1. “Dealing with them in an integral manner will contribute more effectively to successfully addressing issues concerning children, especially those in conflict situations. Their lives and the future of countries in conflict or emerging from conflict depend on our efforts, as, ultimately, does the stability of entire regions everywhere in the world.”

2. “As borne out by the improved situation of children in Cote d'Ivoire, in stabilized areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Nepal, when a country's political leaders reach a viable and sustainable peace agreement and assume the responsibility to protect their population, particularly their children, conditions tend to improve. It is for this very reason that emphasis should be placed on the need for the Security Council and the other United Nations organs to support the work of the Peacebuilding Commission in order to adopt an integral approach to managing post-conflict processes with a view to preventing the resurgence of violence. In conclusion, we are of the view that human rights, peace, international security and development are mutually interlinked.”

3. “Also pending is the updating and strengthening of existing mechanisms to achieve the objectives of resolution 1612 (2005) under the new circumstances of insecurity that children confront, particularly in countries where the Security Council has established peacekeeping operations or political missions. To this end, Peru considers it important that the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict should also include in her reports, in a disaggregated manner, information on rapes and sexual abuse of children, particularly girls, along with information from peacekeeping operations and the Department of Political Affairs. It would also be desirable to bolster the capacity of such missions with child protection advisers.”

4. “Peru is pleased that it has been able to contribute to the prosecution of those accused of these and other crimes before the International Criminal Court. We agree with the Secretary-General's recommendation that the Security Council attach the same importance to all categories of grave violations, not only the recruitment and use of child soldiers, but also the killing and maiming of children, rape and other grave sexual violence, abductions, attacks against schools, hospitals and refugee centres, and denial of access to humanitarian aid that specifically targets children. The task of implementing resolution 1612 (2005) remains pending and should be approached in a coordinated fashion, by States, the United Nations system and civil society alike.”

5. “We wish to highlight the need for Member States - particularly those affected by armed conflict - to continue, within the framework of their legal systems, to undertake or adopt measures to bring to justice those responsible for the recruitment and use of children and other grave crimes committed against children. Neither amnesty nor impunity is acceptable. We would also like to highlight the role that has been played by the International Criminal Court in cases such as those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the importance of expanding the categories of offences against children falling within its jurisdiction. Support for the work of international justice mechanisms is part of an holistic approach by the Security Council to support peace, truth and national reconciliation.”

6. “Conflict is a circumstance in which the situation of children requires redoubled and concerted efforts. Therefore, Peru supports the Secretary-General's recommendations and requests the Security Council and the other bodies concerned to adopt them. States have equipped themselves with binding instruments to protect human rights and humanitarian law. Even in the context of conflict situations, we must reaffirm the importance of making progress in the universalization and effective implementation of such law. For its part, the Security Council should continue to employ, or expand the use of, available instruments and measures to halt the abuse of children's rights in conflict situations.”

7. “Ms. Tincopa (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, I wish to thank you, Sir, and your delegation for having organized this important debate. We also wish to express our gratitude for the report submitted by the Secretary-General (S/2007/757) and for the statements made this morning by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, the Executive Director of UNICEF and the Representative of Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict on behalf of non-governmental organizations. Because of the conditions of underdevelopment and exclusion, protecting children is extremely difficult in many of the countries covered by the Secretary- General's report and by the Security Council's Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict.”

8. “The Government of national unity should cooperate to ensure that all pending matters are resolved, including the matter of aviation and land transportation units, and to ensure that their freedom of movement and communication are not hampered. The objective is to ensure that deployment of the Hybrid Operation takes place with the necessary due urgency so that it can start to provide needed protection to the civilian population. 25”

   2007-11-27 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5784 (2007) · source

9. “Additionally, all parties should be required to ensure total and unhindered humanitarian access. We also reaffirm the need for the Government of the Sudan and all parties to the conflict to cooperate fully with the International Criminal Court and its Prosecutor, in keeping with the provisions of resolution 1593 (2005). On the subject of the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, Peru echoes the concerns about the delays in deployment that could lead to a further deterioration in security situations. Therefore, the established time frames must be met, and the Blue Helmets must assume their responsibilities, as mandated by this Council.”

