“In particular, we emphasize the need to promote rehabilitation activities for recruited children, with a view to facilitating their reintegration into society and building sustainable peace in Syria.”

“And the number of verified cases of recruitment and use of children for military purposes increased by 13 per cent, mostly in Aleppo, Hama and Idlib provinces. In view of that, we would like to highlight the timely and necessary emphasis placed by the Swedish presidency on the responsibility to protect them. That means providing them with a peaceful environment in which to recover and develop a life free from violence of all kinds, as part of a comprehensive strategy to resolve the conflict and maintain peace. I conclude by underlining the particular responsibility of this Council, in line with recent resolution 2427 (2018) on children and armed conflict.”

“Similarly, we are alarmed by the risk of an escalation of violence in Idlib, which could lead to a new hell on Earth. We consider it of the utmost importance to prevent a new humanitarian tragedy, and we stress that the fight against terrorism in no way justifies the violation of human rights or international humanitarian law. It is important to bear in mind that children are particularly vulnerable. Death, orphanhood, malnutrition, injury, illness, trauma, neglect, destruction of schools - these are the consequences of violence for millions of children in Syria. Many of them have known only conflict and forced displacement. According to the Secretary-General's report (S/2018/724), in 2017 alone, there were almost 3,000 serious violations of children's rights, more than in the previous year.”

“We underline the ethical and legal commitment of the Syrian authorities and other influential actors on the ground to facilitating full, unimpeded and immediate access to humanitarian assistance from the United Nations and other relevant agencies. We also stress the need to facilitate the safe and voluntary return of Syrian citizens to their homes and businesses, in accordance with internationally agreed standards. That requires political will, confidence-building and resources. We believe that the support of the international community and the participation of the United Nations is critical. We note with concern the negative consequences that the implementation of Law 10 would have on millions of displaced persons and on the building of sustainable peace in Syria.”

“Mr. Tenya (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We welcome the convening of this meeting and thank Mark Lowcock and Virginia Gamba for the important work they have been carrying out and for the extremely troubling information they have just provided us. The picture they have painted is bleak. The Syrian conflict continues to claim civilian victims and features scenarios where the risk of new escalation is alarming. Humanitarian assistance is very limited. International law and international humanitarian law continue to be violated with impunity. Peru deeply regrets that situation and is particularly concerned about the vulnerability of internally displaced persons and refugees, particularly in the southwest of the country. We note that more than 13 million people require humanitarian assistance in Syria, and more than 5 million are children.”

“In conclusion, we underscore that we cannot remain indifferent to the deaths of 383 civilians - including elderly people, persons with disabilities and children - and conflict-related sexual violence, which has affected 278 women and girls. Such horrendous crimes must be stopped and those responsible must face justice.”
2018-06-28 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8299 (2018) · source
“We deeply regret the death of a Bangladeshi Blue Helmet due to the attack on a humanitarian convoy this week. The fact must be investigated and those responsible must be brought to justice. We commend the United Nations Mission in South Sudan on its efforts to protect civilians. We highlight the initiative undertaken with the United Nations Development Programme to establish a specialized unit to protect the rights of women and children and to develop an action plan to prevent, mitigate and respond to conflict-related cases of sexual violence. We are concerned in particular about the considerable increase in the number of human rights abuses and violations and breaches of international humanitarian law in recent months, as negotiations took place to revitalize the peace process.”
2018-06-28 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8299 (2018) · source
“We must recall that the conflict in South Sudan has forced the displacement of more than 4 million people and that an estimated 7 million will face serious food insecurity in the coming months. For it to last, peace must allow for their urgent needs to be met and provide them with a future of development. To that end, we must express our concern about the serious difficulties that humanitarian assistance faces in reaching the population. The most recent report of the Secretary- General (S/2018/609) describes fatal attacks, arrests, bureaucratic interference, undue charges and the intimidation and harassment of humanitarian workers. All that must stop. We want to acknowledge the dedicated work of the humanitarian organizations and their workers.”

