  1. “Chile condemns the fact that less than a year after the unanimous adoption of resolution 2165 (2014), which ensures the protection and security of humanitarian workers, there are endless ongoing attacks against them. In conclusion, we would like to reiterate that the humanitarian crisis can only be overcome if we can reach an inclusive political solution to the crisis, and therefore we should continue to encourage the search for such a solution. We value the initiatives taken at the meetings held in Cairo and Moscow, mentioned by the Secretary-General in his report, which constitute a first step. We hope that they can be complemented by the holding of other dialogue exercises on the basis of the Geneva communique. We reiterate our support to the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, Mr. Staffan de Mistura, in carrying out that task.”

  2. “Chile urges the parties to unequivocally implement humanitarian resolutions 2139 (2014), 2165 (2014) and 2191 (2014) in order to prevent the delivery of humanitarian aid from being used as a weapon of war. We stress the pressing need to free the besieged areas, in which there are over 200,000 people, and ensure access for the population to medicine and medical supplies. We take this opportunity to recognize the agencies, programmes and funds of the United Nations and their implementation partners for the tireless efforts that they undertake to deal with the tragic humanitarian crisis in Syria and the region in a climate that is very complex and marked by insecurity.”

  3. “We believe it highly important that enhanced measures be taken to ensure that the parties cease to put up obstacles to aid delivery in areas that are out of their control and put an end their ongoing attacks on basic services and infrastructure. We stress the importance of an end being put to attacks on schools and other educational facilities. The displacement of children, in addition to denying them the right to education, increases the risk of them being marginalized in society, with the resulting well-known consequences. For that reason, we support the Secretary-General's observation in his report that there must be an urgent effort to rebuild the Syrian education system.”

  4. “Chile strongly condemns the violence committed against the civilian population, regardless of where it originates, in particular the escalation of violence in Aleppo, Hama, Horns, Damascus and rural Damascus, among other areas. We deplore the use of any kind of weapon that does not distinguish between combatants and the civilian population, in particular the use of barrel bombs and the ongoing indiscriminate bombing and attacks with explosives, which have increased the number of dead, wounded and displaced by the conflict. The attacks and the capturing of individuals by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and their executions does nothing but exacerbate instability and insecurity for the Syrian population. All of those responsible should be held accountable before the law.”

  5. “Mr. Olguin Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We appreciate the briefings by the Assistant Secretary- General for Humanitarian Affairs, Ms. Kyung-wha Kang, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Mr. Antonio Guterres. We did not want to say this, but in reading the report of the Secretary-General on the humanitarian situation in Syria (S/2015/124), we were struck by a sense of death, desolation and desperation. It is evidenced in the fact that, four years after the conflict's start, we have stopped counting those who die daily. Over 12 million people need humanitarian assistance. More than half of the Syrian population are displaced and 16 per cent of the population is outside of the country.”

  6. “In conclusion, Chile shares the principles, values and goals that the OSCE follows and promotes, because we consider it essential that regional mechanisms and bodies strengthen effective universal action by ensuring conditions conducive to durable peace and security and understanding among communities and peoples.”

  7. “In that context, we underscore the support of the OSCE to democracy, the rule of law and human rights through its mechanisms and operations on the ground, on behalf of issues on the Council's agenda as well as issues that are not. Minister Dacie's briefing made clear that the main challenge of the organization will be in maintaining the legacy of dialogue and compromise, the peaceful settlement of disputes, the promotion of confidence-building measures and the implementation of the concepts of solidarity, responsibility and cooperation, which have characterized the organization. The OSCE remains an essential forum for dialogue and a stabilizing mechanism 4 even more so in view of the challenges facing the region today.”

  8. “In reflecting on the work of the OSCE, Chile emphasizes the promotion of inclusive development for the rehabilitation of fractured societies - an idea that is also related to conflict prevention and peacebuilding and corresponds to a development model advocating political stability, democratic governance and social cohesion. In that context, we reiterate that mainstreaming of the gender perspective is critical. The OCSE has contributed to conflict resolution and stability in Europe and is working to build trust and confidence in the framework of a positive agenda for the future. We believe that the organization has assisted its member States in times of difficulty, including situations that affected regional stability, security and global peace.”

  9. “Yesterday the Council reflected on history and reaffirmed the commitment to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations (see S/PV.7389). My delegation emphasized the full force of those irrevocable principles in guiding relations among States. Those values and norms also guide the OSCE in its work to resolve situations currently posing a serious threat to regional stability and global security, including protracted conflicts. We underscore that the territorial integrity and sovereignty of States must be respected.”

