“We take this opportunity to urge the Iranian authorities to reverse measures aimed at reducing their obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which is a central instrument for the preservation of the non-proliferation regime and for regional and global stability. We also appeal for a careful assessment of the imposition of any new national sanctions, due to their implications for Iranian civilians and their potential to exacerbate current tensions and further erode trust. Against that backdrop, the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, is particularly pertinent.”

“In that regard, we encourage the continuation of infrastructure and development projects and the promotion of efforts aimed at enabling the Palestinian Authority to resume effective control of the area and ensuring that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East enjoys stable and predictable funding. Given the extremely delicate situation in the Persian Gulf, we echo timely calls for the leaders of the key actors concerned to demonstrate tangible signs of moderation, commitment to peace and respect for international law and the Charter of the United Nations. All differences must be channelled through the political and diplomatic track and never a military option.”

“We also underscore the urgent need to address, immediately and in parallel, the serious humanitarian crisis affecting the Palestinian population, which has been aggravated in recent years by financing cuts to aid programmes. To overcome this complex reality, we consider it essential to address its root causes, particularly the lack of basic goods and services and employment, as well as the isolation to which millions of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are subjected. The current situation provides fertile ground for those who promote violence and extremism.”

“We therefore encourage the political and religious leaders of Israel and Palestine, and all those with capacity to influence, to act responsibly and to promote the re-establishment of a high-level dialogue that will allow both peoples and the Middle East as a whole to advance towards sustainable peace. That will involve, inter alia, compliance with the resolutions of the Security Council. In particular, we deem it a matter of urgency to put an end to the growing practice of settlement-building, the demolition of property and evictions in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. Such practices undermine the two-State solution and contravene the provisions of resolution 2334 (2016).”

“We are alarmed that the prospects of a political solution appear increasingly distant and that unilateral decisions and actions or announcements thereof may result in further escalations of violence. Peru, guided by its commitment to multilateralism, international law and the peaceful resolution of disputes, supports the two-State solution, with internationally recognized and secure borders based on the pre-1967 lines, to be negotiated directly between Israel and Palestine. Such negotiations must also determine the final status of Jerusalem.”

“Mr. Popolizio Bardales (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): Peru welcomes the convening of the quarterly open debate on the situation in the Middle East. We thank Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, and Ms. Ursula Mueller, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, for their very comprehensive briefings. We have been following events surrounding the question of Palestine with deep concern. The rigidity of positions, the absence of dialogue between the parties and the constant occurrence of violent episodes have led to a stagnation in the peace process. The current scenario is unsustainable and destabilizing for the Middle East and for the international community.”

“Our task is to step up our efforts to ensure that the United Nations stands more robust in complying with the purposes and principles enshrined in its Charter, and that it becomes a catalyst for cooperation and partnership at all levels, with a view to making peace, social inclusion and prosperity available to all. I would like to conclude by recalling that former Secretary-General and compatriot Javier Pérez de Cuéllar noted that the role of a political institution, such as the United Nations, is to draw a line between efforts to build a better future and conflict and making it possible for nations to stay on the right side of that line.”

“We emphasize the validity of those purposes and principles and those of the Organization in order to resolve the serious problems facing us and to sustain and develop the collective security architecture and a rules-based international order so that we can thwart the emergence of major threats to peace and security. Specifically, we deem it necessary for the United Nations, and especially the Security Council, to promote dialogue and the peaceful settlement of disputes, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter VI of the Charter. We believe that this is vital to reaching peaceful solutions to major conflicts, such as those that are considered by the Council and which pose an ongoing challenge for it.”

“For example, one of the cornerstones of the international order is the prohibition of the use of force in any way that is inconsistent with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations. In that regard, we are concerned that some countries are positing arguments and interpretations that are ultimately alien to international law and undermine the collective security architecture. The limitations of the international community in addressing these realities should lead us to strengthen the dialogue, preventive efforts and international cooperation that are so necessary to implement the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter.”

“We view with concern the spread of conflicts and the emergence of new threats to international peace and security that, in many cases, are caused by geopolitical tensions and global phenomena, such as growing inequality, the effects of climate change, the arms race and transnational organized crime. In such an environment, neither ramping up violence nor resorting to war is a viable or acceptable alternative for the international community. This sensitive situation is exacerbated by current and frequent violations of international law, including Security Council resolutions and especially international humanitarian law. We cannot maintain international peace and security without respecting the rule of law and ensuring more inclusive societies.”

