  1. “In that regard, in order to implement the measures set out in resolution 1540 (2004), last November Peru organized a round table that brought together national authorities to discuss aligning our national legislation in the area of biological weapons. We are grateful for the support we received from the Committee and its Group of Experts. Finally, we underscore the importance of the Committee's work, especially the work it is carrying through its programme of work to promote the full implementation of resolution 2325 (2016), which will serve as the basis for its next comprehensive review in 2021, in accordance with paragraph 3 of resolution 1977 (2011).”

  2. “We also want to stress the importance ofmaintaining the Security Council's steadfast and united commitment to the case ofthe unacceptable use of chemical weapons in Syria, with a view to fully investigating the facts and ensuring appropriate accountability through the mechanism for the attribution of responsibilities. We are equally concerned that the inappropriate use of scientific innovations may lead to proliferation activities, in particular through the illegal transfer of technology and illicit financial transactions. In that regard, we wish to emphasize the importance of the implementation, by all States, of measures to fulfil all their obligations, especially those related to national and export controls. It is necessary for all States to have effective national controls, in accordance with resolution 2325 (2016).”

  3. “Peru believes it is essential that the international community remain united in responding effectively to the serious challenges facing non-proliferation regimes. In that regard, it is urgent and indispensable to address the challenge posed by the nuclear and ballistic missile programme of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Peru supports and implements the sanctions regime imposed against that country, and hopes that the dialogue established with the North Korean Government will pave the way for the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.”

  4. “Mr. Prieto (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We want to thank Ambassador Dian Triansyah Djani for his briefing on the work of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). We commend him and his team for their work and express our strong support for promoting the full implementation by all States of resolution 1540 (2004). Peru would like to reiterate its resolute commitment to efforts to achieve general and complete disarmament and the non-proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and their means of delivery, which pose a threat to international peace and security. We are particularly concerned about their link to the terrorist threat and the risk that non-State actors might acquire, develop or use such weapons and their means of delivery or engage in their trafficking.”

  5. “We call on States to comply with the relevant obligations under international law to put an end to impunity and to hold those responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law accountable for their acts. Peru commits to work with other States to address outstanding issues in this area, in order to ensure accountability, punish those responsible and improve the protection of the wounded and sick and of health and humanitarian personnel, their equipment and means of transport, hospitals and other health facilities.”

  6. “Incorporating recognized norms into personnel doctrines has allowed the peacekeepers that Peru contributes to peacekeeping operations to be soundly prepared in areas of international humanitarian law, which translates into impeccable performance on the ground. Peru encourages the active involvement of the Security Council in the protection of civilians affected by armed conflict. Only strong action by the Security Council is appropriate in that regard. Attacks on medical facilities and humanitarian workers are considered war crimes. The perpetrators must be brought to justice, because impunity encourages conflict. In the light of that, Peru recognizes the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and hopes for its universalization. Likewise, we are in the process of ratifying the Kampala Amendments.”

  7. “Resolution 2286 (2016) also requires Member States to take measures with regard to the protection of civilians and medical care in armed conflicts, such as facilitating the safe passage of personnel and supplies to those in need; preventing attacks against medical services in armed conflicts; and implementing practical protection measures when planning and executing their operations. In that vein, and in line with the recommendations made by the Secretary-General in his report in document S/2016/447, for more than 20 years Peru has been training its armed forces personnel in accordance with the applicable norms of international humanitarian law.”

  8. “In that regard, Peru is party to the Geneva Conventions, which declare illegal any attacks against hospitals or workers providing medical assistance, which includes convoys providing humanitarian assistance as well as to all those who bear distinguishing marks. We call on the international community to effectively enforce that ban. Peru considers that the sacrificial and risky work of protection developed by humanitarian agencies and workers should be the object ofthe highest recognition by the international community.”

  9. “The Security Council, through resolution 2286 (2016) - which specifically addresses the subject of this open debate - "strongly condemns acts of violence, attacks and threats against the wounded and sick, medical personnel and humanitarian personnel exclusively engaged in medial duties", and "deplores the long-term consequences of such attacks for the civilian population and the health-care systems of the countries concerned". That document also reiterates the relevant legal framework and calls upon all parties to armed conflict to fully comply with their obligations under international law, including respect for the rules of international humanitarian law.”

  10. “Mr. Prieto (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): First of all, I would like to thank the Uruguayan presidency of the Security Council for convening this open debate on the protection of civilians and medical care in armed conflicts. I would also like to thank the Secretary- General, Mr. Antonio Guterres; the Vice-President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Ms. Christine Beerli; and the Deputy Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, Mr. Bruno Stagno Ugarte, for being present here today.”