  10. “Mr. Olguin Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank you, Mr. President, for having convened this meeting to address the issue of cooperation between the United Nations and regional bodies and arrangements. We also thank Mr. Ivica Dacie, Chairperson-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), for his briefing. In commemorating 40 years of the Helsinki Final Act, it is appropriate to reflect on the OSCE's contribution in ensuring international peace and security. For Chile, collective action is essential in tackling both traditional and emerging threats to peace and security, and it should be strengthened through cooperation among regional bodies and arrangements. That is the sense in which my country understands Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations.”

  11. “We firmly believe that the way for the region to make progress is by effectively implementing the United Nations integrated strategy under the leadership of the Special Envoy and other international institutions. For those efforts to succeed, they require cooperation and responsibility on the part of the national authorities in order to ensure sustainability, strengthened institutions and respect for human rights, and the definitive establishment of democracy.”

  12. “Chile has always considered the protection of civilians and the issue of internally displaced persons to be important aspects of the work of the Security Council. We are therefore concerned about the fact that, according to the most recent data in the Secretary- General's June report (S/2014/397), the number of internally displaced persons exceeds 3.3 million. In that regard, we would like to ask Ms. Sellassie, working with the relevant international organizations, to continue to focus on finding a solution to the problem. The Sahel region is currently facing not only enormous social challenges but also those related to terrorism, criminal activity and now Ebola.”

  13. “In that regard, we support and welcome the work of the Group of Five Sahel in strengthening cooperation on the integrated strategy, as well as the Ministerial Coordination Platform for the integrated strategy in the Sahel, chaired by Mali for the next two years, and the efforts, supported by Chile, to bring peace to northern Mali. My delegation believes that particular attention should be paid to strengthening the rule of law and its institutions in the countries of the Sahel. A democratic system is the best way to achieve equitable economic development and ultimately peaceful co-existence. We would urge that over the next few months free and transparent elections be held in Burkina Faso leading to a transition to a civilian Government in November.”

  14. “Mr. Olguin Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We note with great interest the briefing by the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Sahel, Ms. Guebre Sellassie, and reiterate our full support to her, as we did at the Council meeting on 19 June (see S/PV.7203). We consider the implementation of the United Nations integrated strategy for the Sahel very important, since it should focus not only on security but also on such vital elements as development and social inclusion. In our view it is fundamental to implement policies that can help the population of the Sahel emerge out of extreme poverty by creating sustainable employment and fair income distribution within the countries involved. We believe it is right to focus that African problems must be dealt with essentially by the countries of Africa.”

  15. “Finally, we urge the parties to seek a peaceful solution to this crisis through direct political dialogue, exercise restraint and refrain from unilateral actions that could increase tensions. We reiterate our support for the efforts that the Secretary-General and the United Nations continue to undertake to resolve the situation in Ukraine. We also hope that the various independent international mechanisms will continue to contribute to finding a solution to the crisis.”

  16. “The dramatic increase in the number of internally displaced persons is one of the most disturbing elements. The delivery of humanitarian assistance must go forward without delay and in accordance with humanitarian principles. The efforts of the international community must be harnessed in support of the host Government, which bears the primary responsibility for assistance and protection. We stress the importance of strengthening the rule of law and the obligation to respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, General Assembly resolution 68/262 and international law. It is also necessary to observe the principle of non-intervention and non-interference in the internal affairs of another State.”

  17. “It is urgent that the ceasefire be fully respected, monitored and verified by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission, in accordance with the provisions of the Minsk agreements. We trust that all the parties will be able to implement the Minsk agreement, which is an inclusive political instrument aimed at achieving peace and calm for the entire population of eastern Ukraine. We regret the worsening security situation in the east of the country which has had serious consequences for the civilian population, which continues to suffer violations and human rights abuses from all actors. It is urgent that the increasing humanitarian needs in south-eastern Ukraine be addressed, as the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and other United Nations agencies have pointed out.”

  18. “Mr. Olgul'n Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the Assistant Secretary-General ad interim for Political Affairs, Mr. Toyberg-Frandzen, and we appreciate the presence of Ambassadors Apakan and Tagliavini at this meeting. We also welcome Ambassador Sergeyev, Permanent Representative of Ukraine, to the Security Council today. We regret that the Council has had to be convened today and express our deep concern at the further escalation of the crisis in the east and south of Ukraine. We are concerned about information with respect to a possible foreign military support in eastern Ukraine and what the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has told us.”

