  1. “To conclude, Peru reaffirms its unstinting commitment to complying with international norms aimed at ensuring the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, as well as its concomitant international cooperation and coordination efforts, with the ultimate goal of setting the world free from the daunting threat of such weapons.”

  2. “By the same token, we believe it vital to ensure accurate, predictable and coherent action by those bodies charged with implementing the non-proliferation regime, in particular the Security Council. Another key challenge facing the international legal regime on that issue is the imperative need to eliminate the weapons of mass destruction currently held by various States. That is a long-standing aspiration of the international community whose realization will require greater involvement on the part of civil society and the scientific community, including non-governmental organizations, in our efforts to foster understanding of and outreach on the obligations borne by States under resolution 1540 (2004) and other related instruments.”

  3. “As set out in the reports we have submitted, we have adapted our legislation and taken various criminal and administrative measures to ensure effective migration and customs control in the aerial and maritime areas. Peru believes, moreover, that efforts to address the threat of such weapons falling into the hands of non-State actors must go hand in hand with greater cooperation at the subregional and regional levels, with the goal of prevention and of the transfer of technology for peaceful purposes. That was the stance taken recently by Peru at the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004) Regional Industry Outreach Conference for the Pacific Alliance States and Brazil, organized recently by the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs in Mexico City last June.”

  4. “Spurred on by this realization, Peru co-sponsored resolutions 1540 (2004) and 2325 (2016), which we deem vital instruments for promoting the urgently needed universalization and comprehensive implementation of the multilateral treaties aimed at preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Moreover, we consider it imperative to develop and implement national legislation so as effectively to monitor the illicit trade in such weapons and their components and delivery systems. In that connection, we would underscore that Peru has made considerable efforts to meet its obligations under the resolutions I mentioned - in terms of nuclear safety, radiological security and the physical protection of nuclear material.”

  5. “Peru believes that the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems represents one of the most serious threats to international peace and security. The situation has deteriorated in recent years, with an increased likelihood of non-State actors, in particular terrorist groups, developing, acquiring or using such weapons and their means of delivery, or trading in them. The threat is real, as we have seen in recent instances, and has been facilitated by rapid advances in science and technology as well as by the expansion of international trade.”

  6. “Mr. Tenya Hasegawa (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): I wish to thank Ms. Izumi Nakamitsu and Mr. Joseph Ballard for their informative briefings today. My delegation aligns itself with the statement to be delivered by the representative of Spain on behalf of the Group of Friends of resolution 1540 (2004). We would also like to add a few comments in our national capacity. My delegation is grateful for this opportunity to engage in dialogue on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, as well as for the efforts undertaken by the chairmanship of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), currently held by the Plurinational State of Bolivia, with a view to strengthening international cooperation on this very important issue.”

  7. “In conclusion, I would like to say that Peru is committed to working with other States in tackling the related outstanding issues in order to achieve a peaceful environment in which all women, without exception, can enjoy their lives to the fullest, free of mistreatment. That is why it is essential to deal comprehensively with sexual violence related to conflict.”

  8. “Peru considers the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women to be fundamental in addressing the root causes of conflict-related sexual violence by transforming harmful sociocultural norms and combating violent extremism. In that sense, our country has been working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 5, aimed at achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. Similarly, Peru supports the inclusion of a gender perspective in United Nations peacekeeping operations. Based on that awareness, the uniformed personnel provided by Peru to peacekeeping operations receive specialized predeployment training on the protection, special needs and human rights of women and children in conflict situations.”

  9. “Furthermore, among measures to prevent violence against women, Peru adopted a law on equal opportunity between men and women, the national programme on gender equality and the national programme against violence against women, which includes the issue of sexual violence in armed conflict. Peru welcomes the trend of systematically incorporating the gender perspective in the mandates of peacekeeping operations and the inclusion of women as participants in conflict prevention and resolution. That is why Peru has been increasing female personnel in each of the six peacekeeping missions in which it participates, currently representing about 15 per cent of the personnel on the ground.”

  10. “That goes hand in hand with the lack of trust and credibility in national institutions, particularly when sexual violence is perpetrated by the very forces responsible for providing necessary protection. With regard to the relevant measures undertaken by Peru on the issue, the Ministry ofWomen and Vulnerable Populations established a registry of displaced persons, which led to the adoption of measures to protect the rights of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations. Similarly, a law adopted in 2005 established a comprehensive reparations programme for victims of the violence that occurred between 1980 and 2000, including those who suffered human rights violations such as rape.”

  11. “That is why Peru believes that conflict-resolution strategies and the fight against terrorism must necessarily include efforts to protect and empower women and girls and to combat conflict-related sexual violence. Despite the efforts of the international community, many documented cases of sexual violence in conflict still exist. In that context, the Organization's work on the ground has been critical in collecting information and facilitating dialogue to obtain protection commitments from parties in conflict. We cannot ignore cultural stigma and victims' fear of suffering reprisals or intimidation by their abusers, including against their families or witnesses, which cause most of them not to report the violence.”

  12. “Mr. Tenya Hasegawa (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset I would like to thank the Uruguayan presidency of the Security Council for convening this open debate on sexual violence in conflict as a tactic of war and terrorism, thereby highlighting one of the greatest atrocities committed against human beings in the context of conflict. Sexual violence used as a tactic of war as part of a widespread or systematic attack on civilian populations is capable of exacerbating and significantly prolonging armed conflict. We can see that terrorist groups commit acts of sexual and gender-based violence as part of their strategic objectives, thereby dealing a harsh blow to entire communities and directly affecting the human rights of women and girls, as well as their health, education and participation in public life.”

