“In that regard, Chile has voiced and will continue to voice its position clearly and con- sistently in bilateral and multilateral forums in seeking coordinating mechanisms with other States to create the conditions necessary to reach a cross-cutting agree- ment to help to find a political solution to the conflict.”

“In 1998, we established our country’s representative office to the Palestinian National Authority in Ramallah, and, together with other countries in the region, we recognized the State of Palestine in 2011. However, we must acknowledge that the current situation in Gaza has been preceded by a series of condemnations that Chile has referenced in various multilateral forums. In addition to those already mentioned, they include forced evictions, the revocation of residency permits, the arbitrary detention of Palestinians, including children, and the imposition of a complex system of checkpoints. We are very troubled by the events that are taking place, and it is the moral imperative of humankind, as enshrined in international humanitarian law, to help to ensure the cessation of indiscriminate attacks against the civilian population.”

“Concerning the Palestinian people, Chile has long taken the position of supporting the right of the Palestinian people to establish a sovereign State, as set out in General Assembly resolution 181 (II), of 1947, and resolution 242 (1967). We urgently call for full and immediate compliance with resolution 2334 (2016), of 23 December 2016, which reaffirms, among other provisions, that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law. Similarly, we have made gradual progress in recognizing Palestine as a political entity.”

“However, in the lightofthefacts, thoseprincipleshave not been upheld. Since 7 October, public infrastructure, civilian homes and educational and health centres have been bombed, which has killed hundreds of people, one third of them children. Furthermore, the Israeli blockade of the Strip has prevented the entry of food, water, medical supplies and fuel to generate electricity, all of which are vital to human existence. Together with the order to evacuate the northern area of the Gaza Strip, which constitutes the forced displacement of the population, those actions constitute violations under the provisions of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.”

“That solution, however, is very far from being a reality, which has taken a new turn since the terrorist acts perpetrated by Hamas on 7 October and the indiscriminate response of the State of Israel directed at the civilian population living in the Gaza Strip. Chile has unequivocally condemned the actions of Hamas, as well as all acts of terrorism and violence and hostilities against the civilian population. Therefore, we also call for the unconditional release of all hostages held by the terrorist organization, while ensuring their well-being and treatment in accordance with international law. Similarly, Chile views with deep concern the military operation in Gaza. The use of force in the framework of the legitimate defence of a State that has been attacked must be guided by the principles of proportionality, distinction and precaution.”

“Mr. Ruidíaz Pérez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We appreciate the opportunity to participate in today’s open debate and to be able to reaffirm the importance we attach to this critical matter. We also thank the Secretary-General, the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and the Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory for their briefings. I will read an excerpt from our statement and hand in the full version. Chile advocates for a two-State solution and for the right of Israel and Palestine to live in harmony, within safe and recognized international borders, and in full respect for the human rights of all its inhabitants.”

“In conclusion, in the context of the gravity of the tragic situation currently unfolding in the Gaza Strip, we hope that regional bodies will have an opportunity to demonstrate their crucial role in safeguarding international law and the principles of the Charter.”

“In that regard, it is notable that historically speaking, the Council has shown us that it is capable of coordinating its action with relevant regional and subregional bodies, such as the African Union, to jointly address conflicts and threats to peace. On the other hand, it should also be noted that ad hoc and thematic mechanisms, such as the various groups of friends and working groups involved in promoting the agenda on women and peace and security, can also serve as a driving force for promoting significant change and consolidating peace. Those entities have shed light on the root causes of the discrimination and oppression of women in many parts of the world, providing guidelines for the various actors involved to establish action plans aimed at appointing women to relevant decision-making positions.”

“At the same time, in the context of regional agreements, the Council can also act as a mediator and facilitator in the resolution of disputes by promoting the effective implementation of agreements and encouraging the parties to fulfil their commitments. That role can include providing good offices and visiting areas affected by conflict. In that context, my own region, together with the efforts of the United Nations, has participated, as required, in initiatives that have led to important peace agreements. I would therefore like to highlight what my country’s former Head of State and other speakers mentioned this morning with regard to the signing of the Presidential Act of Brasilia.”

