  2. “We believe that it is vital to ensure the highest possible levels of ethical conduct of personnel involved in peacekeeping operations and reiterate our full commitment to the zero-tolerance policy of the United Nations on sexual exploitation and abuse. In that regard, we reaffirm our commitment to the prompt investigation and eventual determination of responsibility for all misconduct, in accordance with due process and the memorandums of understanding agreed to by the United Nations. In conclusion, my delegation condemns all attacks and acts ofviolence against United Nations personnel as they carry out their functions and reiterates its concern for the safety and security of mission personnel in the field.”

  3. “In that regard, my delegation believes that to achieve the goal of lasting peace, operations must always be accompanied by a parallel and inclusive process that is well planned, carefully designed and backed by the consent and commitment of the parties concerned. We must ensure strict adherence to the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, especially the principles of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of States and of non-intervention in internal affairs, which are fundamental elements of our joint efforts to promote international peace and security. Respect for those basic peacekeeping principles is essential to the success of operations on the ground.”

  4. “My delegation would like to acknowledge the vital role that women and young people play in the prevention and settlement of conflicts, and we emphasize the need to encourage their full participation in peacekeeping and advocating for peace, while underscoring the importance of the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda and resolution 1325 (2000). El Salvador is deeply concerned about the precariousness of the political and security environment in areas where United Nations peacekeeping missions are deployed. The patterns of violence in conflict areas in which peacekeeping operations are deployed are at their worst level since 1994.”

  5. “The perspectives oftroop- and police-contributing countries must be kept in mind, particularly during the policy- and decision-making processes, including deployment, transition phases and the renewal of mandates, as well as when other relevant changes are occurring. They must have clear and achievable mandates that respond to the challenges on the ground. The desired outcomes can be achieved only through continued cooperation. In order to be truly effective, peacekeeping operations must be able to depend from the very beginning on political support, adequate human, financial, logistical resources, and clearly defined and viable mandates, as well as personnel who are highly trained for the purpose of fulfilling their mission on the ground.”

  6. “My delegation takes note of the report of Lieutenant General dos Santos Cruz, which has become an important tool for jointly addressing issues of concern and the shared challenges we face, and which can contribute to identifying a long-term strategy for achieving better outcomes in peacekeeping operations. El Salvador deems it important to highlight some aspects that are essential to ensuring the success of peacekeeping operations. One of them is the importance of holding effective triangular consultations in which the Security Council, contributing countries and the Secretariat can conduct objective assessments that will enable them to improve their operationality and functionality and to renew and revitalize missions' functioning.”

  7. “Historically, El Salvador has been committed to peacekeeping operations and believes that they play a fundamental role in bringing about peace in the world. We therefore support all political processes aimed at establishing inclusive and legitimate Governments, providing security and promoting processes to build and sustain peace. My country is currently contributing to eight different missions with troops and police totalling 204 men and women, including a specialized air unit of 60 personnel awaiting deployment to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali.”

  8. “Ms. Rivera Senchez (El Salvador) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the presidency of the Netherlands for convening this open debate, and we take this opportunity to welcome the participation of Prime Minister Mark Rutte. We also appreciate the concept note (S/2018/184, annex) prepared for today's debate and commend the Secretary-General and Ms. Fatimata Toure for their valuable briefings this morning. In the view of my delegation, peacekeeping operations continue to be one of the most effective mechanisms established by the international community to provide collective assistance to countries transitioning from conflict situations to peace. Everything that has to do with improving their efficiency and effectiveness therefore translates into an opportunity to contribute to achieving better outcomes for those processes.”
