1. “All that I have just said regarding the future of peacekeeping operations is contingent on their having adequate financing. In this regard, as Chair of the Group of 77 and China, my country has just painstakingly negotiated, in the Fifth Committee of the General Assembly, a draft resolution that reflects the consensus on the next measures to be adopted, given the need for the efforts of troop- and police- contributing countries to be met by an equivalent commitment by those countries with higher financial responsibilities. This is not merely a budgetary matter, but a political one that affects the performance and credibility of the Organization in the critical field of peacekeeping and that must therefore be duly taken into consideration when evaluating and planning any future peace mission.”

2. “In this regard, we believe that the move towards this type of more complex and integrated mission, with a clear mandate and robust rules of engagement, constitutes one of the greatest achievements of the last decade and one which we must preserve and improve. Argentina is currently participating in six peacekeeping operations with both military and police personnel. Recently, together with Chile, we offered the United Nations the Cruz del Sur combined joint peacekeeping force, which, as of 2012, will be available to the United Nations standby arrangements system. Also in 2012, along with Peru, we expect to 11-4815] have an engineer contingent ready to offer for deployment to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti.”

3. “Since peacekeeping operations are the essential United Nations tool for maintaining international peace and security, our active participation in these operations is clear evidence of our commitment to that system, which in our view must be progressively improved and strengthened. In addition to contributing to strengthening the peacekeeping system, another fundamental reason for our participation in peacekeeping missions is the close link between peacekeeping and the protection of human rights, particularly through the rebuilding of institutions and the strengthening of democracy and the rule of law in countries where increasingly complex multidimensional operations are deployed.”

4. “Mr. Oyarzabal (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): First, I would like to express my country's most vigorous condemnation of the attack on United Nations House in Abuja, and extend our condolences to the families of the victims, the Government of Nigeria and the United Nations family. Allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on the work you have carried out in presiding over the Security Council during the month of August and to thank you for having convened this open debate on an issue to which Argentina attributes great importance. Argentina supports the development of a transparent and democratic peacekeeping system within the framework of the United Nations, with consolidated multilateral institutions and mechanisms that serve to ensure respect for international law.”