10. “However, we feel it is necessary that the Mediation and the parties work to achieve sustainable and practical solutions that will guarantee the safety and security of the population and the continuation of the process. The dismantling of the militias is a matter that should be part of the agenda for these talks. We believe in the need to have a disarmament process of the Janjaweed militia that goes beyond the Darfur Peace Agreement that was signed in May last year. International oversight is necessary to ensure that it is effectively and promptly implemented. Moreover, we are concerned by the continued deterioration of the security and humanitarian situation. It continues to be essential to ensure the protection of the civilian population and that the parties cease hostilities.”

11. “The process of peace talks, which began on 27 October in Sirte demonstrates this. Here, we feel it necessary to repeat to the parties that it is only through political dialogue and inclusive consultations that a sustainable, viable and comprehensive solution to the Darfur crisis can be reached. We also believe it is important to persevere with endeavours to ensure that the rebel groups that have not yet joined the process will do so before the 07-61468 beginning of the next stage, assuming their responsibility to the peace and stability of the region. We believe that the topics dealt with by the parties during the two stages of the discussions - security, wealth- and power-sharing and, humanitarian affairs, among others - are complex and are a point of controversy between the rebel groups and the Government.”

12. “Ms. Tincopa (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): Let me begin by welcoming the participation of the Permanent Representative of the Sudan in this meeting. Likewise, we would like to thank Mr. Jan Eliasson, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, for his briefing and to reaffirm our support for his work in the political dialogue on Darfur. We would also like to thank Under- Secretary-General Jean-Marie Guehenno for his briefing. Peru welcomes the initiatives that are being taken to realize the political dialogue process in Darfur. We note the participation of the African Union (AU) and the regional partners working with the United Nations in seeking dialogue among the parties. In the light of the most recent developments, it is clear that we must persevere to bring an end to the crisis and achieve peace and security in the region.”

13. “Holmes what he believes the Security Council could do to monitor the full implementation of the agreement, which we believe is very important for protecting the civilian population by facilitating humanitarian assistance. We would also like to ask whether OCHA has taken measures in preparation for the forthcoming rainy season so as to ensure that access to humanitarian assistance is not further impeded in that area.”

14. “Jan Eliasson, and by the African Union mediator, Mr. Salim Ahmed Salim, to consult with the various parties to conflict with a view to moving the peace process forward. We also welcome the progress that has been made in the context of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in the south, with regard to which OCHA will continue its efforts. In that connection, it is important that the Government take steps to implement a social development plan in the area. We also consider the agreement signed by the Sudanese Government and the United Nations to be a positive tool with a view to facilitating the distribution of humanitarian assistance. In this regard, we would like to ask Mr.”

15. “Given the difficult situation on the ground, in which, we have heard, women and girls are being raped and subjected to other acts of abuse and children are being recruited by militias and groups involved in conflict, we are bogged down in seemingly technical discussions about the United Nations presence, the presence of the African Union in the case of Darfur and the multinational presence in the case of Chad. We see the consequences of these delays in terms of human lives lost. Like others, we are of the view that the resolution of the Darfur crisis is the key to restoring stability to the Sudan and to the region as a whole, in particular Chad and the Central African Republic. In this regard, we support all the efforts that are being made, including the work undertaken by the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, Mr.”

16. “Ms. Tincopa (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We, too, would like to thank Mr. Holmes for the up-to-date information that he provided, informing us about the situation in that part of the African region. We share his concerns regarding the deteriorating security situation there, which has further impeded humanitarian assistance programmes. We regret the fact that, in spite of the good intentions of the international community, including the Security Council, the civilian population, in particular displaced persons and refugees from the three countries to which he referred, continue to lack protection and that the situation continues to be one of total impunity.”

17. “In this context, it is important that the Security Council, the regional organizations and all interested countries continue to seek a way to convince the Government to implement rapidly resolution 1706 (2006), in particular to support effective implement of the DPA and protection of civilians. We would also like to say that we support the Secretary-General's recommendation to renew the mandate of the United Nations Mission in the Sudan. We have a question for Mr. Pronk regarding the lack of political will in the Ceasefire Commission. What are the details behind this, and why have the ceasefire commitments been constantly violated?”

    2006-09-18 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5528 (2006) · source

18. “We appreciate and share the five conditions that Mr. Pronk has put forward to get the DPA out of its deep coma. We regret that the Government of the Sudan does not wish to understand that the goal of the peacekeeping operation in Darfur is nothing other than to work cooperatively with its authorities for the implementation of the peace and security agreements and for the protection of the population in Darfur, which at present is not protected at all. Developments in the field show that this is urgent. The deterioration of security conditions and the restricted humanitarian assistance mean that millions of people are at great risk, on the border of a humanitarian crisis.”