“We would like to acknowledge the important role of IGAD, through its High-Level Revitalization Forum, as well as that of the United Nations, the African Union and various leaders of the region, in facilitating the dialogue between the Sudanese parties. We wish to encourage them to persevere in their efforts to achieve an inclusive, transparent and viable agreement. We emphasize the importance of regional and international support and assistance to ensure that, this time, the peace commitments are fully respected and implemented for the benefit of a population that faces one of the most serious humanitarian crises currently. In the immediate future, that implies observation of the permanent ceasefire, the opening of humanitarian corridors and the release of prisoners of war and political detainees.”

“Mr. Tenya (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We appreciate the convening of this meeting and the valuable information provided today by Assistant Secretary- General Bintou Keita. Peru notes with expectation the direct dialogue between President Salva Kiir and Mr. Riek Machar. We welcome the declaration of the Khartoum agreement between the parties to the conflict in South Sudan, signed yesterday, which we hope will lead the country towards sustainable peace. We trust that the next rounds of talks will make it possible to resolve issues of the governance and security of the country and to reach an agreement on the proposal of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) with regard to such pending issues.”

“We therefore believe that it is important that the Iranian authorities act with extreme prudence. We are particularly concerned about the reports of the alleged delivery of missiles or ballistic technology to the Houthis in Yemen. In that regard, we support the Secretary-General's proposal to conduct additional outreach and training activities for Member States on the procedures and requests that must be submitted through the Procurement Working Group. We also believe it appropriate to recall the obligations of all States, pursuant to resolution 2231 (2015), with regard to the bans on travel and the transfer of arms and related materiel, and the freezing of assets of the persons and entities listed in the resolution's attachments.”

“We take due note of the Iranian compliance, as mentioned by the Secretary-General in his fifth biannual reports (S/2018/601, S/2018/602 and S/2018/624) on the implementation of the JCPOA. We also emphasize the importance of duly investigating the allegations mentioned in the most recent report (S/2017/1030) on the alleged violations of paragraph 2 of annex B to resolution 2231 (2015). We also underscore the importance of continuing to verify that in accordance with paragraph 3 of annex B to resolution 2231 (2015), Iran does not undertake any ballistic-missile-related activity aimed at launching nuclear weapons, including launches that use such ballistic-missile technology. We believe that the Iranian ballistic-missile programme has the potential to increase regional tensions.”

“We therefore affirm the importance of the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) for the Iranian nuclear programme, achieved thanks to the unity that the members of the Council were able to maintain with regard to that issue for years and adopted unanimously under resolution 2231 (2015), which is still in force. In the circumstances, we would like to commend the commitment of the parties to preserving the agreement and the need to safeguard it. We express our appreciation and support for the verification and monitoring work of the International Atomic Energy Agency. We also want to underline the importance of ensuring that Iran continues to fulfil its obligations in that sensitive area.”

“Mr. Tenya (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to express our gratitude for the convening of this meeting and for the briefings by Mrs. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Ambassador Karel van Oosterom, in his capacity as Facilitator for the implementation of resolution 2231 (2015), and Ambassador Joao Pedro Vale de Almeida. We also welcome the presence of the Permanent Representative of Germany at today's meeting. As a country committed to multilateralism, international law and the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes, Peru gives high priority to safeguarding the nuclear non-proliferation regime, including as it concerns delivery systems, as well as to promoting disarmament and arms control.”

“We emphasize the need to ensure adequate representativeness in the committee and the importance of ensuring a 30 per cent level of participation by women, pursuant to the letter that Peru, as a Chair of the Informal Expert Group on Women and Peace and Security, together with Sweden and the United Kingdom, addressed to the Secretary-General and others yesterday. The setting up and launching of the committee are undoubtedly complex tasks that require concessions from all parties. We have great confidence in the diplomatic skills and tireless efforts of the Special Envoy, to whom Peru offers its full support.”