“Mr. Popolizio Bardales (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): As a country committed to multilateralism, international law and the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes, Peru welcomes the timely initiative of Viet Nam to convene this important open debate in a year marking the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Since the end of the Second World War, humankind has evolved and made significant progress. The Organization has been instrumental in building a better world. In many cases, however, progress has been uneven and the international order has shown limitations in responding effectively to new and changing realities.”

“Peru's actions on this item and other items on the agenda of the Security Council have been aimed principally at protecting civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law. Our approach, which is reflected in the content and provisions of the draft resolution, underpinned our vote in favour of it. Consequently, Peru deeply regrets that we were unable to adopt the draft resolution presented by the co-penholders, which we View as balanced, timely and essential. We reiterate the need for the Council, and its permanent members in particular, to recover their sense ofunity on this very sensitive issue, which is vital to meeting the heavy responsibilities entrusted to us.”

“Mr. Popolizio Bardales (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): Peru shares the assessment and concern of the United Nations regarding the serious humanitarian crisis across much of Syrian territory, and we therefore support all initiatives that contribute to protecting its people. We thank the delegations of Germany, Belgium and Kuwait, in their capacity as co-penholders for humanitarian issues in Syria, for their tireless efforts to reach a compromise that would be acceptable to all members of the Security Council regarding the content of the draft resolution (S/20l9/96l) that was submitted for consideration this afternoon. We also welcome the transparency and openness that they brought to this complex negotiating process, in which we constructively participated with the purpose of preserving a system on which the lives of millions of people depend.”

It has been a privilege for Peru to participate in the Security Council.”

“In this regard, any de-escalation or other arrangements, as well as the presence of foreign forces, must always be of a provisional nature and must not lead to a de facto partition of the country. As some of my colleagues before me have done, we assume that this is probably the last meeting of the month under the presidency of the United States and the conclusion of our participation in the Security Council. In this context, I would like to congratulate you, Madam President, and your entire team for your outstanding performance in conducting our work in December. I also express our best wishes for success to the delegation of Viet Nam in its upcoming presidency in January, as well as to the newly elected members who will join the Council in 2020 - Estonia, the Niger, Tunisia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.”

“Another great challenge is to address the serious situation that millions of refugees and internally displaced persons are facing, which requires not only the availability of financial resources, but primarily political will, to ensure their safe and dignified return within internationally accepted parameters. We also stress the need to avoid an escalation of the conflict that would undermine the chances of reaching a political settlement. The prospects for achieving sustainable peace in Syria, such as the aforementioned Constitutional Committee, depend to a large extent on preventing Idlib from figuring in the playing out of a new humanitarian tragedy. We reaffirm Peru's full commitment to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity of Syria.”

“We encourage the parties, especially the Syrian authorities, to show genuine flexibility and commitment, with a view to finding points of convergence that will lead to a better climate of understanding. We note the central role of the Special Envoy in this regard, as facilitator and consensus builder, and underline the broad support that the international community should therefore give him. We believe it is essential that, in addition to the efforts made within the Constitutional Committee, we promote the adoption of confidence-building measures that will contribute to a more favourable environment for Syrian reconciliation. In particular, we expect more substantive developments in the identification of missing persons, the handing over of mortal remains, and the release of detainees and missing persons.”

“We are therefore concerned about the developments described this morning by the Special Envoy, which point to the limited progress made in the second round of the work of the Constitutional Committee, which is attributable to an apparent lack of willingness on the part of the Syrian Government. This situation is not in keeping with the high expectations of the international community with respect to the work of the Committee, which is expected to draft a new Constitution that will lay the political and institutional foundations for sustainable peace. We note the sense of urgency to record tangible results on this issue because of the negative impact on the credibility of the process if there are further delays in such basic understandings as the finalization of the Committee's agenda and its work plans.”