“Specifically, we believe that when we engage in cooperation and exchanges within regional organizations on areas of mutual interest, such as disarmament, crisis management, environmental protection and economic development, we contribute to building stability within regions, establishing positive long-term relations, fostering the peaceful resolution of disputes and discouraging the use of violence to settle disputes. In the same vein, we believe that the Security Council can actively promote the development and strengthening of regional agreements aimed at fostering peace and security by offering political and diplomatic support to the parties involved in negotiating and realizing those agreements.”

“In that regard, we value the crucial role that regional organizations can play in the maintenance of international peace and security by functioning as natural platforms for meetings, cooperation and exchanges among their members. That fosters trust among the members of those organizations and promotes institutionalized and predictable behaviours, which reduces uncertainty and the risks of confrontation. In the face of current world events, we need innovative measures to address the dangers of war and threats to security, many of which are transnational in nature, such as organized crime and its various ramifications. We think the most useful way to address them is by learning from the existing regional and subregional mechanisms for cooperation, mutual trust, knowledge and assistance.”

“Mr. Ruidíaz Pérez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile thanks Brazil for convening this open debate, and we have taken note of the statements delivered so far. According to Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations, which we all adopted at San Francisco, regional organizations whose activities are consistent with the purposes and principles of the United Nations may act in support of the maintenance of international peace and security. Strengthening regional bodies is also part of the Secretary-General’s New Agenda for Peace, in connection with our preparations to ensure that next year’s Summit of the Future is transformational.”

“We would like to refer specifically to the financial sector which can play a crucial role in providing predictable resources for crisis response. In critical moments, the financial sector can consider providing soft loans and facilitating the payment of financial obligations and especially conducting risk assessments with a gender perspective. The meeting rose at 3.35 p.m.”

“At the same time, functions that are entrusted or attributed to the private sector must be carried out within national legal frameworks and subject to ethical considerations, while maintaining a gender focus, with strict respect for human rights and with guarantees of transparency and accountability. We would like to underscore that cooperation between the public and private sectors should be carried out through specific partnerships that are aligned with SDG 17. The private sector has much to contribute to humanitarian responses. It has the capacity to amplify economic and technical resources to contribute to the improvement of social cohesion, as well as the preparation for natural disasters, for example.”
2023-09-14 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9418Resumption1 (2023) · source
“We value the inclusion of new actors in responding to some of the global issues, as new perspectives can contribute to sustainable solutions to international peace and security. There is no doubt that the private sector is essential to the humanitarian response owing to the quality information it has access to on the ground and its experience and greater flexibility in managing innovative capacities. On certain occasions, in crisis situations, private entities are able to react even faster than the State in providing goods and/or services. However, we recall that States have the primary responsibility for humanitarian response and that the private sector is complementary and does not in any way signify the surrender of the State’s basic powers.”

“Mr. Ruidíaz Pérez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I would like to start by expressing our deepest condolences to the Governments of Morocco and Libya for the deaths, disappearances and severe damage caused by the recent natural disasters. Chile thanks Albania for convening this open debate. We take note of the statements and contributions we have heard. In recent decades, we have witnessed a redesign of the humanitarian response architecture and the role that the private sector can play with the United Nations, its agencies and States. Since the Global Compact in 1999 to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, clear parameters for the formation of public-private partnerships have been defined and established.”

“For Chile, defending and strengthening multilateralism will continue to be a priority in which Security Council reform plays a fundamental role in legitimizing not only decisions on international peace and security, including at the upcoming Summit of the Future, but also on the Organization’s ability to arrive on the ground in time and to fulfil its main task — the protection of civilians and those who are disproportionately affected by conflict and emerging threats.”

“Armed with that political will and an awareness of the Security Council’s current deficiencies, we must bring about a more democratic and representative Council, while correcting the inequities and inefficiencies that are affecting its work. We underscore the importance of the participation of civil-society representatives in Security Council briefings, as they bring us additional information based on their experiences on the ground, and in that regard we also encourage greater participation by women. The Security Council plays a key and tactical role in providing greater security to civilian and uniformed personnel during the implementation of its mandates, which is why it must be provided with accurate and timely information so that it can act quickly.”

