  1. “Since our statement was about working methods, we would also like to take this opportunity to highlight the Working Methods Handbook, prepared by Japan and known as the Green Book, and commend the delegation on that initiative.”

  2. “In conclusion, the new threats of intra-State and trans-national conflict posed by various phenomena - such as terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, money laundering, weapons trafficking, human trafficking, natural disasters, the spread of disease and environmental degradation - require holistic approaches, which we hope will be front and centre in any future reconfiguration of the peace and security architecture. We hope that the reform under way will contribute to such a response. Only by acting in that way can we effectively contribute to conflict prevention and to peacebuilding in the world, which are the founding objectives of this United Nations organ. We would like to warmly thank the delegation of Japan for its excellent work.”

  3. “We should deepen the interaction with the Fund, taking advantage of its advice to missions, its interaction with local civil society and its collaboration with regard to the empowerment of women and youth. Seventh, as already pointed out here, it is important to improve interaction with regional and subregional organizations, as is increasing coherence in the work of peacekeeping operations. By way of example, I would mention the United Nations Operation in Cote d'Ivoire, which successfully completed its mandate on 30 June, and the United Nations Mission in Liberia. A similar example pertains to the setting up of special missions, such as the United Nations Mission for the Emergency Response to Ebola, to which the representative of Ghana referred, to deal with the Ebola virus emergency.”

  4. “Third, we would suggest raising further awareness of Arria Formula meetings by circulating a summary to all Member States detailing proposed and actual outcomes. Fourth, we should integrate the work of subsidiary bodies and the reports ofthe group of expert of sanctions committees in the work of the Security Council when it is considering the design of its products, in particular with regard to transitions in missions. Fifth, we would strengthen the ties between the Security Council and the Chairs of the Peacebuilding Commission configurations, while making greater use of the Commission's advisory role and inviting it to participate in consultations and in Council field visits. Sixth, we would make use ofthe Peacebuilding Fund to address gaps and to overcome the fragmentation in sustaining peace.”

  5. “First, we need to strengthen the role of elected members when it comes to drafting resolutions, and preferably to pursue the drafting in interregional groups, as was the case with resolution 2286 (2016), when we also engaged in close consultation with civil society. Second, we need to make better use of open debates as a format, selecting topics that would encourage a contributory analysis by the entire membership. In order to identify areas of convergence, we recommend that the presidency encourage interventions at open debates by like-minded and interregional groups, such as the Human Security Network and the Group of Friends on Children and Armed Conflict. The Chairs of those groups or others could also be consulted when it comes to preparing the concept notes.”

  6. “The design of this transfer included a strong element of national ownership bringing together the work of the Security Council and numerous other stakeholders, including the Group of Friends of Haiti. This served as an example of how States that are not members of the Council can contribute to solutions. The United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia, intended to help safeguard the comprehensive peace agreement in that country, is a model of how positive interaction with the agencies of the United Nations system and the support of the Peacebuilding Fund can reap dividends. With regard to the Council's working methods, we would recommend that the following measures be taken to overcome the current fragmentation when it comes to addressing the complex challenges to peace and security - as we are urged to do by the concept note.”

  7. “The Council has developed a multidimensional and systemic regulatory framework on complex challenges in conflict and post-conflict solutions, in conformity with resolutions 2242 (2015), 2250 (2015), 2253 (2015), 2282 (2016), which the representative of Ghana just mentioned, 2286 (2015), 2332 (2016) and 2347 (2017), which, inter alia, address the concerns of women, youth, human trafficking, health care, civil aviation and cultural heritage. With regard to peacekeeping operations, we would draw attention to the transition from the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti to the format of the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti.”

  8. “These in turn are bulwarks against conflict and important for sustaining peace. The presidential statement (S/PRST/2015/3) adopted on that occasion answers some of the issues that we are considering in today's debate, and we would urge everyone to draw upon it when it comes to forging responses to conflict multipliers referred to in Japan's concept note ( S/2017/1016, annex). The Council has gradually integrated an inclusive approach to addressing specific groups and issues that were once considered to be solely the purview of development.”

  9. “In January 2015, Chile organized an open debate (see S/PV.7361) of the Security Council on inclusive development, inspired by our belief that peace is a prerequisite for the promotion and protection of fundamental rights and that, in turn, inclusiveness, social harmony and sustainable development are vital if peace is to be attained and maintained. This is a refrain that we heard from many speakers today. There was widespread agreement at that meeting that security and development are closely interrelated and mutually reinforcing, and that they are crucial if we are to deliver lasting peace. The meeting also underscored the importance ofinclusion as a vehicle for political stability, democratic governance, development and preserving the territorial integrity of States.”