“Mr. Popolizio Bardales (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We thank you, Madam President, for convening this briefing, as well as Ms. Altalli and Mr. Pedersen for their comprehensive briefings this morning. We commend Mr. Pedersenfor his hard work andprudence in seeking to bring the parties closer to an inclusive political solution. The impact of the Syrian conflict on its population and on regional stability leads us to reaffirm the urgentneed to makeprogress in theprocess that the United Nations has been supporting. The Geneva communique (5/2012/522, annex) and resolution 2254 (2015) must continue to guide our efforts.”

“We also stress the importance of mobilizing international community support for humanitarian mine clearance and the removal of improvised explosive devices in Syria. These devices continue to wreak havoc on the population and hinder the delivery of assistance. I conclude by reaffirming that only by achieving a political solution on the basis of resolution 2254 (2015) and the Geneva communique (S/2012/522, annex) will it be possible to overcome the humanitarian disaster in Syria while fully respecting the country's sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity.”

“Also with regard to displaced persons, we stress that any initiative that would lead to the return to Syria of its millions of refugees and internally displaced persons must be carried out within internationally accepted parameters that guarantee their dignified, safe and voluntary return. To that end, we consider it essential for the parties to continue to develop measures that might promote a better climate of understanding, including the release of detainees, the identification of missing persons and the return of mortal remains. We welcome the work being done in this regard through the Astana framework, but we note the urgency of achieving more substantial progress in this area.”

“On the other hand, Peru commends the remarkable efforts being made by the United Nations and other humanitarian actors, under extremely complex logistical circumstances, to provide sustained assistance to the more than 67,000 internally displaced persons in Al-Hol camp. We note that almost half of these displaced persons are from Iraq, which is why we encourage the authorities of that country to continue their efforts to facilitate the return of their nationals, a process that we stress must take place within internationally accepted parameters and with the support of the United Nations.”

“The north-western part of the country remains the focus of attention because of its population density, high volatility and latent risks owing to terrorist groups' extensive control of the area. We are alarmed that the levels of violence in that area have been increasing since October and that, as a result, another 136 people have been killed amid arbitrary arrests, kidnappings and the destruction of infrastructure. Peru reiterates its condemnation of terrorism in the strongest terms and believes that the terrorist groups remaining in Idlib and other areas of the Syrian territory must be held accountable and brought to justice. We nevertheless stress that we must not use the fight against this scourge as a means to justify putting the lives of millions of people at risk.”

“It is because of the daily risks and suffering facing Syrians that it is essential to provide immediate, unrestricted access for humanitarian assistance through the efficient use of all available means, including cross- border access. Peru is of the view that it is essential to extend that assistance for another 12 months owing to the high degree of sophistication and security it offers and the lack of any real alternative to it for those who are most vulnerable. We hope that this crucial issue will be addressed this afternoon from the sole perspective of alleviating human suffering and that the Security Council will remain united in its responsibility to protect the people of Syria.”

“Mr. Popolizio Bardales (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We welcome the convening of this meeting and Ms. Ursula Mueller's comprehensive briefing. We also welcome the presence here this morning of the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Kuwait, Khaled Sulaiman Aljarallah. Peru notes with deep concern the continuing conflict and the seriousness of the humanitarian situation in the Syrian Arab Republic. While there have clearly been significant developments on the political and military fronts in recent months, it is also clear that millions of people are still facing incredibly precarious conditions, further exacerbated by the harsh winter weather.”

“We believe that the existence of this sanctions regime, which takes into account the humanitarian situation in the country, is useful in fostering a positive climate for negotiations that will make it possible to denuclearize the peninsula and, at the same time, deal with one of the most serious threats to international peace and security today.”
2019-12-11 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8682 (2019) · source
“We reiterate that the North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, including related activities, must be abandoned in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner. Until that happens, the sanctions imposed by the Council must remain in force and be universally implemented, which requires the proactive efforts of Member States. In that context, we are concerned about the lack of monitoring regarding compliance with those sanctions, especially those related to transfers ofrefined petroleum products to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It is alarming that such transfers have increased in scope, scale and sophistication. We urge all States to exercise greater vigilance against the illicit transfers expressly prohibited under paragraph 11 of resolution 2375 (2017).”

“We are concerned that such actions, which affirm North Korea's intention to continue developing and improving the scope and sophistication ofthe capacities of these programmes, will be accompanied by new threats in exchange for significant concessions to be met before the end of this year. All that illustrates a scenario that is not very promising for the negotiating process, whose ultimate objective is the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. In that regard, we reaffirm the importance of keeping the channels for frank dialogue open, beginning with the resumption of talks with the United States, with a view to reaching a political settlement. To that end, it is essential to maintain the unity of the Council around that objective.”