  20. “Chile participated in the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina with police personnel and continues to do so today in the European Union-led peacekeeping force (EUFOR) Operation Althea. Last year marked 10 years of uninterrupted Chilean military presence there. We believe that the presence of EUFOR Operation Althea in Bosnia-Herzegovina remains vital, which is why we supported the renewal of its mandate for a further 12 months. Similarly, we call upon the international community to maintain its commitment to supporting the aspirations of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a Euro-Atlantic future and to provide the necessary resources to fulfil its mandate under the 1995 Dayton Agreement.”

  21. “Chile's experience shows the importance of that process for national reconciliation, which is why our country experts have held several meetings with Bosnian authorities and technical staff with a view to enhancing their knowledge of methodologies and techniques for the search for and identification of victims. We reiterate the firm commitment that our country has shown from the beginning to the process aimed at achieving a stable Bosnia and Herzegovina that is committed to defending its territorial integrity in a politically stable State with functioning institutions in the service of its people and to creatingjobs, especially for young people, in peace and prosperity.”

  22. “Such acts undermine the cohesion among the various ethnic communities in the country, hinder national reconciliation and slow the country's progress towards Euro-Atlantic integration. Given the challenges resulting from the severe floods and landslides that affected many communities in both entities this year, we consider it important that the new authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina work together to address the challenges facing the country as it moves towards membership in the European Union and NATO. We support the efforts of Bosnia and Herzegovina to overcome its past, and highlight the important work being done in the exhumation, identification and return of the remains of people missing as a result of the armed conflict and human rights violations.”

  23. “Mr. Olguin Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mr. Valentin Inzko, for his briefing and for the presentation of his report (S/2014/777, annex). We begin by welcoming the results of the general elections held on 12 October, and we commend the fact that they were held in an orderly way. We also note the concerns expressed by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe electoral observation mission and we call for elected leaders to act swiftly to ensure the creation of the new Government without delay. Similarly, we call on all political leaders to take this opportunity to move towards true national integration and reconciliation and to refrain from negative rhetoric.”

  25. “We also condemn the politically motivated assassinations, including the cowardice murder of Salwa Bugaighis, who was stabbed to death in her own home in Benghazi on the day of the parliamentary elections last June. We recognize the work of the Prosecutor in the investigation of the crimes committed since February 2011. We urge her to persevere that work in order to ensure accountability and to ensure that those guilty of crimes, regardless of their origin, are brought before justice, including those who carry out acts against minority groups in Libya. Lastly, we emphasized the importance of the Libyan Government moving forward and sharing with the Council and with the international community its national strategy for facing those crimes.”

  26. “Since 15 February 2011, there have been a series of acts that are worthy of our attention: the situation of the thousands of detainees who are being held without any charges, the killing of countless people in the contect of the conflict in the country, as well as the matter of the forced displacement of some 30,000 Tawerghans. We appreciate the follow- up work of the Prosecutor on the issue. We reiterate our concern about the more than 7,000 detainees who have not been charged. Each passing day that they remain in detention - in extremely difficult conditions - serves to undermine their most basic human rights. The situation cannot remain as it is.”

  27. “Those who cooperate with the international community are strengthening their legitimacy. Therefore, we call upon the legitimately elected Libyan authorities to do what they can to comply with the request to turn over Saif Al-Islam Al-Qadhafi to the International Criminal Court. Let us recall that, following the decision of 7 August regarding Abdullah Al-Senussi, the SaifAl-Islam Al-Qadhafi case is the only case of the original three before the Court that needs to be dealt with. We believe that we also need to strengthen the legitimacy of the Council.”

  28. “Mr. Olguin Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We welcome the convening of this meeting and we welcome the presence of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor, Ms. Fatou Bensouda. We also appreciate her eighth report to the Council. We begin our remarks recognizing the complex political and security situations in Libya. On 6 November, the constitutional tribunal in Tripoli declared invalid the Parliament that emerged following the 25 June elections - and with that also the current Government of Abdullah Al-Thinni, which we recognize. It is essential to preserve the work and efforts deployed for an inclusive political dialogue that favours the strengthening of institutions, respect for the rule of law and human rights as well as cooperation with the Court and the Prosecutor pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011).”

  29. “We maintain that position in the constructive spirit with which we have approached our membership on the Security Council, and as an expression of our ongoing commitment to the democratic process, the rule of law, the promotion of human rights, and the socioeconomic development of Haiti, where the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti has played and continues to play an important role. As we pointed out when the resolution' was adopted, it is crucial to take the opinions of troop- contributing countries into account when we engage in reconfiguration processes. We believe that helps to make the Council's decision-making more effective and more inclusive. Lastly, we wish Australia a successful presidency, and assure it of our support.”