  13. “By the same token, we believe that that cooperation must be a corollary to the relations that States could develop with the different entities of the United Nations system. In that regard, we highlight the important role played by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and we hope that that cooperation will continue and extended if possible, in particular in the areas where there have been requests for this crime to be combated. Peru reaffirms its commitment to combating human trafficking and, in that regard, we have co-sponsored trafficking in persons in conflict situation presented by the Spanish Government as a way to continue to support the various efforts and initiatives to address that important issue.”

  14. “Nevertheless, we are of the view that any national effort will have limited results if States do not cooperate with one another. Because it is a transnational crime, we believe that prudent, coordinated and integrated approaches among neighbouring States, in particular. As stipulated in paragraph 17 of resolution 2331 (2016), one way to do that is by sharing useful and timely information in order to achieve the desired results. Another approach to international cooperation that could be considered is the one that we refer to as building legal safety belts, based on a set ofbilateral agreements. Peru's Foreign Ministry has been employing that approach with our neighbours; to date we have reached agreements with Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador and we are currently in talks with Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay.”

  15. “In that spirit, Peru has been implementing its regulatory framework and public policy to address this crime through, inter alia, a law against trafficking in persons and the illicit migrant trafficking, which criminalizes the practice in its penal code and establishes responsibilities; the National Plan of Action against Trafficking in Persons, which constitutes a public policy instrument; and the National Policy against Trafficking in Persons and All Forms of Exploitation, which has four main pillars: implementation targeted and customized to the local and regional realities of the country; attention to the social and cultural factors that lead to trafficking in persons and the exploitation of individuals; the efficient prosecution and punishment of the crime; and care, protection and comprehensive rehabilitation for the victims.”

  16. “To that end, we must on the one hand prevent such crimes while addressing the ongoing situation by dismantling transnational organized gangs and punishing criminals severely; and on the other, support the physical and emotional rehabilitation of persons affected and restore their freedom, integrity and dignity, with a special focus on the most vulnerable groups, such as children, girl children, adolescents and women.”

  17. “Mr. Tenya Hasegawa (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, the delegation ofPeru expresses its strongest condemnation of the attacks that took place yesterday in Ankara and Berlin, while also offering its solidarity to the peoples and Governments of Russia and Germany. Peru commends the Government of Spain on the welcome initiative to organize this open debate and for the submission of resolution 2331 (2016) calling on us to strongly condemn and combat trafficking in persons in conflict situations. As a democratic State, Peru is respectful of human rights and thus of the supreme value of human life and liberty. That is why, for Peru, human trafficking or slavery in the twenty-first century is a horrendous crime in all circumstances, such as conflict situations.”

  18. “My country urges all States to support international efforts to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction and calls for taking and strengthening national measures, as appropriate, so as to prevent non-State actors from acquiring weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems and materials and technologies related to their production. In conclusion, my delegation believes that the maintenance ofpeace and security is a task that requires the participation of the international community as a whole. In that regard, Peru remains firmly committed to the overall architecture of the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. We call upon all Member States to intensify their efforts in that area. You can count on Peru, Madam President, to continue to do its part in this collective effort.”

  19. “We therefore support the enhancement and universalization of legally binding multilateral agreements in that area, having taken various administrative and criminal measures to effectively fulfil the obligations under resolution 1540 (2004), mainly in the areas of border and customs control, controlling air and maritime spaces, and intelligence, in order to prevent the illicit production of, and trade in, weapons of mass destruction. In that regard, Peru has adapted its domestic legislation to the standards set out in resolution 1540 (2004), as was shown in the latest reports submitted by my country on its level of compliance with it.”

  20. “We believe that it is necessary that States continue along the path towards adopting measures to prevent the financing of prohibited activities related to weapons of mass destruction, their delivery systems and related materials, including with regard to the physical protection of, and accounting for, materials related to weapons of mass destruction, all the while ensuring their safe production, use, storage and transport. My country is firmly committed to efforts aimed at achieving complete disarmament and the non-proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, as well as their delivery systems.”

  21. “Specific conventions accord with the provisions of resolution 1540 (2004) in seeking to prevent access by terrorists to weapons of mass destruction. The adoption ofresolution 1540 (2004) was a historic milestone in addressing new threats to international peace and security associated with the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons to non-State actors. Peru was a sponsor the resolution because we believed that it was necessary at the time, as it is now, to act urgently to promote the international and full universalization and implementation of multilateral treaties to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, as well as to encourage States to adopt effective national legislation to control the illicit transfer of such weapons, their delivery systems and related materials.”

  22. “Mr. Tenya Hasegawa (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): Peru welcomes the presidency's convening of this meeting and would like to reiterate its commitment and full support for the Security Council's robust efforts aimed at promoting dialogue and cooperation to confront the threat posed by the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and their means of delivery. Since the founding of the United Nations, the international community has promoted the building of a comprehensive international legal regime on disarmament, specifically nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. The ultimate solution for preventing proliferation lies in achieving the goal of total elimination and prohibition. With respect to the international legal regime, we note a synergy among the mandates of the main international instruments on the subject.”