“With respect to the political process, we commend the efforts of Mr. De Mistura and lend our support to the establishment of a framework of minimum understanding, which has allowed for progress to be made in setting up the constitutional committee, which was considered at his recent meeting in Geneva with representatives of the Astana guarantor countries and other relevant actors. We believe it is important that the Syrian opposition submit a consensual list of candidates for membership of the committee as soon as possible.”

“We are also concerned about the 2.5 million people in Idlib, whose situation could lead to further tragedy. In line with the calls by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, we consider it necessary for there to be an immediate cessation of hostilities and for all parties to live up to their responsibility to protect the civilian population and allow for the provision of humanitarian assistance in a sustained, safe and unhindered manner throughout Syrian territory. We deeply regret the continued attacks on medical personnel and infrastructure in Syrian territory, particularly in Idlib and more recently in the south-west of the country. We welcome the valuable efforts in Astana of the working group on detainees and missing persons. We are confident that positive results will soon be achieved there.”

“In view of the continuing increase in the number of displaced persons and those in need of assistance, Peru believes it is essential that the Security Council be able to respond to the humanitarian crisis, in keeping with international humanitarian law, regardless of the differences and divisions that the conflict in Syria is generating. We must express our concern about the continuation of hostilities in south-west Syria, particularly in Dar'a province, in the light of the devastating humanitarian consequences it may have for the more than 750,000 civilians who live there, as well as its potential destabilizing impact on the region. We consider it urgent to address the needs of the thousands of newly displaced people in that area who are being sheltered in makeshift camps near the Jordanian border and remain highly vulnerable.”

“Mr. Tenya (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We are grateful for the convening of today's meeting and thank Mr. Staffan de Mistura and Mr. John Ging for the important information they have shared with us today. We would like to stress the significance ofthe report of the Secretary-General on cross-border assistance in Syria (S/2018/6l7), which has allowed us to learn more about the functioning of the assistance-distribution system and the verification mechanism. We emphasize the need to preserve a system on which the survival of millions of people depends.”

“Compliance with that mandate depends to a great extent on States' living up to their responsibility to cooperate with the enforcement of sentences, implement warrants and respond to requests for assistance by the Residual Mechanism. In that regard, the Council can and must play its role as guarantor. As Chair of the Working Group on International Tribunals, Peru would like to thank all the delegations that assisted and participated constructively during the consultations leading to the adoption of resolution 2422 (2018), which reflects the conclusions of the second review of the work of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, renews its mandate and appoints its Prosecutor.”

“Mr. Tenya (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): I would like to take this opportunity to recall that international criminal law is vital to enabling access to justice, fighting impunity for atrocity crimes, deterring potential perpetrators and ultimately safeguarding human rights and promoting sustainable peace and the maintenance of international peace and security. I want to stress the importance of maintaining the unity of the Security Council in its support for the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, which is mandated to fight impunity and contribute to reconciliation in countries where atrocity crimes have been committed.”

“Peru acknowledges that the countries of the Middle East and North Africa face significant challenges in achieving sustainable peace that can lead to serious threats to international peace and security, in particular with regard to those posed by terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. However, far from condemning those regions to an endless recurrence of their conflicts, history shows us that in many periods and contexts, the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa have been able to prosper in peace and harmony while preserving their rich cultural, ethnic and religious diversity.”

“It also entails having the capacities to meet the people's expectations, acknowledging their legitimate aspirations and protecting and promoting their human rights - especially those of minorities - as well as promoting development centred on the individual and human dignity. We underscore the importance of involving women and young people in building a common vision for a future that is able to break the vicious cycles of present and past conflicts as well as the need to redouble efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as adopted by the Organization. Lastly, our third point concerns the promotion of new regional dynamics.”