  30. “In that respect, we believe that this organ has a responsibility to contribute to finding solutions involving humanitarian crises. Likewise, we View favourably the measures adopted to strengthen and control the charcoal and arms embargoes established by the Council. We understand that such measures neither affect the rights and obligations established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, nor constitute a precedent, since they are based on a request made by the Federal Government of Somalia itself. We cannot conclude without referring to the adoption of resolution 2180 (2014) on the situation in Haiti, which my country supported despite the apprehensions that we share with other troop- contributing countries of the region.”

  31. “We also welcome the approach followed in the open debate on working methods that allowed us discuss the possible expansion of the mandate of the Office of Ombudsperson to other Sanctions Committees as a way to strengthen due process in proceedings. Similarly, we note the initiative to develop a follow-up mechanism for referrals to the International Criminal Court. With respect to the situation in Somalia, we are interesting in seeing how that can be addresed in the agenda from different points of view, which would allow the Council to act effectively. In that regard, we think it crucial that the humanitarian perspective not be set aside, not only in this case but also in all the situations on the Council's agenda, in particular those that are not high profile, such as the case of Somalia.”

We believe that the statements made in that debate will be used to guide the independent global study commissioned by the Secretary-General, pursuant to resolution 2122 (2013), particularly with respect to identifying the emerging issues linked to that agenda, such as the challenges raised by non-State actors, including terrorist groups.”

  33. “Mr. Olguin Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, I congratulate you and your entire team, Madam President, for the way in which you have led the work of the Security Council during the month of October. We appreciate the fact that you have kept the briefing format for the wrap-up session, a working mechanism that strengthens the transparency of this body. We would like to highlight two elements that we consider positive: the holding of the open debate on women and peace and security (see S/PV.7289) and the debate on working methods (see S/PV.7285). We appreciate the approach on the theme of women and peace and security, focusing on internally displaced women and women refugees, as an important step forward on this agenda and that of the protection of civilians.”

  35. “The Council's silence, the Prosecutor's briefings and the communications of the Court and the President of the Assembly of States Parties point, in our opinion, to a failure in meeting that responsibility. We believe that enhancing cooperation and communication channels between the Council and the International Criminal Court on these cases is desirable and feasible, and we are willing to pursue this line of work. We cannot conclude without recalling that the greatest political challenge that we must continue to address is the comprehensive reform of the Security Council. That is why we wish to reiterate in this context that Chile favours a serious debate in the General Assembly on the French proposal to limit the veto in cases of crimes that involve the responsibility to protect, and to strengthen the preventive role Security Council.”

  36. “Regarding the monitoring of Security Council referrals to the International Criminal Court, Chile considers that the responsibility of this organ should not be understood as being limited to its referral of situations to the Court and its hearing of an occasional brief presentation of its Prosecutor. The Council is responsible for maintaining appropriate dialogue with the Prosecutor and for undertaking responsible follow-up - and adopting the necessary measures - of the information that the Prosecutor and the Court communicate to the Council. That is so because two years ago the Council, in the context of its responsibility to maintain international peace and security, embraced the goal of ensuring justice and accountability for the most heinous crimes against humanity, pursuant to the Rome Statute.”

  37. “Our country supports the initiative to ensure that other Committees can benefit from this entity, with a possible extension of the Office's mandate to other sanctions committees as a mechanism for promoting respect for due process in our procedures. While we are aware that there is room to improve the 1267 Committee mechanism, as suggested by the Omburdsperson herself, we are also convinced that the very existence of the post of Ombudsperson provides the necessary guarantees of human rights and due process, given that she can make recommendations to the Al-Qaida Committee independently and impartially.”

  38. “One of the issues of greatest concern to Chile with respect to the Council's working methods is the need for greater transparency, inclusiveness and accountability, and to safeguard the effectiveness and efficiency of its proceedings. In that respect, we support the two proposals guiding this debate, concerning the extension of the mandate of the Office of the Ombudsperson and the effective follow-up of situations referred to the International Criminal Court. In that regard, Chile values the role that has been played by the Office of the Ombudsperson since 2009 and its contribution to strengthening due process through a review system for those who request to be removed from the list of sanctions of the Committee pursuant to resolutions 1267 (1999) and 1989 (2011) concerning Al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities.”