  10. “Ms. Sapag Munoz de la Pefia (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Japan for having convened today's open debate and for the excellent work that it has carried out as a member of the Security Council over the past two years. We are also grateful to the Secretary-General for his briefing this morning and for his commitment to prevention in the work of the Organization. The complex current challenges to international peace and security compelus to adopt amultidimensional approach to respond effectively and sustainably to the threats we face, including those of a non-State and non-military nature, while addressing their various dimensions and underlying causes that may have a local, regional or global impact.”

  11. “Once again, we especially thank the delegation of Egypt for its excellent work during its presidency of the Council and for the transparency with which it has led its work.”

  12. “We are concerned that the United Nations Development Programme Conflict Prevention and Recovery Thematic Trust Fund and the Peacebuilding Fund, to which Chile and other States contribute, receive less than a 3 per cent share of the overall peacekeeping budget. We would like to reiterate our commitment to the sustaining peace agenda and call for the United Nations system to develop a shared and practical vision of the concept and the values that underpin it. Finally, we would like to pay tribute to all those United Nations staff who are currently deployed in the field and who contribute day in and day out to the building of peace. We hope that in the future they will be able to contribute in the same way to sustaining peace under this innovative concept.”

  13. “It should include child protection advisers, gender advisers and other advisers, who are all crucial when it comes to sustaining peace. In that connection, we would point to resolutions 1325 (2000) and 2250 (2015). In addition, personnel deployed to peacekeeping missions should be properly trained and committed to upholding the highest possible standards of conduct in the framework of the zero-tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and sexual abuse, thereby fostering the necessary conditions for sustainable and lasting peace. It is vital that we dedicate resources to sustaining peace; for, notwithstanding the consensus reached achieved with General Assembly resolution 70/262, Member States have not sufficiently contributed to those tasks as compared to those devoted to the deployment of troops.”

  14. “The declaration issued by the United Nations Peacekeeping Defence Ministerial Conference that took place in London in 2016 reiterated the importance of the role of women in peacebuilding and conflict resolution, including the need for their greater participation at all mission levels. In that regard, we welcome the Senior Women Talent Pipeline for United Nations Peace Operations, set up under the umbrella of the Department of Field Support. We call for that initiative to be expanded. The planning ofmissions with the goal of sustaining peace requires effective logistical preparation of the critical capacities and operational tools that are available through appropriate operational means, within the framework of a mandate that enhances security and protects vulnerable civilians.”

  15. “Sustaining peace can also be facilitated by proper use of crisis management tools, which range from mediation and the deployment of an operation to sanctions regimes. The missions in C6te d'Ivoire and Liberia, which worked jointly on the issue of cross-border cooperation, provide concrete examples of integrated planning and withdrawal that bare further study. Peacekeeping operations must be periodically reviewed to assess their contribution to sustaining peace, it being the responsibility of the Security Council to analyse whether or not the tasks entrusted to a given mission and the general concept of a mission are consistent not just with the political reality and the operational needs on the ground, but also with its purpose.”

  16. “The design of strategies in this direction should take into account, among other things, the state of play of defence institutions, critical infrastructures, such as schools and hospitals, which is a subject that the Council has been addressing - we note in particular resolution 2286 (2016) - disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, including that of children, security reform, strengthening of the rule of law, the human rights institutional framework, national security and the participation of civil society. We emphasize in this regard the relevant role of the Peacebuilding Commission in promoting stability and social cohesion, in cooperation with the Security Council and Economic and Social Council, among others.”

  17. “We therefore support the achievement of the sustaining peace objective set forth in General Assembly resolution 70/262 through an integrated and multidimensional strategy within the framework of the preventive vision promoted by the Secretary-General. Sustaining peace will benefit from strategies for planning, evaluation and withdrawal of peacekeeping operations tailored to the appropriate interaction between all stakeholders - namely, the host country, United Nations staff, local civil society and national contingents in close dialogue with regional and international actors - under the principle of national ownership that you mentioned in your statement earlier, Mr. President.”

  18. “Ms. Sapag Munoz de la Pefia (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Egypt for convening today's debate, and we listened with great interest to the statements of the speakers who preceded us. We are particularly grateful to have heard Ambassador Rosenthal, with his experience in development and in peacebuilding and his emphasis on the fact that the three pillars must be integrated. Faced with conflicts and theirterrible consequences, we have a responsibility to act in a timely, efficient and relevant manner, deploying coherent efforts to counter political, economic, social or cultural situations that are generally at the root of the conflicts to be prevented. We are convinced that conflict prevention is the most effective means of addressing its human and financial costs.”

  19. “In this discussion, we must not forget the need to move forward as well on the nuclear disarmament obligations set out in article VI of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The establishment of internationally recognized and verifiable nuclear-weapon-free zones is a political and legal commitment. We therefore reiterate the importance of establishing a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East and that the international community must contribute to its establishment.”