    2006-09-18 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5528 (2006) · source

19. “It is important that the Government develop a policy of total transparency in its handling of oil revenues and assume its primary responsibility of guaranteeing the development of all the people of the Sudan. That can be done through policies and programmes to fight poverty and in a framework of full respect for human rights. We agree with what the Secretary-General's report says with regard to the fact that donors and the international community should support the people of the Sudan in facing the challenges of the peace process and provide financial, technical and political assistance to carry out the programme of the CPA. It has been said that peace is indivisible. Some of the progress that has been made under the CPA could be severely affected if at the same time no progress is made in implementing the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA).”

20. “Ms. Tincopa (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank Mr. Pronk for his excellent presentation. We think that the information he has given us is very useful. We are concerned at hearing that the implementation of the commitments under the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) is stagnant or has made only very little progress. We would like to urge all parties involved to comply fully with their commitments under the CPA and not give priority to some to the detriment of others. I think it is important that we start to work urgently on the issues of the sharing of power and wealth, which are the cornerstone of the Agreement. Another aspect that needs urgent political commitment is the Ceasefire Commission. The Sudan is growing economically and is benefiting from the high price of oil.”

21. “Have discussions been held with the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or has Mr. Egeland's Office undertaken a programme to prevent that potential situation?”

    2006-09-15 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5525 (2006) · source

22. “In this context, we want to stress the importance of speedy implementation of resolution 1706 (2006) for internally displaced persons in Darfur and in Chad. With regard to the financial situation, we believe that the international community needs to continue to provide additional resources and seek intelligent ways and means to obtain financial assistance. Without such assistance, populations in these African countries will continue to suffer, and many more human lives will be lost. I have a question for Mr. Egeland on the process for the forthcoming second round of elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Is there any indication that this might lead to a resurgence of violence or a deterioration of the security situation? Is there a plan to prevent any aggravation of the humanitarian crisis?”

    2006-09-15 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5525 (2006) · source

23. “Another situation relates to violence against the civilian population. The Security Council needs to continue to work to protect civilians and to ensure respect for and guarantees of their human rights. Violence against women is unacceptable; I think that the Security Council must send a very clear message about putting an end to this practice, which is becoming habitual in some African countries. Governments need to be responsible for taking action to put an end to this practice. Yet another issue is that of internally displaced persons. Assistance to these people must continue to be a priority. We all realize the difficult situation for internally displaced persons in Darfur, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Uganda and in Chad.”

24. “Although there has been some progress, and although there have been efforts in establishing democratic institutions and in holding elections, the task is far broader than that. In our view, that task needs to go hand in hand with economic progress. The social development of the country is of great importance, as is respect for the rule of law. The second element is the issue of impunity. We consider that the Security Council and all parties concerned need to continue to work to end impunity. We support the International Criminal Court playing a significant role in seeking reconciliation and punishment for those who violate human rights. We believe that there can be no reconciliation if those who are responsible go unpunished and if due attention is not paid to the victims of these crimes.”

25. “Ms. Tincopa (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We, too, would like to thank Mr. Egeland for his update on the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Uganda. We are happy that there have been some improvements in those countries. In that connection, we welcome the agreement signed between the Government of Uganda and the Lord's Resistance Army. Although there has been major progress, I believe that the challenges are even greater. In this context, I would like to point to some elements that the Security Council and the international community need to continue to work on. The first is the humanitarian situation. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for example, the situation remains critical.”

26. “However, my delegation hopes that, with the support of the Government of the Sudan, regional organizations and the international community, we will be able to bring about peace and stability to Darfur, on the basis of a political approach and through dialogue. In that context, we support several elements of the assessment of the Secretary-General with regard to the plan presented by the Sudan for Darfur. Finally, my delegation, too, would like to convey to the people and the Government of the United States our solidarity on this anniversary date and our continuing support in the fight against terrorism.”

27. “The African Union should continue to play an important role in the area. The third measure would be to achieve a lasting and viable ceasefire agreement, in compliance with the commitments contained in the Darfur Peace Agreement, specifically chapter III, and all previous peace agreements. The fourth measure - perhaps the most important - concerns the humanitarian question. The international community must continue to seek appropriate means of cooperation and of securing financial support in order to protect the civilian population. We must accept the fact that Darfur poses an enormous challenge that the Security Council has so far not been able to resolve.”