“Mr. Popolizio Bardales (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We appreciate the convening of this meeting and the informative briefing by Assistant Secretary-General Mohamed Khaled Khiari. We would like to begin by expressing our strongest condemnation of the recent ballistic missile launches by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which not only are provocative and a serious threat to international peace and security but also highlight the clear contempt of North Korea's Government for international law, the nuclear non-proliferation regime and the relevant resolutions of the Council.”

“It is also essential that States lend it their political support in order to continue strengthening the Mechanism's important work and awareness thereof. I wish to conclude by highlighting the invaluable support provided by the Secretariat and the United Nations Office ofLegal Affairs, both to the Mechanism and to the Informal Working Group on International Tribunals, which Peru has the honour to chair. At the same time, I wish to underline the need for the Council to remain united in its support for the Residual Mechanism and its vital and historical work, as well as the preservation of its legacy.”
2019-12-11 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8681 (2019) · source
“Also commendable are those initiatives that the Mechanism has put in place to strengthen capacities for prosecuting war crimes in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, which are based on generating synergies with national authorities, transmitting lessons learned and providing specific assistance. We also welcome the efforts made to make the work of the Mechanism more accessible to interested members of the public by facilitating their participation in public meetings and hosting study Visits and training programmes for delegations of professionals from various countries. To fulfil and maintain these objectives, it will be necessary to guarantee the provision of adequate financing for the Mechanism, bearing in mind the time periods foreseen in the report.”

“We would therefore like to draw special attention to the continued support offered by diverse African and European Governments to ensure that convicted persons can serve their sentences in their respective countries. We also welcome the emphasis that has been placed on standardizing work across the Residual Mechanism's branches in The Hague and Arusha, particularly efforts aimed at harmonizing work systems and applying best practices, and on cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross in relation to the verification of detention centres.”

“We commend the positive, efficient and transparent manner in which the Mechanism executed its activities during the period covered by the report (see S/2019/622), including on its judicial agenda such functions designed to reinforce international criminal law as responding to requests for assistance, preserving historic archives, monitoring cases referred to national courts and participating in commemorative ceremonies and conferences on the application of universal justice. The cooperation of States is essential to the fulfilment of all of those functions, including the work of the Prosecutor, as it is States that are responsible for enforcing the sentences and orders issued and responding to requests for assistance and prosecution.”

“Mr. Popolizio Bardales (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We are grateful for the convening of this meeting and for the insightful briefings given by Judge Carmel Agius, President of the International Residual Mechanism of the International Tribunals, and its Prosecutor, Mr. Serge Brammertz. I would like to underscore the importance that the work of the Residual Mechanism has in the strengthening and promotion of international justice, which contribute not only to combating impunity and deterring against the perpetration of the most heinous crimes, but also to promoting reconciliation and offering effective responses to victims.”

“We would not wish to conclude without stressing the need to find a timely solution to the situation of internally displaced persons and refugees and of those of the more than 30,000 Iraqis who are allegedly affiliated with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, on the basis of their orderly, voluntary, safe and dignified return. I conclude by commending the work being carried out by the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq in that context, as well as the Special Representative, Ms. Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, and her team for their tireless efforts and dedication to the implementation of the Mission's mandate, including in a context of pressing humanitarian needs in a highly volatile and complex situation.”

“We would also underline the efforts made by the Iraqi Government to foster a peaceful and cooperative environment and also point to the efforts made within the country, in particular the rapprochement with the Erbil authorities as a prerequisite for the achievement of lasting peace. We also commend the fact that women are playing an increasingly prominent role in the political life of the country, with the appointment of Ms. Suha Ali Bek as Minister of Education. As we have already indicated, the participation of women, as well as that of young people and minorities, can only be good news when it comes to strengthening Iraqi democracy.”
2019-12-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8676 (2019) · source
“In that context, we deem positive the fact that in recent weeks, the Government has allocated resources and adopted emergency measures aimed at protecting the most vulnerable segments of the population and promoting positive contributions by Iraqi young people in order to prevent them from being recruited by extremist groups, which could view them as a sounding board for their messages of hatred and destruction. As set out in the report of the Secretary-General (S/20l9/903), we must not play down the terrorist threat posed by Da'esh and its influence in new arenas. The same can be said of other armed groups, which continue to pose a latent threat to national and regional security.”