“Peru believes that in a world characterized by an increasing level of interdependence, timely and predictable action on the part of the United Nations is essential to ensuring the effectiveness of a rules-based collective security system that in turn is essential to sustaining peace in any given country or region. Our second point concerns the building and strengthening of peaceful and inclusive societies administered by transparent and accountable institutions. The concept of sustainable peace is based on building a common vision for a society while ensuring that the needs of all sectors of the population are considered, which entails establishing inclusive institutions capable of preventing and resolving the conflicts that naturally arise in any society.”

“We emphasize the binding character of international humanitarian law in any conflict, as well as the need to preserve the regimes for the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and to strengthen international cooperation so as to effectively combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. We also want to emphasize the Council's responsibility for protecting civilian populations from atrocity crimes when national Governments lack the capacity or will to fulfil the basic responsibility of protecting their own people. In accordance with the Charter, we also emphasize the importance of preventive diplomacy, the prerogatives conferred on the Secretary-General and the mechanisms for the peaceful settlement of disputes provided for in Chapter VI, including recourse to the International Court of Justice.”

“In that regard, Peru underscores the importance of ensuring that our Organization can achieve greater coherence, efficiency and effectiveness in the prevention and resolution of conflicts. To that end, we propose what we consider three priority areas for action. The first is about ensuring the validity of multilateralism and international law. Peru believes that with regard to the maintenance of international peace and security, the Council must always live up to the important responsibilities that the Charter of the United Nations confers on it as well as ensure that its mandated decisions are implemented.”

“We recognize the continuum, from Morocco to the Persian Gulf, of a rich cultural, religious and ethnic diversity and we want to highlight the continuing desire for peace and prosperity of the region's peoples. Any society or region can always achieve sustainable peace with the firm support of the international community, especially in the case of the various communities of the Middle East and North Africa region, which have always demonstrated a great capacity for resilience. The work of the United Nations, particularly the Security Council, must begin with a comprehensive analysis of the root causes of conflicts, which, in many cases, are aggravated by political instability, lack of development, intra-regional rivalries and the presence of Violent extremism.”

“Mr. Tenya (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the Russian presidency for convening today's meeting and for the concept note (S/2018/524, annex), which calls on us to consider the root causes of conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa with a view to addressing them in a more comprehensive and effective way and in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. In particular, we would like to acknowledge your presence, Mr. Deputy Minister, and to thank Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for his important briefing. As a country steeped in its Hispanic heritage, Peru maintains historical ties with the countries of the Middle East and North Africa.”

“To conclude, I stress the importance ofundertaking an inclusive political process by the Central African authorities involving men and women of different social, economic, ethnic and religious backgrounds. The solution to the crisis in the Central African Republic can be found only through dialogue and national reconciliation among the Central Africans themselves.”
2018-06-21 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8291 (2018) · source
“Those efforts should be complemented by a robust judicial system, which is why we recognize the efforts of the Central African authorities to operationalize their judicial institutions, especially the Special Criminal Court and the national human rights commission, with a view to generating strong action against various types of abuse, including cases of sexual violence and the involvement of children in the conflict. Peru wishes to highlight MINUSCA's sensitive functions in an adverse and complex environment. We believe that its operational capabilities - as the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of MINUSCA mentioned earlier - must be strengthened, and we therefore stress the need to ensure the safety of the Blue Helmets on the ground. In that regard, we look forward to the results of the Mission's strategic review.”

“It is also essential to create synergies between the United Nations and relevant regional organizations and neighbouring countries with a view to coordinating efforts in favour of political processes and border crime control. In that regard, we welcome the joint visit of Mr. Jean-Pierre Lacroix and Mr. Smail Chergui to the Central African Republic in April, and we agree with the Secretary- General on the need to revive the bilateral joint commissions of the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Chad and the Sudan.”

“It is essential to provide those forces with the necessary operational and logistical support. The difficult socioeconomic reality also contributes to the country's instability. That is why it is critical that the international community back the Government's efforts as embodied in the National Recovery and Peacebuilding Plan and the Mutual Engagement Framework. We especially believe that it is crucial to generate employment, particularly for young people, in order to prevent their recruitment into violent groups. In that regard, we highlight the role of the panel of facilitators of the African Initiative for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic in promoting dialogue between armed groups and civil society.”