    2006-09-11 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5520 (2006) · source

28. “In that context, we believe that the Security Council, should, as a priority, ensure the implementation of resolution 1706 (2006), specifically to promote the effective implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement and protection of civilians. Given developments in the field, we deem it important that the Security Council, on the basis of resolution 1706 (2006), take the following urgent measures. First, it must seek an early deployment of the United Nations Mission in the Sudan (UNMIS) in Darfur, which means continuing dialogue with the Government of the Sudan. Today we heard the representative of the Sudan say that his Government is prepared to engage in dialogue. We hope that this state of affairs will continue. 19 The second step would be an immediate reinforcement of AMIS.”

    2006-09-11 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5520 (2006) · source

29. “We regret that the Government of the Sudan is resisting understanding that the objective of the peace operation in Darfur would be only to work in cooperation with its authorities to implement the peace and security agreements and to protect the population of Darfur, which has no protection at the present time. Developments in the field show that this is urgent. Deterioration in the security conditions and restricted access to humanitarian aid mean that millions of people are at serious risk and on the verge of a humanitarian disaster. Given the situation, we believe that the United Nations cannot ever abdicate its ethical responsibility to protect and defend human rights when Governments cannot or do not wish to protect their own peoples.”

We would like also to thank all of those who have used their best offices to persuade the highest authorities of the Government of the Sudan to accept a handover from the African Union Mission in the Sudan (AMIS) to a United Nations peace operation.”

31. “In that regard, I would point to the reference in the Secretary-General's report to a "compact" between Timor-Leste and the international community to reorient the existing national development plan in order to make it more effective and productive. If that challenge is to be met, it is essential for the Government and the national social actors of Timor-Leste to work together and responsibly in drafting policies and programmes to that end.”

    2006-08-15 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.5512 (2006) · source

32. “Along the same lines, we would refer to the Secretary-General's report on justice and reconciliation in Timor-Leste, in which emphasis is placed on recognizing the efforts undertaken by Indonesia and Timor-Leste in the area of truth and friendship. We believe, however, that it is important for both Governments to continue to strengthen the capacities of their respective judicial systems, in particular with respect to bringing to justice those responsible for serious violations of human rights committed in Timor- Leste in 1999. In conclusion, I wish to underscore the importance of continuing to promote economic development in Timor-Leste and for income to reach those most in need. To a great extent, the long-term success of Timor-Leste will depend on the success of economic and social development.”

33. “Its relationship to resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security is essential in a country like Timor-Leste, where women need an opportunity to participate fully in all aspects of the promotion, maintenance and building of peace and where they need to be empowered in order to participate in the political decision-making and development of their country. We also believe it important to have a human rights and transitional justice unit to monitor the human rights situation and assist the Timorese authorities in ensuring that those who are responsible for violating human rights are punished and that victims will enjoy individual and collective redress.”

34. “We also support the joint operations and joint mission analysis centres. In brief, we would stress that Peru supports the strong and robust mandate for the new United Nations mission in Timor-Leste described in paragraph 110 of the Secretary-General's report. We would wish the elements and activities described therein to be included in the draft resolution to be adopted by the Council in the coming days. With regard to the civilian component, we would like to focus on the gender unit.”

35. “We support the Secretary-General's proposal to deploy a maximum of 1,608 United Nations police personnel to Timor-Leste in the period leading up to, during and after the 2007 elections, and gradually to draw it down following the elections. We support a small military component under the control and command of the United Nations with a maximum of 350 armed and unarmed troops of all ranks, to be concentrated in Dili, with the exception of unarmed liaison officer teams in the border districts, as described in paragraph 118 of the Secretary-General's report. We support the inclusion of the civilian component and its various mechanisms, including units for political affairs, elections, human rights and transitional justice, democratic governance, humanitarian affairs and gender, to mention but a few.”

The Secretary-General's report pursuant to resolution 1690 (2006) provides a complete and objective assessment of the situation in Timor-Leste, along with specific recommendations for the establishment of an integrated and multidimensional United Nations mission. Peru supports many of those recommendations, among which I would highlight the following.”

We also welcome the presence in the Chamber of Minister for Foreign Affairs J ose Luis Guterres. Moreover, we wish to express our thanks for the reports of the Secretary-General. Peru firmly supports the Government and people of Timor-Leste in their quest to ensure a State that will be peaceful and sustainable in the long term. In that regard, we would highlight the measures adopted in the past month to halt the violence and insecurity experienced by that country in May and June 2006. We welcome the appointments of Mr. Jose Ramos-Horta as Prime Minister and of other members of the cabinet on 10 July, creating an atmosphere of tranquillity and hope following a series of unfortunate events.”

