1. “It is a question of preventing the outbreak, escalation, continuation and recurrence of conflicts, addressing their root causes and reaching international commitments on sustainable development. We firmly believe that such an approach will bring us closer to a more just and peaceful world. Finally, we cannot underestimate the important contributions of women and youth in efforts to achieve sustainable development and build peace. We underscore the relevance of their substantial participation and the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda, as well as that of the youth, peace and security agenda. We thank the members of the Council for hearing our observations and hope that this debate will contribute significantly to the building of a peaceful and sustainable future for all.”

2. “In particular, he recommends providing more sustainable and predictable funding for peacebuilding efforts, with a view to supporting national prevention strategies to address the various drivers and enablers of violence and conflict. Considering that that is already a commitment adopted by Member States in General Assembly resolution 76/305, El Salvador takes this opportunity to express once again its deep concern about the persistent challenges to achieving sufficient and predictable financing for peacebuilding. In line with what my country has stated in other forums, the implementation of that important resolution is a crucial step in making our multiple commitments to peacebuilding a reality.”

3. “And that is because the Council should take concrete decisions, measures and actions to holistically address the link between peace and development, especially in countries affected by conflict. In our voluntary national review of progress in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals in 2022, we highlighted significant progress on targets and indicators related to peace, justice and strong institutions. We therefore recognize the importance of continuing to work to eradicate all forms of violence and to build just, peaceful and inclusive societies. In that regard, it is pertinent to highlight that the policy brief of the Secretary-General on the New Agenda for Peace recognizes the importance of seeing peace from the perspective of sustainable development and human rights.”

4. “Given that backdrop, it is imperative to make progress in the fulfilment of international commitments regarding sustainable development, to put prevention at the centre of our efforts, to invest in social policies and programmes that promote inclusion and to provide the necessary financial resources for peacebuilding. It is therefore necessary to analyse new ways to strengthen the intrinsic connection between peace and sustainable development, in line with the specificities and needs of each country. We are of the view that the Council should take an approach to the connection between peace and sustainable development that is periodic, systematic and, when appropriate, that the relevant coordination should be carried out with other United Nations bodies.”

5. “Mr. Segura Aragón (El Salvador) (spoke in Spanish): I would like to begin by expressing our gratitude to you, Mr. President, for convening this important debate on the maintenance of international peace and security, with a focus on promoting sustainable peace through development. El Salvador fully agrees that there is an intrinsic connection between peace and development. Strengthening and maintaining peace are key for countries to achieve sustainable development. Conversely, inequalities, poverty and violence are some of the triggers of conflicts. That is why we are deeply concerned about global trends and the current geopolitical landscape. As we hold this debate, millions of people are being affected by violence and conflict, which in turn exacerbate poverty, generate more inequality and deepen development gaps.”