“We commend the Council for reaching consensus on two issues of working methods last month, that is, ensuring the orderly observance of a minute of silence and the continued work of the Sanctions Committees. We are certain that they will contribute to improving and fostering orderly discussions. We believe that the progress made in reforming the Security Council to achieve greater inclusiveness in its decision-making and work and expand its membership has inevitably become more critical than ever to ensuring the authority and effectiveness of the universal multilateral system, and especially to ensuring trust in it, as it is has become weakened and besieged. We urge everyone to bear in mind that in today’s global situation it is urgent that we show greater political will for achieving Security Council reform.”

“Mr. Ruidíaz Pérez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile thanks Albania for convening this open debate. We have taken note of the briefings and statements that we have heard today and wish Albania every success during its presidency of the Security Council for September. Chile aligns itself with the statements made today by the representatives of Norway, on behalf of the Accountability, Coherence and Transparency group, and Ireland, on behalf of the Group of Like-Minded States on Targeted Sanctions. We would like to reiterate the importance of promoting transparency in the decision-making process of the Security Council and accountability for its decisions.”

“It is also important to provide multidisciplinary, timely and non-discriminatory assistance so as to enable victims to be fully reintegrated into their communities and contribute to peacebuilding. This is essential to promoting, protecting and guaranteeing access for victims of sexual violence to adequate health services that allow for the rehabilitation of survivors. Finally, there must be a commitment by the entire international community to support the efforts of post-conflict countries to incorporate the issue of sexual violence in armed conflict as a specific issue in transitional justice, promoting legal mechanisms to receive complaints and carry out criminal investigations.”
2023-07-14 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9378Resumption1 (2023) · source
“Likewise, compliance with the resolutions of the Security Council is imperative if we are to put an end to the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. Resolution 1820 (2008) was an important step in recognizing this violence, and subsequent resolutions demonstrate that the issue is an ongoing concern of the Council. Resolution 1960 (2010) also establishes a system of accountability to put an end to sexual violence associated with conflict situations, which has worsened in recent years. In the same vein, Chile supports the designation of targeted sanctions, applied by relevant Security Council committees, against those involved in the commission of crimes of sexual violence, either as perpetrators or as ideologues.”

“Chile is concerned that there are still many situations of sexual violence in armed conflicts that have not been investigated or prosecuted, which could have a deterrent and preventive effect. It is therefore incumbent upon the international community to react and support countries in strengthening their justice institutions, always bearing in mind the possibility of resorting to international tribunals, such as the International Criminal Court, when appropriate. Accordingly, Chile reiterates its commitment to international instruments that punish acts of sexual violence as war crimes, such as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the Geneva Conventions that form the core of international humanitarian law.”
2023-07-14 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.9378Resumption1 (2023) · source
“These behaviours cannot be trivialized, nor can they be assumed to be a collateral cost of war or internal crisis situations. For this and many other reasons, we believe that it is essential that the gender perspective be permanently integrated or deepened in the training of the armed forces, including measures to prevent sexual violence and, this should be extended to contingents participating in peacekeeping missions. Accordingly, Chile supports the Secretary-General’s Action for Peacekeeping initiative, which requires appropriate conduct by all personnel of the Organization in missions and supports the United Nations zero-tolerance policy, which includes a victim-centred approach to all forms of sexual exploitation and abuse.”

“Mr. Ruidíaz Pérez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile thanks the United Kingdom for convening today’s open debate. We have taken note of the presentations and contributions we have heard. Chile aligns itself with the statement made on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security and to be made on behalf of the Group of Friends of the Responsibility to Protect. Chile condemns sexual violence in armed conflict. Such sexual and gender-based violence, used systematically and repeatedly as a tactic of war, is a grave violation of human rights and constitutes a war crime. The Security Council has rightly recognized that sexual violence can significantly exacerbate and prolong situations of armed conflict and hinder the restoration of peace.”

“We therefore underscore that action taken to address the global food crisis should have a direct impact on improving access to, as well as the availability and quality of, food provided to the most vulnerable groups, while ensuring that priority is given to children, women and the elderly, in particular those in humanitarian emergencies or conflict situations. Multilateralism must provide joint and coordinated responses to the serious food, logistics and humanitarian crisis we now face. Global issues require joint solutions. The Council can count on the support and cooperation of Chile to achieve that goal.”