39. “The parties to armed conflict should cooperate with her work, as well as with that carried out by UNICEF and other relevant United Nations entities. The Working Group of the Security Council should play an important role in the implementation of recommendations arising from the review of the reports. The full application of the recommendations will be important to prevent worse violations. The Working Group should also finalize its review of the reports of the monitoring and reporting mechanism referred to in paragraph 3 of resolution 1612 (2005); it could then consider the possibility of moving on to a second phase and examining other situations in which children are recruited and used as soldiers in hostilities or conflicts.”

40. “In that regard, I would like to highlight the case of Thomas Lubanga, arrested by the International Criminal Court last March for recruiting and using boys and girls as soldiers in the hostilities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That case represents important action taken against those responsible for such acts. United Nations peacekeeping missions, international relevant bodies and non-governmental organizations should include in their mandates the provision of human rights education and training for all those working on the implementation of the monitoring and reporting mechanism. In particular, they should include young people working towards that goal. We should also support the work being carried out by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and her visits to the field.”

41. “Furthermore, I would like to make some comments that could be taken into account as we pursue the full implementation of resolution 1612 (2005). In addressing the topic of children in armed conflict, we should integrate cooperation and technical assistance to generate and increase national capacities to formulate policies to prevent human rights Violations. The international community should continue to use all instruments and mechanisms available to put an end to the violations of human rights of children involved in armed conflict. Impunity must end. Those responsible for grave abuses against children should be brought to justice.”

42. “First, a new Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflicts, Ms. Coomaraswamy, has been appointed. We believe that her appointment expresses the will of the international community to contribute with permanent and lasting solutions to the unacceptable situation of children affected by armed conflict. Secondly, the monitoring and reporting mechanism on children and armed conflict has been launched and the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict has been established under the chairmanship of France, demonstrating the Security Council's commitment to the promotion and defence of the rights of children in armed conflict. The Security Council is one of the key bodies for taking accountable and concrete action in response to the serious violations of the rights of the child.”

43. “We also encourage them to continue to work together with a view to ending the recruitment and use as soldiers of children in armed conflicts and to protecting them when they are involved in conflict, as in the current crisis in the Middle East. Resolution 1612 (2005), together with all prior resolutions on the same topic, provides a formal and detailed structure to govern the protection of children affected by armed conflict and offers the key elements in ensuring respect for the rights of children in the field. Peru firmly supports the universal principle that all parties to armed conflict should respect all the rights of children in all circumstances. In that regard, we welcome the progress made since the adoption of resolution 1612 (2005), mainly in the following areas.”

46. “We support the extension of the mandate of the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL) for another month, but we believe that the United Nations office that will established after UNOTIL must have a robust mandate that is focused on strengthening democracy, building the capacity of national mechanisms for the promotion and protection of human rights, and providing the necessary assistance in the area of security and support for the elections. The success of the 2007 elections will be a decisive step for peacebuilding and democracy in Timor-Leste. Likewise, Peru calls on the Timorese leaders to act responsibly, through dialogue and confidence- building. We deem it important to investigate the causes of the violent incidents that took place in Dili and in other towns and that action be taken in that respect.”

48. “As we have pointed out in previous statements, we believe that Timor-Leste requires a compact whereby the United Nations, the friends and partners of Timor-Leste and the international community, including international financial institutions, would provide resources for the achievement of specific objectives that would ensure stability, development and security in that country. To do so, it is important for the Government responsibly to present a political and development plan agreed upon by all social actors which would include policies and actions aimed at ensuring good governance, as well as programmes related to the allocation of income obtained from oil and gas to development and to the fight against poverty.”

49. “We welcome also the support of the four countries that provided security and defence forces in the framework of bilateral agreements, and we take note also of the statements they made today in the Council. Likewise, we would also like to highlight the timely humanitarian assistance provided by some international organizations, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and non-governmental organizations, to assist the civilian population and displaced persons. We believe that such assistance should continue. Peru believes that the instability that Timor-Leste is experiencing requires international support. The United Nations cannot abandon Timor-Leste at a time when it is in such dire need of assistance.”

Peru regrets the violent incidents that have taken place in recent weeks in Timor-Leste related to the political and security situation in that country, which make clear the serious problems that the country is still facing. We would like to express our gratitude to all of the Timorese and international players that are seeking dialogue and reconciliation, with a View to restoring peace and security.”
