  1. “In conclusion, my delegation believes that the recommendations of the Secretary-General provide a reasonable and positive guide for the protection of civilians in the case ofconflict and to ensure compliance with international humanitarian law and the protection of human rights.”

  2. “In that regard, my Government recognizes the need to establish certain common criteria for the implementation of the authorization of the use of force on the part of the Security Council, either through the implementation of the principle of the protection of civilians or the implementation of the principle of the responsibility to protect or another principle. It also underscores the usefulness of the criteria contained under the responsibility to protect that were presented by Brazil to the Council on 9 November 2011, during a debate on this same topic (see S/PV.6650).”

  3. “Chile commends the measures that have been adopted by the Security Council for the protection of civilians, either by explicitly incorporating them into the mandates given to peacekeeping operations or, in particularly serious situations, as was the case of Libya in the past year, through resolutions 1970 (2011) and 1973 (2011), the first of which condemns violence against civilians and the second authorizes the adoption of measures for the protection of civilians. However, that case highlights the need to ensure that the application of that principle be provided in an appropriate manner without causing still greater harm to the civilians whom we are seeking to spare.”

  4. “Chile, a member of the Human Rights Council, supports the commissions of inquiry that have been established by the Human Rights Council in the cases of Cote d'Ivoire, Libya and Syria, as we believe that such situations require independent and impartial investigations in order to ensure that the perpetrators of violations of international law and international humanitarian law are brought to justice.”

  5. “17) The Secretary-General aptly refers to the security of journalists and human rights defenders, two groups that have proven to be fundamental in order to ensure that the international community is kept abreast of what is really occurring in a conflict area, and for the promotion and protection of human rights. My country underlines the need for States and parties to a conflict to provide due protection and prevent attacks perpetrated against those groups, and to bring to justice those responsible for such attacks.”

  6. “According to the Secretary-General's report, access to that form of technology is growing daily and to date it has caused hundreds of civilian victims. No matter how sophisticated that technology may be, it undoubtedly jeopardizes the principle of distinction between combatant and non-combatant, as well as the principle of proportionality. In that regard, my delegation supports the statement made by the Secretary-General in his report where he urges relevant Member States "to be more transparent about the circumstances in which drones are used and to take all necessary precautions to ensure that attacks involving drones comply with applicable international law."(S/20]2/3 76, para.”

  7. “We have also been informed of summary executions and torture. Once again, my Government appeals to the Syrian Government, which bears the primary responsibility for upholding the safety of the peoples of its country, and also calls upon the forces of the opposition to engage in dialogue and political negotiation in order to bring peace, security and progress to the noble Syrian people. In that regard, the Government of Chile reaffirms its support for the six-point plan of the Joint Special Envoy of the United Nations and the League of Arab States on Syria, Mr. Kofi Annan. In the twenty-first century, we have witnessed the development of a whole range of new technologies, including in the sphere of war. Among those new areas of progress are the so-called unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones.”

  8. “Particular attention should be paid to the massive and indiscriminate attacks perpetrated in densely populated areas where, in an attempt to achieve the elimination of one or two strategic targets, dozens of deaths can be caused as a result of so-called collateral damage, primarily affecting women and children. In recent months, international public opinion has watched in horror as densely populated cities in Syria have come under heavy bombing by the armed forces of that country. In turn, explosive attacks supposedly carried out by elements of the opposition have also caused civilian victims. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2012/376) speaks volumes on that point. More than 9,000 civilians have lost their lives as a result of the excessive use of force by Syrian security forces.”

  9. “Attacks continue on the lives, dignity, physical and psychological integrity of civilians, with the parties almost always lacking the will to meet the minimum standards of respect for civilians. That lack of will is reflected in the deliberate killing of civilians; violence, in particular sexual violence, against women and children; attacks against facilities housing vulnerable groups, such as hospitals and schools; the recruitment of child soldiers; attacks against journalists; and the displacement of individuals, all of which leave societies powerless and in pain.”

  10. “My delegation aligns itself with the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Jordan, speaking on behalf of the Human Security Network, of which Chile is a member. The protection of civilians in armed conflict is one of my country's concerns in that it touches on the protection of human rights and the maintenance of international peace and security, the fundamental goal of which must always be the preservation of the life and well-being of the human person. Following up on the last statement (S/PRST/2010/25) issued by the Council in that respect, on 22 November 2010, the ninth report (S/2012/376) of the Secretary-General provides us with an updated picture of the situation in this area. Regrettably, and despite the fact that some progress has been made, the overall realities on the ground are far from encouraging.”

  11. “Mr. Tagle (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I would like to commend you, Sir, on your country's assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of June and to thank you for the invitation to participate in this important debate. I should like also to thank the Secretary-General for his important report (S/2012/376) on the protection of civilians in armed conflict, as well as Ms. Valerie Amos, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator; Mr. Ivan Simonovic', Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights; and Mr. Philip Spoerri, Director for International Law and Cooperation of the International Committee of the Red Cross, for their briefings. My delegation also welcomes the presence among us today of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Guatemala, Mr. Harold Caballeros.”
