  1. In conclusion, Venezuela takes this opportunity to reaffirm its firm belief that women are protagonists and essential drivers in the struggle for the emancipation of our peoples. It is therefore incumbent upon us to make the establishment of the conditions necessary to their equality and access to equal opportunities a top priority at the vanguard of inclusive, equitable and transformative processes of development and peacebuilding.

  2. Zero tolerance for those crimes must continue to be a substantive commitment by the United Nations and the entire international community in order to continue working resolutely towards their prevention and to bring to justice all those responsible for those heinous and immoral crimes. We also reiterate our call to all States, entities and individuals to fully respect the provisions of international law and the resolutions adopted by this organ regarding the prohibition of supplying weapons and providing financial and logistical support to extremist and terrorist groups, so that there may be an effective neutralization of their operational capacity and abhorrent practices of exploitation and sexual violence against women as an instrument of war and terror.

  3. We once again condemn those measures as illegal and in violation of the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, and because they violate peace and stability and generate suffering in more than a third of humankind, only succeeding in pursuing the interventionist agenda and the war of its promoters. The United Nations must continue its work to improve the training of all personnel deployed in the field and to have a greater presence of experts - especially women - on gender issues and advisers on the protection of women in peacekeeping operations. In that context, we categorically condemn all incidents of sexual exploitation and abuse committed in the framework of any peacekeeping operation, as well as by the military, police or civilian personnel of the Organization deployed on the ground.

  4. Faced with those critical scenarios, it is vital to have the highest political commitment when the various national and international bodies come to allocate resources that are fair, sufficient and predictable, aimed at eradicating social exclusion and inequality and the feminization of poverty, and to promote structural processes ofresilience, institutional capacity and access to essential benefits for women, addressing not only their technical training and skills to exercise advocacy but also the coverage of their basic and security needs. We reiterate that the full realization of all those commitments and ideals in favour of women will not be possible while some States and entities continue to implement unilateral coercive measures against other sovereign States for political motives in economic, commercial and financial terms.

  5. Humankind continues to witness the devastating consequences of violations of international humanitarian law in the armed conflicts that plague the world today, particularly for women and girls, who are the first victims of the dramatic consequences of war and who are also subjected to recurrent and systematic sexual exploitation and abuse, as well as brutal gender violence. Our country is convinced that the participation and contributions of women at all levels, phases and areas linked to the prevention and settlement of conflicts are essential to achieve lasting and sustained peace. There will be no international peace and security if women and girls - who constitute more than half of the population affected by armed conflicts - are not effectively included and integrated.

  6. Ms. Rodriguez Martinez (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela) (spoke in Spanish): The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is grateful to the Plurinational State of Bolivia for convening this important open debate and for drafting the concept note to guide our deliberations today (S/2018/904, annex). We are also grateful for the Secretary-General's briefing, as well as that of the Executive Director of UN-Women, Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka - whose work has been defining in the promotion of this agenda - and Ms. Randa Siniora Atallah. The Secretary-General's report (S/2018/900) on the crucial issue before us today concludes that significant obstacles remain for women to participate effectively in the maintenance and consolidation of peace.
