1. “The rule of law is based on a vast international institutional order, in which the effectiveness of multilateralism rests on fair and stable legal frameworks. Strengthening it requires us to apply new approaches in line with our times, such as the indispensable participation of women to achieve lasting peace, based on resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security. At the United Nations, we are building key structures to strengthen an international justice system and a universal system for the protection of human rights. Dialogues are under way to strengthen and reform the Security Council, bolster the General Assembly and consolidate peacekeeping operations in pursuit of new governance. Humankind will continue to face challenges, but only together can we achieve a just, legitimate and true peace.”

2. “From those exchanges, which took place in such a complex context, certain dynamics of inclusive dialogue were generated. Those can be replicated for the entire continent and are the best example of governance in the twenty-first century. By not succumbing to the pressure of using violence, our country demonstrated that dialogue is the only sustainable way of achieving recovery and development, while maintaining social peace. We urge the countries of the region to see that process of negotiation and dialogue as an element of unification in the face of the polarization that exists in our continent. Panama reaffirms its attachment to the principles contained in the Charter of the United Nations, which gave rise to a world built on dialogue and cooperation.”

3. “Understandably, the above-mentioned situations have had a profound impact on a population that had already been affected by post-pandemic restrictions that dealt a severe blow to countries’ economy and income. Today we must urgently take stock and reflect upon the internal Panamanian dialogue process that led to the appeasement of the protests, which began with just demands that were the consequence of a very distant war, with local repercussions. Those recent events brought about a very difficult — and, perhaps, the most complex ever — political situation. In order to address the situation, the Government, led by President Laurentino Cortizo Cohen and Vice President José Gabriel Carrizo Jaén, established a dialogue table where they never succumbed to the pressure to use violence against their own population.”

4. “Ms. Otero (Panama) (spoke in Spanish): The world is facing a global crisis on a scale not seen since the Second World War. We must therefore redouble our efforts to bring about peace and to re-establish the conditions for its sustainability. Against that backdrop, Panama is convinced that international peace and security are based on full respect for human rights, as well as the promotion of dialogue and cooperation among States. Following the pandemic, which has had devastating impacts on the global market, and, more recently, the effects of the war in Ukraine, my country has been able to manage governance and stability only through dialogue, and that has translated into sustainable peace and progressive recovery in our nation.”
