  1. “The General Assembly subsequently adopted the Declaration on the Prevention and Removal of Disputes and Situations Which May Threaten International Peace and Security and on the Role of the United Nations in this Field (General Assembly resolution 43/51). That resolution calls for States to act so as to prevent in their international relations the emergence or aggravation of disputes or situations, in particular by fulfilling in good faith their obligations under international law. With regard to the International Court of Justice, there are two factors that that this Council must always bear in mind. On the one hand is recognition of the Court's contentious jurisdiction, and on the other, the recognition of and full compliance with its rulings.”

  2. “In that regard, we must underscore the work of the International Court of Justice, as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations system, to resolve disputes between States. The General Assembly has reiterated that point in several resolutions and in the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States. Moreover, given the ongoing situations of conflict, in particular those arising from the arms race, the General Assembly adopted resolution 37/10 by consensus on the Manila Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes, in which it stated that the referral of a case to the International Court of Justice should not be deemed an unfriendly act between States.”

  3. “I would like to address two fundamental aspects in the field of strengthening the rule of law at the international level, namely, the obligation of States to refrain from the threat or use of force and the central role of peaceful dispute settlement mechanisms. In order to preserve future generations from the scourge and consequences of war, States are compelled to refrain from having recourse to the threat or use of force in any manner that is incompatible with the Charter of the United Nations. That obligation means that States are to resolve their disputes, including territorial disputes, by peaceful means in order to avoid jeopardizing international peace and security.”

  4. “In that regard, we wish to underscore the work accomplished by the international tribunals established by the Security Council and the work of the International Criminal Court. In that context, we must ensure that the perpetrators of the most serious crimes that affect the international community as a whole are duly tried and punished. As part of that task, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court establishes the fundamental role to be played by the Security Council. All States must unambiguously adopt respective measures with regard to the provisions of the Rome Statute and the Charter of the United Nations in order to respond to requests for cooperation and assistance and to execute the arrest warrants issued by the Court.”

  5. “Now that nearly two decades have passed since the violence ended, we continue to adopt measures that enable us to provide care and make reparations to the victims. Strengthening the rule of law is undoubtedly a fundamental prerequisite if we are to truly speak of inclusive societies. If we fail to strengthen the rule of law, the living conditions of our peoples and the institutional structures of the State, as well as proper administration, will be undermined. That, in turn, can have an impact by jeopardizing international peace and security. Furthermore, we must reaffirm our commitment to the fight against impunity, in terms of both national and complementary international actions.”

  6. “In his report (S/2011/634*), the Secretary- General judiciously outlines a number of fundamental aspects to be addressed in that regard, such as security sector reform and civilian protection, placing particular emphasis on the most vulnerable groups, such as children and women, as well as the need to bring to justice the perpetrators of international crimes. As is well known, Peru was affected by domestic terrorism and political violence during the 19805 and 19905. That triggered a process of internal reflection and reform, as well as the establishment of a truth and reconciliation commission. Judicial proceedings have also been carried out to try the perpetrators in accordance with due process.”

  7. “Mr. Roman-Morey (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): As this is the first time that my delegation addresses the Security Council this year, I would like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome the new non-permanent members of the Council and to wish them every success during their term. We reiterate to them Peru's commitment to make a solid contribution to the vital task of maintaining international peace and security, which is the primary goal of this United Nations organ. Today's debate is focused on the rule of law and transitional justice in conflict and post-conflict societies.”
