  1. “Accountability is vital in order to prevent the commission of atrocity crimes, which should not, under any circumstances, remain unpunished. The Security Council establishes various kinds of sanctions that create legal obligations for all States, which should always respect the guarantees of due process. In conclusion, we would like to underscore the urgent need to respect the Charter of the United Nations and in particular the importance of the Council's remaining united in carrying out the imperative task of upholding and promoting international law and shouldering its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security.”

  2. “That means defending and promoting a rules-based international order, which is evident, for example, with regard to its role in maintaining regimes for the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The Council is also a source of law, insofar as it adopts resolutions and presidential statements that may be binding. That implies an additional responsibility, since its decisions, or the lack of them, have a decisive impact on an effective, legitimate and predictable system of collective security. In that regard, there is much to be done. The Council also has a responsibility to promote access to justice by creating ad hoc tribunals, referring situations to the International Criminal Court and ensuring the implementation of its decisions through the cooperation of States.”

  3. “We want to take this opportunity to express our deep concern about the current frequent instances of violations of international law, including Security Council resolutions, and especially of international humanitarian law. We cannot maintain international peace and security without respect for the rule of law. For example, one of the cornerstones of the international order is the prohibition of the use of force in any way that is incompatible with the Charter of the United Nations. We are concerned about the possibility that some countries are testing arguments and interpretations that are ultimately alien to international law and that undermine the system of collective security. The Security Council is, in essence, a political body, with the primary responsibility to maintain international peace and security.”

  4. “In the past few years, Peru has used various means to peacefully settle disputes, including submitting a dispute to the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice and engaging in negotiations supported by friendly guarantor countries to resolve sensitive and complex border issues with its neighbours. On a basis of international law, we have excellent relations with them today that are undoubtedly in the interests of our people and theirs. In that context, we support the provision in Article 36 of the Charter for the Council to recommend that parties to a legal dispute should, as a general rule, resort to the Court. We also believe that it would be appropriate to request more frequent advisory opinions of the Court, in accordance with Article 96 of the Charter.”

  5. “We stress the importance of strengthening the Organization's capacities in preventive diplomacy and the early warnings required for that purpose, in compliance with Articles 1, 34 and 99 of the Charter. In that regard, Peru supports the reforms proposed by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and his efforts, including those of his Special Envoys, to promote more coherent, efficient and effective action by the United Nations system to prevent conflicts and humanitarian crises. To that end, we welcome the establishment of strategic alliances with regional and subregional organizations, especially the African Union, and have great expectations for the recently established High- level Advisory Board on Mediation.”

  6. “Peru would like to stress that in a world ofincreasing interdependence, the validity, development and defence of a rules-based international order are essential if the international community is to effectively address serious global challenges and threats to international peace and security. In that regard, we believe that the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, and a consistent approach to sustainable peace, should continue to guide our efforts to address contemporary conflicts. In particular, Peru believes it is essential to ensure that the United Nations, especially the Security Council, promotes the peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with the provisions of Chapter VI of the Charter.”

  7. “Mr. Ruda Santolaria (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): Peru, as a country committed to multilateralism, international law and the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes, welcomes Poland's initiative in convening today's important open debate.

We would like to thank Ms. Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, Chef de Cabinet of the Secretary- General; Judge Hisashi Owada, President Emeritus of the International Court of Justice; and Judge Theodor Meron, President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, for their briefings.”
