1. “Sadly, 10 years on, the Council still finds it difficult not to address not just accountability effectively but also the broader objective of ending conflicts permanently, both non-international and international ones. What the Council has never discussed as a separate subject is the problem of divergent historical narratives, often affected by ethnic or nationalistic distortions, and how they may create conflict as well as impede post-conflict national and international reconciliation. We therefore invite the members of the Security Council and the United Nations membership to consider more closely the three sequenced objectives of conflict resolution, namely, to end the fighting, to end the conflict and to end the conflict permanently.”

2. “Ten years ago, under the Chilean presidency, a significant debate was held here on the theme "Post- conflict national reconciliation: role of the United Nations" (see S/PV.4903), which resulted in an important presidential statement (S/PRST/2004/2). The debate shed light for the first time in such a setting on the crucial value of truth commissions and judicial accountability to national reconciliation, building on an earlier rule-of-law debate sponsored by the United Kingdom in September 2003 (see S/PV.4833). Most important of all, by focusing on how a community or an affected State recovers from the commission of serious crimes, the debate emphasized the need for the United Nations to build durability into conflict resolution.”

3. “Ithank Mr. Feltman for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Jordan. (spoke in English) This open debate on the theme "War, its lessons and the search for a permanent peace" falls on the first month of a year in which the international community will commemorate and reflect on the start of the First World War, a century ago -the defining moment of the twentieth century. The debate today, however, is not about the First World War. It is about the principal lesson of the Security Council's experience, drawn from 69 years of practice in ending war. The principal lesson is this: stopping the killing is easier than ending the conflict, and ending the conflict is considerably easier than ending it permanently.”