“Most of the country is living in a state of permanent conflict as a result of an increase in inter-ethnic violence, access to weapons and the struggle for control of natural resources waged among armed groups, as well as the promotion of messages inciting religious violence, hatred and stigmatization. That has led to the continued attacks on the civilian population, MINUSCA personnel and humanitarian workers, which have spread to the country's capital. The Central African Republic is today one of the most dangerous and difficult environments. In that context, we highlight the vital joint efforts that MINUSCA and the European Union are carrying out in training Central African military and police forces, such as projects on the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of ex-combatants and security sector reform.”

We also welcome the participation of Mr. Bedializoun Moussa Nebie and Brigadier General Herminio Teodoro Maio.

We highlight the work of the Special Mission and the need to facilitate its safe access on the ground. In line with the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes, we would also like to welcome efforts to facilitate dialogue between the parties, in particular within the framework of the Normandy format and the Trilateral Contact Group.”

Peru stresses that the Minsk agreements constitute the legal basis for the political solution required to end the conflict experienced in eastern Ukraine. In that regard, we support the package of measures for the full implementation of the Minsk agreements, which the Council endorsed in February 2015. We reiterate the need to comply with the ceasefire agreed by the parties and supported by the Council, as well as the withdrawal of heavy artillery, often located near populated areas.”

Peru has been following with concern the complex and unstable situation in eastern Ukraine, as well as its serious implications for the country's governance and development and for regional stability. The civilian population has endured deplorable suffering. In four years of conflict, more than 2,500 civilians have lost their lives, and 9,000 civilians have been injured. More than 4.4 million people are in dire need of humanitarian aid, of which more than 1.6 million are internally displaced.”

We also wish to welcome the strategy of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) to achieve gender parity in its ranks by 2021 and the appointment of a gender adviser to the National Independent Electoral Commission.

We emphasize the importance of the National Security Council moving forward in the implementation of the road map to prepare for the general elections, to be exercised by universal suffrage in 2020-2021, prioritizing the constitutional review process and the establishment of an electoral legal framework. We deem it important to promote the active participation of women in national processes, particularly given that Somalia is a country marred by high levels of sexual violence.”

“Said transfer must be implemented in an orderly and gradual manner, so as to safeguard the existing achievements. We also highlight the need for the provision of the financial support required for coordinated implementation by the Federal Government and the federal states, backed by the African Union and international partners. We welcome the significant headway made in the strengthening of Somali security institutions, including the new police model adopted at the state and federal levels, the political agreement on the justice and corrections model for Somalia, as well as initiatives to curb violent extremism. We welcome also the efforts of the Federal Government to promote the peace and reconciliation process, as well as the rollout of the peace process aimed at easing tensions between clans in Marka.”

We hope that the technical support provided by those institutions will make it possible to implement the economic reforms necessary to improve the living conditions of the Somali people. We condemn the attacks committed by Al-Shabaab and support the Secretary-General's call for the Federal Government and international partners to develop a coherent approach to mitigating the threat posed by improvised explosive devices, which are often used by that terrorist group. We underline also the importance of the transition plan as a vehicle for the Somali authorities to assume full responsibility for security.”

“Mr. Tenya (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We express our gratitude for the convening of this afternoon's meeting and our thanks for the briefings we have heard from Mr. Keating and Mr. Francisco Caetano Jose Madeira. Peru has been keeping a close eye on the situation in Somalia, where, despite the progress made in recent months, the humanitarian crisis continues to affect more than 5 million people. In addition, the security situation remains unstable, and human rights, including those of women and children, continue to be violated. We deem positive the new focus adopted to address the humanitarian situation through the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan for Somalia and the recovery and resilience framework, which are aimed at breaking the cycle of vulnerability and deprivation by 2022.”