The working methods of the Security Council, designed to improve its efficiency and transparency, have a direct impact on the legitimacy of our decisions, and thus in the exercise of democratic practices. Chile, as a non-permanent member of the Council, appreciates the performance of the Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Matters and the progress made in the various issues proposed, aware that their effects extend beyond this principal organ of Nations.”

We commend this initiative and the exemplary manner in which this issue has been addressed under the direction of the Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Matters for two consecutive years. My country endorses the statement to be made by the representative of Switerzeland on behalf of the Accountability, Coherence and Transparency group. The results of our work allow us to highlight what it is possible to achieve in the Council when our efforts are characterized by commitment, tenacity and team spirit.”

  41. “Chile is confident that the spirit of cooperation and commitment that has been demonstrated by the Government in Tehran in its dialogue with the P5+1 on its nuclear programme can be reflected in other pressing issues in the Middle East. Iran's support in resolving such issues is needed. In conclusion, and with respect to the Panel of Experts, Chile notes the new configuration of that group. We underscore the need for the Secretariat to be guided by the principles of gender equality and equitable geographical representation in the Committee and in the other subsidiary bodies of the Security Council.”

That would be a good sign. Chile understands that we do not work in a political vacuum and that actions or measures that could be negatively perceived by either party and affect the climate of dialogue should be avoided. However, it is important to remember that while a definitive and satisfactory agreement that has been endorsed by the Security Council does not exist, the measures imposed by the United Nations with respect to Iran's nuclear programme will remain in force.”

In particular, we welcome the implementation of three of the five measures agreed in the Framework on Cooperation with the Agency, including two within the deadline of 25 August. We note that the Islamic Republic of Iran has begun discussions with the IAEA on the implementation of the two remaining measures, which are perhaps the most important, concerning the delivery of information on the conduct of explosives experimentation and neutron transport calculations.”

Chile is closely following the negotiations between the permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany and the European Union, on the one hand, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, on the other.

As our country has been proposing, we hope that resolutions on new committees, or the renewal of mandates, can duly address the matter of children in armed conflict. In conclusion, I think that nothing we do here today will allow us to forget the horror, abuse and death that Sandra has shared with us.”

  47. “States have the primary responsibility to end impunity and to prosecute and punish those responsible for egregious crimes perpetrated against children. Should States not have the ability or will to try those who are allegedly responsible, it should be up to the International Criminal Court to try those crimes set forth in the Rome Statute. Our country is aware that for there to be justice, there must be a preservation of evidence. To that end, there must be capacity training for United Nations and peacekeeping personnel regarding the preservation of evidence in crimes committed against children. Chile strongly condemns all acts of sexual violence committed against children and the perpetration of those practices that seek to use children as sex slaves.”

  48. “We also acknowledge the progress achieved by nine non-State armed groups in the releasing of children and in the publication of commitments to protect, including the prohibition of recruitment. In addition, the Secretary-General recommends the adoption of binding concrete measures to prevent the use of schools by armed forces and non-State armed groups in violation of applicable international law. In that regard, we urge the implementation of the guidance note on resolution 1998 (2011) and resolution 2143 (2014) through strategies and plans of action to protect children and their teachers, including establishing measures for follow-up. Adequate training on child- protection issues for must also be provided for civilian peacekeeping personnel before deployment and during a mission.”

  49. “We therefore support the initiatives of the Secretary-General and the recommendations set out in his annual report (S/20l4/339). We underscore the work of his Special Representative Leila Zerrougui, UNICEF and other actors within the United Nations system, including the Children, Not Soldiers campaign. We also appreciate the efforts of civil society in this realm, and we acknowledge the important support that Forest Whitaker continues to provide. We welcome the fact that eight of the Governments listed in the annexes to the Secretary-General's report have signed action plans or have made a commitment to putting an end to the recruitment and use of children by their security forces. We hope that those commitments will be accompanied by benchmarks and deadlines for their rapid implementation and sustainable implementation.”

  50. “The fact that children are so shamefully abused is an indication that we have barely begun to fulfil our obligations to protect them. The changing nature of conflicts, indiscriminate attacks against civilian areas and the increase and persistence of the killing, maiming and detention of children; the recruitment and use of children; the sexual violence of which they are victims; attacks on the schools and hospitals; and the actions of extremist groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Jabhat Al-Nusra and Boko Haram call us to live up our responsibilities. The situations in the Gaza Strip, Iraq, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Central African Republic and South Sudan serve to highlight that such actions continue to be perpetrated.”
