  1. “It lays down general principles to be respected by all States and individuals and must be implemented by the Security Council as part of its mandate to ensure the maintenance or restoration of peace and security. Today, the ICC has a pivotal role to play in this area.”

  2. “In that respect, Italy believes that the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the Rome Statute system are powerful instruments at the disposal of the international community to end impunity for the most heinous crimes of international concern. The relationship between the ICC and the Security Council is extremely important to reaffirming the rule of law and can help to reinforce the stability of international peace and security. The Council has already proven that a positive relationship with the Court can indeed be established, although some progress must be made in this area. The Rome Statute system is much more than the mere setting up of a court of last resort.”

  3. “With regard to the latter, we would like to recall the activities of the Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units (COESPU). In four years, over 2,000 peacekeepers of different nationalities, many from Africa, have been hosted by COESPU for training through an integrated approach that encompasses the rule of law as an essential element in peacekeepers' mandates. Another aspect of promoting the rule of law in conflict and post-conflict situations is that of not underestimating the issue of impunity. Over the past 20 years, the international community has resorted to a variety of instruments and institutional mechanisms to address this issue and to re-establish the rule of law in war-torn countries.”

  4. “Through those means, the United Nations will be able to bridge the gap, from the initial stages of peacekeeping operations, between blue helmets and peacebuilders. However, States and other international organizations also actively contribute to this end through the coordinated promotion of capacity building and initiatives aimed at strengthening the backbone of States' institutions. In that regard, we commend the role played by the European Union and the important work done by other international organizations such as the International Development Law Organization. Over the past decade, Italy has actively contributed to programmes concerning border controls, the improvement of legislative and judicial capacities, the drafting of criminal codes in post-conflict areas and the training of judicial and police personnel.”

  5. “The United Nations and its specialized agencies have in the past played - and will continue to play in the future - a crucial role in this area. Their expertise, neutrality and recognized capacity to have an impact on rebuilding mutual trust, which is indeed a prerequisite for the rule of law, are unquestionable. Italy therefore welcomes the important initiative of the Secretariat, which was recently approved by the General Assembly, to strengthen the Standing Police Capacity and to set up the new justice and corrections standing capacity at the United Nations Logistics Base in Brindisi. Those meaningful steps are aimed at guaranteeing the timely deployment, in the framework of peacekeeping operations, of qualified personnel specialized in rule-of-law activities.”

  6. “As far as this issue is concerned, Italy would like to emphasize the need for a concerted effort by all relevant actors. We must also acknowledge that not all situations necessarily require the same treatment, and attention must be focused on the specificities of each and every situation. At the same time, we all agree on the importance of promoting and strengthening the rule of law in the area of security, especially in conflict and post-conflict situations. That is the reason that Italy has been so committed to assisting States afflicted by armed conflicts to build up their own rule-of-law capacities. In doing so, we believe that the international community should spare no effort in helping them to re-establish the rule of law in all ofits aspects.”

  7. “Today's debate represents an important occasion to discuss a few points that may be extremely relevant for the future development of United Nations action in the area of promoting and strengthening the rule of law in the maintenance of international peace and security, and for international law more broadly. The concept paper prepared by the presidency (S/2010/322), for which Italy thanks the delegation of Mexico, is extremely solid and focused and invites us to concentrate on three main issues. As Italy associates itself with the statement that will be delivered by the representative of the European Union, I will limit myself to a few remarks concerning one of the three issues raised in the concept paper, namely, the promotion of the rule of law in conflict and post- conflict situations.”
