related to development and respect for human rights, which are also central goals of the Organization in accordance with the Charter.”
