  1. “Mr. Olguin Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish):We thank the United States for convening this open debate and we thank Foreign Minister Asselborn of Luxembourg for his country's leadership of the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict. Important recommendations have emerged from its work. We also thank the guest briefers and, in particular, we thank Ms. Sandra Uwiringiyimana, whose childhood marked by conflict should inspire us to continue working on this agenda. My delegation associates itself with the statement to be made by the representative of Austria on behalf of the Human Security Network, of which my country is part. Graca Machel once recalled that there were clear moral and overwhelming reasons to protect all children in armed conflict.”

  2. “Equally important to the reconciliation process is the safe return of refugees and internally displaced persons, in accordance with resolution 1244 (1999), including their reintegration into social and economic activities. We also call for the continued implementation at all levels of resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security, in order to enable women to participate fully and effectively in decision-making and to ensure that due account is taken of their needs. In conclusion, we reaffirm the importance of resolution 1244 (1999) as a fundamental tool to be used in the region of Kosovo in order to promote its communities' reconciliation, stability and prosperity. We also take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the work of the Chief Prosecutor of the European Union Special Investigative Task Force, Mr.”

  3. “We also welcome the decision to extend EULEX's activities in Kosovo for another year. We are concerned about the acts of violence committed during the demonstration in South Mitrovica on 22 June, when the Kosovo police, EULEX and the Kosovo Force helped to reduce tensions. Such acts pose a threat to the Agreement between the parties and are a reminder that the road to reconciliation between the communities is long and hard. We emphasize the important work of the Serbian- Kosovo Working Group on Missing Persons, advised by UNMIK, on the Rudnica exhumation site and consider it vital that the tasks of exhumation, identification and return will continue for missing-persons cases. Chile's own experience has shown how important such tasks are to achieving national reconciliation, since they encourage the search for truth.”

  4. “We also appreciate the negotiation and adoption of new statutes for the Serbian majority municipalities and the establishment of an association of those municipalities, as outlined in the Agreement. We urge that the high- level meetings between Belgrade and Pristina that were suspended during the elections be re-started as soon as possible. It is essential that the parties participate actively in the dialogue facilitated by the European Union in order to reach their shared goal of better cooperation in building peace and the rule oflaw. In that context, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) deserve special mention for their contribution to the process of establishing the rule of law and maintaining security in Kosovo.”

  5. “Mr. Olguin Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Mr. Farid Zarif for presenting the report on the implementation of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) (S/2014/558), and we welcome Foreign Ministers Ivica Dacie and Enver Hoxhaj. I would like to begin by highlighting the formation of the new Serbian Government, led by Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucie, and by commending the Government's prompt confirmation of its willingness to continue its high-level dialogue with Pristina, facilitated by the European Union, and the full implementation of the 19 April 2013 First Agreement of Principles on the Normalization of Relations. We commend the peaceful and orderly conduct of the parliamentary elections held in Kosovo on 8 June.”

  6. “While this has already been discussed, at our meeting on 19 August (see S/PV.7245), I would like to mention that we appreciate the fact that in both South Sudan and Somalia we met with civil society and women's groups and could pass along the message on the need to ensure their full and effective participation throughout all stages of the political processes. Finally, we would like to point out that for my delegation it was a special honour to co-chair, together with Luxembourg, the segment on the international courts and tribunals in The Hague. This reflects the standing commitment of Chile to the peaceful settlements of disputes. We welcome the presidency of the United States delegation and we wish it all the best.”

  7. “A forward-looking analysis indicates that the situation in Iraq will continue to occupy a central place on our agenda. We believe that the adoption of resolution 2170 (2014), on terrorism in Iraq and Syria, which Chile co-sponsored, will provide us a useful tool that will enable us to be prepared. The adoption of that resolution shows that the Security Council, when it so intends, is capable of finding, quickly and through dialogue, common elements to contribute to tackling serious threats to international peace and security. The Council's visit to Europe and Africa was a milestone in the month's work and has special value in supporting the discussions in New York.”

  8. “That made it possible to acknowledge the need to continue working on the use, implementation and improvement of the mechanisms for prevention and early warning that we rely on today and the need to improve communication among the various actors of the system and of the system with civil society. An analysis of the Council's efficiency must necessarily include its response to the situation in Gaza. We welcome the consensus reached among the members on the idea that the status quo in Gaza is unsustainable and on the need to address at one time the issues underlying the conflict. We hope that after the ceasefire agreed between the parties last Tuesday, 26 August, the Council can speak in a firm and consistent manner on this issue, shouldering its role in the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  9. “Mr. Olguin Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We join in congratulating your delegation and your presidency, Mr. President, for the effectiveness and the leadership you have shown throughout the month of August. We also thank you for convening this wrap-up session. We welcome your choice of conflict prevention as the theme of your presidency. We also welcome the holding of the open debate (see S/PV.7247) and the unanimous adoption of resolution 2171 (2014). That reaffirms the commitment of Member States and of the Council to the peaceful settlement of disputes through mechanisms established in the Charter of the United Nations and elsewhere, based on the principle of free choice and the strictest respect for international law and international treaties in force.”

  10. “In recognizing the sovereignty of national institutions, we share the Secretary- General's disappointment over the verdicts delivered in the trials for the killings and mass rapes in Minova, and we hope that they will serve as an impetus to carry out reforms to ensure the independence of the judiciary and the court of appeals.”

  11. “In that regard, we value the reform and training of the police sector, but we reiterate our concern over the delays in the deployment of the army battalions that are to make up the rapid-reaction force. MONUSCO and the country team must continue to support structural reforms and decentralization, including in the mining sector, which requires the implementation of mechanisms to regulate and supervise the supply chain, to prevent and avoid the illicit trafficking of minerals, which finances armed groups, many of which recruit and use children. In conclusion, we reiterate the importance of protecting the civilian population and of continuing to fight against impunity.”

  12. “The number of internally displaced persons has decreased to 2.6 million, but we are concerned about the increase in the number of internally displaced persons in Katanga province as a result of the attacks of the Bakata Katanga, among others. That is why we must examine and geographically refocus the humanitarian and financial efforts to address the special needs of women and girls, including survivors of sexual violence, a struggle to which President Kabila is committed. Although the Democratic Republic of the Congo has made gradual progress in complying with the six national commitments of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework, signed more than a year ago, key reforms in areas such as justice and security have been slow.”

  13. “That defeat must be used to foster inclusive dialogue, ensure funding for the country team's electoral tasks and mobilize political, governmental and regional backing to support the sustainable implementation of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the region, including the participation of women and civil society. MONUSCO must use all its capabilities to carry out the effective disarmament of the Forces Democratiques de Liberation du Rwanda in line with the Nairobi plan, to close the gap between demobilization and reintegration, and to neutralize the Allied Democratic Forces and other groups, in order to make progress in the implementation of the third disarmament, demobilization and reintegration plan and the action plan to prevent child recruitment.”

  14. “Mr. Olgul'n Cigarroa (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Mr. Martin Kobler, Mrs. Mary Robinson and Mr. Joao Goncalves Lourenco, Minister of Defence of Angola, for their briefings. We would like to welcome Lieutenant General dos Santos Cruz and commend him for his outstanding and dedicated work. We also commend the staff of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) and the country team for their work. We wish every success to Mrs. Mary Robinson in her new role, and we welcome the appointment of Mr. Said Djinnit, which coincides with a crucial stage marked by the defeat of the Mouvement du 23 mars (M-23).”