“Looking ahead, Chile believes that tangible solutions will be required to foster international cooperation among States and other specialized actors in the international system. For example, we can harness the knowledge of scientific groups that worked for the Food Systems Summit in 2021 in order to address the various aspects of the food crisis. We would like to recall that we are in the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 and the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016-2025.”

“Guaranteeing ongoing humanitarian access, protecting humanitarian workers and ensuring that parties to conflict are held accountable for depriving civilians of food or for attacking production or food systems are all essential. It is also crucial that parties to conflict respect international law and international humanitarian law. Chile condemns the use of starvation as a method of warfare and reaffirms that it is important for States to conduct comprehensive, independent, impartial and effective investigations, within their jurisdiction, on violations of that kind in order to strengthen preventive measures, guarantee accountability and address the grievances of victims.”

“Food insecurity deals the heaviest blow to countries with the highest levels of poverty, more fragile political institutions or weak rule of law. Worsening conflict-induced hunger and the identification of conflict-related food insecurity crises, which either already exist or have the potential to occur, are key issues for the Council, as they all have a direct impact on the lives of the most vulnerable and on their livelihoods. Addressing the issue of food security in conflict not only means that States must ensure that trade in food and fertilizer continues; it also means that States must not join others to impose sanctions or other measures that might hinder international trade or the movement and availability of or access to food, as that would violate food security principles.”

“Mr. Ruidíaz Pérez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the United States for convening today’s important debate, and we thank the briefers for their briefings and accounts. As other States, Chile is concerned about the current global situation, marked by a clear spike in the prices of basic food items and other products and food shortages. According to the World Food Programme, there is the likelihood that acute food insecurity will worsen in 20 countries, and predictions are that this year we will see the highest levels of food insecurity ever recorded globally. We are concerned about the fact that, between 2018 and 2021, the number of people experiencing food insecurity, caused primarily by conflict, increased to 139 million people from 73 million.”

“Initiatives on climate change and international security must also take into account the views of affected communities, which may, and often do, suffer the effects of these phenomena and their consequences, with fewer resources to protect themselves from the same. That will strengthen sustainable results and avoid the intensification of these scourges. Finally, I would like to highlight that a report on the link between security and climate change is currently being considered in my country, within the context of multidimensional threats. Chile has incorporated climate change within its 2017 National Defence Book and its 2020 National Defence Policy among the new global challenges for security and defence.”

“It should also be emphasized that international judicial cooperation is key to avoiding impunity for those responsible for terrorist acts. It is also important to respect and comply with the resolutions issued by the various sanctions committees of the Security Council. These debates are important, just as, on previous occasions, we have also discussed the relationship between climate change and peacekeeping and peacebuilding operations. It is important to conduct further research on the link between climate change and international security, based on evidence, particularly with a focus on the most vulnerable regions and groups.”

“As has been established, climate change and environmental degradation can aggravate international conflicts and affect peace and stability and, in the most unprotected areas, put food security at risk, trigger migration and refugee flows and expose already vulnerable groups to other threats. It is therefore clear that the various aspects and consequences of climate change must be addressed. The role of cooperation in the international community and multilateral action are essential for that purpose. Without that, any national effort is undertaken in vain. For that reason, it is essential to strengthen the information-exchange mechanisms among the various relevant agencies and bodies, including police units, financial and terrorism-prevention units that are sometimes also connected to these situations.”

We also thank the President of the Niger for being here to preside over this meeting, as well as the briefers for their contributions this morning. This meeting presents a timely opportunity to exchange observations and analyse the issue of security, terrorism and climate change. This year, we saw the information that scientists and experts gave us with respect to the acceleration of climate change and its irreversible consequences. That data must be used to make the best decisions in pursuit of development and international security. This phenomenon must be considered in a multidimensional way.”

“In accordance with Article 99 of the Charter, the Secretary-General has the responsibility of drawing the attention of the Security Council to any matter that may endanger international peace and security. We encourage the joint work of the bodies continue to develop, as established in resolution 2282 (2016), the input of the Advisory Group of Experts on the Review of the Peacebuilding Architecture, entitled “The challenge of sustaining peace” (S/2015/490). It is worth recalling that the resolution states that “sustaining peace requires coherence, sustained engagement, and coordination between the General Assembly, the Security Council, and the Economic and Social Council, consistent with their mandates as set out in the Charter of the United Nations” (resolution 2282 (2016), para. 2).”

