  1. “As stakeholders in the international system, that should be our goal, and it can be achieved if we improve our efforts to build and maintain peace. My delegation is committed to that goal.”

  2. “We support the Peacebuilding Commission's advisory role to the Security Council and the General Assembly. That advisory role should encourage the integrated strengthening and long-term commitment of both the United Nations and other entities to countries emerging from conflict. Our country shares a commitment to the pursuit of sustainable development and peace in countries emerging from conflict and recognizes the value of the relationship between the Security Council and the Peacebuilding Commission to better address the conflicts and situations in those countries. In conclusion and taking into account the various conflicts, it is important to ask ourselves if we are keeping the founding promise of the Organization to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.”

  3. “Guatemala, as a member of the Peacebuilding Commission, considers it imperative to provide the assistance needed by countries that are emerging from conflict, and trying to restore democratic institutions, in order to ensure inclusive dialogue with all the parties concerned and guarantee the necessary national reconciliation. It is only in that way that we can we stay on the path of peace, stability and development without risking regression. The Commission is in a good position to promote greater coherence and synergy in the policies and actions implemented in the three peacebuilding dimensions: political, security and development. In that respect, we express our full support for the recommendations included in the report of the Advisory Group of Experts on the Review of the United Nations Peacebuilding Architecture (see S/2015/490).”

  4. “Over the years, we have all advocated a greater commitment to conflict prevention rather than dealing with threats to peace after the conflict has developed. In conflict prevention, we must deal with the underlying causes through an open and inclusive dialogue, involving all the parties concerned, from the State and civil society to the grass-roots level. We reaffirm our commitment to fostering a culture ofprevention ofarmed conflicts as a means ofaddressing the interrelated problems of security and development and of strengthening the capacity of the United Nations to prevent armed conflicts.”

  5. “Goal 16 of the Sustainable Development Goals, for instance, reflects the need to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies and provide equal access to justice, based on the respect for human rights and good governance. That is why we believe it is necessary to ensure that all the instruments available to the Council be proportionate to the needs in the fight against crimes committed against the civilian population and contain strong elements of deterrence, accountability and justice. It is important that the lessons learned from the worst failures and best practices guide our future work. The Human Rights Council, the International Criminal Court and the specialized criminal courts have an important role to play in this respect.”

  6. “For Guatemala, the commitment to multilateralism and the United Nations is a cornerstone of its foreign policy. Our strong multilateral vocation is based on the conviction that global challenges, such as the maintenance of peace and security, the battle against poverty, the encouragement of sustainable development and the promotion of the rule of law, can be addressed effectively only within the framework of multilateralism and the United Nations. Less than two months ago, we adopted a new development agenda, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/1), in which Member States affirmed that, without peace and security, we cannot achieve development.”

  7. “Mr. Orellana Zabalza (Guatemala) (spoke in Spanish): First, I would like to express our gratitude to your delegation, Mr. President, for organizing this open debate on an issue of high priority, as well as for the concept note (S/2015/845, annex) that you have prepared, which contains valuable guidance for our deliberations today. We also wish to thank the other speakers who have preceded us for their statements. Before I continue, I would like to take this opportunity to express our condemnation of the multiple terrorist attacks perpetrated in recent days and to express our solidarity with those friendly countries, which have faced such difficult circumstances. My delegation associates itself with the statement made by the representative of Iran on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. We wish to add some additional thoughts.”