“However, we believe that such endeavours must go hand in hand with measures aimed at ensuring moderation and respect for human rights as well as at bringing those responsible to justice, which would contribute to fostering unity, stability and reconciliation in the country. Such measures must also go hand in hand with a deep-seated structural reform process, including in the area of security, so as to allow for the 2020 provincial elections to be held peacefully and in a transparent manner. To that end, the international community must lend its firm support.”

“Peru has noted with concern the social instability and protests in Iraq and the fact that they are not being successfully brought under control or redirected towards efforts to promote the necessary political dialogue and ease tensions. We deplore the fact that, on the contrary, the people's right to peacefully express themselves is being denied and countered through the excessive use of force and through attacks against several cities in which lethal force was used, leading to a number of deaths and injuries and fostering a vicious circle of violence and mistrust. Peru agrees with the Iraqi authorities that it is necessary to urgently address the legitimate requests to tackle corruption, promote employment and ensure better services for the people.”

“Thirdly, in the area of sustainable development and peacebuilding, we believe that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Agenda 2063 of the African Union should mutually reinforce each other with the ultimate goal of addressing the root causes of conflict, promoting economic growth on the basis of the rule of law and encouraging the participation of women and youth as agents of change in their respective societies. We would also highlight, in the context of national reconstruction and reconciliation processes, the role ofthe Peacebuilding Commission as an advisory body contributing to the forging of alliances required for the consolidation of peace on the continent.”

“We would also like to highlight African experience with combating terrorism gained through regional operations in Burundi and Somalia and, recently, by the Group of Five for the Sahel Joint Force and the Multinational Joint Task Force against Boko Haram, which constitute innovative initiatives under the African Peace and Security Architecture. We believe it is crucial that the United Nations contribute to building the capacity of those entities with the aim of providing them with predictable, sustainable and flexible financing, particularly where the needs are greatest, in line with the Secretary-General's Action for Peacekeeping initiative.”

“Secondly, in the area of peacekeeping operations, we believe that the current momentum aimed at increasing efficiency and performance standards in such operations requires capitalizing the comparative advantages of both global and regional bodies. The promising results of the joint analysis and evaluation visits carried out by officials of the Secretariat and the African Union show the potential of that approach, grounded in resolutions 2320 (2016) and 2457 (2019) and the Joint Framework for an Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security.”

“First, in the area of conflict prevention, we consider it necessary to strengthen the continent's monitoring and early-warning capabilities, including the United Nations offices in the region. In particular, it will be crucial to continue promoting the development of preventive diplomacy and recourse to peaceful means of dispute settlement at the regional level, in the light of positive experiences and lessons learned, including those of the Economic Community of West African States in Guinea-Bissau and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development in South Sudan, with which the Council promotes active cooperation.”

“We welcome in particular the agreements reached in the Sudan and the Central African Republic, where we participate with a significant number of troops as a part of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic. The development of a comprehensive regional legal basis with new administrative structures and coordination mechanisms has been fostering synergies and complementarities among the United Nations system, including the Security Council, and the various African regional and subregional organizations with a view to institutionalizing and making the peace and global security architecture more effective. In that regard, we would like to refer to three areas in which we believe there is still significant potential for shared effort to be developed.”

The resolution therefore also highlights that United Nations entities, in particular the Counter-Terrorism Office and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, will continue to provide support in that area. It also calls on the Secretary-General to report on the subject. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers.

“The new text also highlights the existing links between terrorism and trafficking in drugs, weapons and persons, as well other crimes, such as illicit trafficking in natural resources, metals and minerals. Resolution 2482 (2019) also highlights other aspects, such as the need to strengthen border control, better coordinate cross-border investigations in the case of links between terrorism and organized crime, and improve information-sharing within Governments, between public and private authorities and at the international level. I would also like to stress the importance of promoting good governance and combating corruption. It is essential to strengthen anti-money-laundering and terrorism financing policies, in accordance with the Palermo Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and other relevant instruments.”