“In this sense, we agree with the first report of the Secretary-General on preventive diplomacy of 2011 (S/2011/552), to the effect that success depends on adequate warning systems that allow predicting crises; the flexibility to adapt available resources to cope with changing forms of violence; collaborative associations, such as regional and subregional organizations; the sustainability and durability of peace accords; empirical assessment and demonstration; and human and financial resources adequate to the task. Similarly, we believe that it is appropriate to highlight the preventive functions that groups of friends, contact groups and or ad hoc can perform. Chile has consistently supported the Secretary- General in playing a relevant role in preventive diplomacy.”

“Just a week ago, in this Chamber (see S/PV.8900), the Secretary-General told us that we were facing the highest number of violent conflicts since 1945 and that they were growing longer and more complex, while the number of humanitarian needs that we are seeing, for various reasons, has reached a tragic record in this period. Chile therefore maintains that, now more than ever, preventive diplomacy must be made to work. In this regard, we are sure that coordination among the main organs of the United Nations, in accordance with their Charter mandates, is the best way to prevent conflicts. A number of factors are necessary if this prevention is to be successful, since the will of the parties is not enough to stop conflict but is the starting point.”

“For that reason, we must defend the essential values of the United Nations — the rule of law, human rights and democracy — which are mutually reinforcing and make up an indivisible whole. In that regard, we highlight the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as a road map that has been incorporated and adopted by all States, and that is people-centred and based on human rights, setting out a comprehensive view of sustainable development, subjects that are the competence of the principal organs of the United Nations and essential to building peaceful and inclusive society.”

“Mr. Ruidíaz Pérez (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Mexico for organizing this debate. We are pleased to see you, Sir, presiding over the Council. We also thank the briefers for their relevant contributions. We know that preventive diplomacy has been useful for the Organization, almost from its inception, in containing and addressing conflicts and disputes. We know of successful cases that encourage us to keep this concept current. In that sense, we note that while some bodies are more oriented towards operational prevention, others are responsible for structural prevention. Chile recognizes that human dignity is the fundamental value for the success of any conflict prevention.”

Monitoring, evaluation and accountability will also be incorporated with respect to its objectives, as well as the budgetary allocations necessary for its adequate implementation. Its sphere of competence will cover natural catastrophes, humanitarian aid and the displacement of people. We are actively collaborating with civil society and other institutions in its development.”

“In that regard, we emphasize the work of the International Criminal Court - an instrument that complements the work of national courts and mixed courts in transforming the culture of impunity into one of deterrence. The imprescriptibility of such crimes is also fundamental to fighting against their impunity and for achieving just reparation. Education programmes at all levels are also necessary for prevention, especially in the armed forces. In that regard, Chile's second national plan has heightened training and education on gender perspectives, sexual violence and human rights of women in peacekeeping operations, both for police and military institutions and for civilian personnel who participate either in those institutions or in conflict and post-conflict resolution processes.”

“A wider dissemination of measures for prevention, protection, rehabilitation and reintegration is needed to ensure a full understanding of the seriousness of sexual and gender-based violence. Reporting such crimes must also be promoted and protected to effectively combat their impunity. We value the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, as well as the deployment of women's protection advisers in United Nations missions, which has contributed, among others, to improving the access and quality of available information. Achieving justice is essential for victims to achieve some degree of spiritual and material reparation.”

“Chile reiterates its commitment to implementing resolutions on sexual and gender-based violence in conflict and against the impunity of those crimes, as well as the Secretary-General's initiatives in favour of gender equality and his zero-tolerance policy regarding sexual abuse. Women and peace and security constitutes one of the priority pillars of Chile's foreign policy. We have therefore promoted stronger regional and global cooperation in establishing public policies that guarantee women the full exercise of their rights, which triggers cultural and structural changes that lead to inclusive societies in which the empowerment of women and the prevention of sexual violence should be at the centre of the international response.”

We appreciate Germany's initiative to convene this open debate and the leadership of Minister Heiko Maas.