  20. “It is important that we act responsibly and in accordance with the resolutions of the Council, while taking into account the political context. By the same token, it is important to underscore the responsibilities incumbent upon all Members of the Organization in complying with the sanctions regime. The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is a cornerstone of the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime. The implementation of its three pillars - disarmament, non-proliferation and the right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy - must be balanced. Chile recognizes the right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and values the efforts on the part of Iran and the international community to implement the commitments they have undertaken.”

  21. “Ms. Sapag Mufioz de la Pena (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I thank Ambassador Roman Oyarzun Marchesi and his team for presenting the quarterly report on the work of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006) and for their effective conduct of its work. Chile welcomes the start of the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on 18 October, known as "adoption day". On 15 October, Iran complied with the agreed measures with the International Atomic Energy Agency, as reported by that body. We hope that the measures set forth in resolution 2231 (2015) can be verified promptly by the International Atomic Energy Agency on what has come to be known as "implementation day". We note with concern the information provided by the Panel of Experts on the possible violation of paragraph 9 of resolution 1929 (2010).”

  22. “In conclusion, Chile wishes to reiterate the appeal we launched at the General Assembly for countries that have the veto power to refrain from using it in cases of crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide or ethnic cleansing, since that detracts from the effectiveness of the Council in upholding the most fundamental values and principles of humanity. We urge the Security Council, in particular its permanent members, to shoulder that responsibility. Let us not forget the failures of recent years and the complex situations facing us today. May we not act too late.”

  23. “In that regard, we recall the important role of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. We also underscore the role of the International Criminal Court, established by the Rome Statute, which is one of the most important developments in international criminal justice of the past 50 years, since it is the only permanent independent international criminal court to complement national criminal jurisdictions established in order to deal with, inter alia, the crime of genocide. Given its complementary nature, States must duly cooperate with the Court in order for it to fully discharge its mandate.”

  24. “The international community must stand by and support Member States when they willfully or owing to a clear inability do not meet that obligation under the concept of the responsibility to protect, enshrined in the 2005 World Summit Outcome (General Assembly resolution 60/1). Chile has convened a series of seminars and meetings at home in the context of its commitment to the concept of the responsibility to protect and its preventive nature. This year, we hope to hold a new outreach seminar at the intersectoral level together with the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. Another key aspect is the need for international mechanisms and/or tribunals to ensure accountability, thereby preventing impunity and, at the same time, serving as a tool for deterrence and the prevention of future crimes.”

  25. “The establishment of national commissions for the prevention of genocide and the efforts made in that regard by the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, mentioned at the Arria formula meeting on intercommunal dialogue and crime prevention of 14 March, are examples to consider. Greater commitment to strengthening the rule of law and respect for international law, in particular human rights and humanitarian international law, will make it possible to improve levels of inclusion and respect for diversity, development and social justice, thereby dealing with the root causes of such conflicts, as the Permanent Representative of Rwanda pointed out. Each State has the primary responsibility to protect its population against massive and widespread human rights abuses.”

  26. “Prevention is possible and should be a central part of our responsibilities as a Council and an international community. There is room here to exercise preventive diplomacy and make efficient use of existing early-warning mechanisms. With that end in view, we recognize the role of regional and subregional organizations, such as the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, as well as of local and religious leaders, women, young people, civil society and the media. We must improve coordination and cooperation with such actors. To that end, international cooperation is necessary.”

  27. “Genocide springs up in divided societies, where perceptions and feelings of exclusion that fuel actions against specific groups, creating the conditions for the crime. Such declines in respect for human rights are often a warning sign that demands that national and international authorities display the political will necessary to recognize and report them, as many other speakers have said. In that regard, we emphasize the Secretary-General's Rights Up Front initiative, since it reaffirms the central role of human rights in the United Nations system, as well as the importance of the work of the Offices of the Special Advisers on the Prevention of Genocide and on the Responsibility to Protect, which have a vital preventive role to play.”

  28. “We would like to once again express our gratitude for our invitation to that commemoration, which our special envoy described as a powerful experience in both human and professional terms. The gravity of the crime of genocide and its general condemnation meant that a mere four years elapsed between the conception and adoption of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which established that its States parties must undertake to prevent and punish that crime in time of peace or war. The International Court of Justice has ruled that those obligations extend even to those that are not party to the Convention because they are obligations erga omnes.”

  29. “Ms. Sapag Mufioz de la Pefia (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We thank Nigeria for organizing this important meeting in the framework of the activities commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda, whose victims, among them many children, we remember today with deep respect and solidarity. We appreciate the statement made by Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson and through him the commitment of the Secretary-General in this area. We are particularly grateful to Ambassador Keating for the reminder he has given us and for his words on the lessons learned that we should consider today. My country had the honour to participate in the commemoration held in Kigali on 7 April. At that time we conveyed our solidarity with the people of Rwanda.”
