“Before concluding, my delegation would like to take this opportunity to convey to Ambassador Francois Delattre, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations, our best wishes for success in the high-level functions that have been entrusted to him by his Government, which he will soon take up. We are sure that his outstanding contribution in the new role that he is taking will be as valuable as it has been in the Council, during which time he has worked effectively to address the issues on the Council's agenda, such as the maintenance of international peace and security. I warmly congratulate him and extend to him the friendship of the Peruvian delegation.”

“We welcome in particular the fact that this resolution establishes clear and specific criteria for the effective implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali, which we reiterate must remain the priority for the people and Government of Mali. We also underscore that the resolution includes a more appropriate mandate for MINUSMA, which can help it address the dramatic situation in the centre of the country. Once again, we stress the importance of Council members continuing to work together to provide MINUSMA with the necessary tools, because its presence on the ground is essential for achieving stability in Mali.”

“Mr. Ugarelli (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, my delegation would like to congratulate the Kuwaiti presidency for its excellent and participatory work in guiding the Security Council's efforts during this particularly busy month, which is reflected in the number of resolutions that have been adopted. Peru voted in favour of resolution 2480 (2019), as we believe it is vital to continue to support Mali in its efforts to assert the State authority, protect civilians and achieve peace and national reconciliation. We would like to thank France for its efforts undertaken during the discussions on the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) in order to achieve consensus among all members of the Council, bearing in mind the importance of this peacekeeping operation.”

“Furthermore, taking the current political and security context in Mali into account, we agree that the role of MINUSMA needs to be strengthened, in coordination with other international actors and the United Nations country team, in order to protect civilians and fulfil the implementation of the peace agreement and the necessary political reforms. Peru recognizes the work of MINUSMA and Special Representative Mahamat Saleh Annadif in a particularly adverse environment and very challenging operational conditions. The presence of MINUSMA on the ground constitutes a fundamental contribution to stability in Mali. We agree with the Secretary-General that it would be pertinent to renew the Mission's mandate for another year so that it can continue to support this country along the shared path towards peace and reconciliation.”

“In a country where more than 1 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, achieving long-term stability prosperity will be possible only if steps are taken to address the root causes of the conflict, focusing also on promoting development and respect for human rights. We underscore the need to provide humanitarian assistance, in line with the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel and its support plan, as a comprehensive framework for promoting coherent and integrated international support, in line with national priorities.”

“We consider it necessary to pay special attention to the actions of violent extremist groups, who take advantage of the limited presence of the State to expand their influence and establish their own administration and relations with the communities. We also recognize the role of the Joint Force of the Group of Five for the Sahel in strengthening the regional response to terrorism and transnational organized crime. In that regard, and as we stated this morning (see S/PV.8546), there is a pressing need to establish measures aimed at local-level conflict prevention and resolution, as well as the protection of civilians, through dialogue and the strengthening of police functions. My third point concerns development.”

“First, with regard to the political process, it is critical to work without delay on the political and institutional reforms required to improve governance, security and socioeconomic development, as provided for in resolution 2423 (2018). We believe that reforms pertaining to decentralization, future elections and constitutional review are crucial in this context, as is increasing the participation of women in the peace process. Secondly, in the security field, we highlight the efforts of the Malian Government to implement the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme for ex-combatants, as well as the long- overdue security sector reform, aimed at enabling the deployment of new forces.”

“We believe that the full implementation of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali should remain a top priority for the Government and the people of Mali. It is crucial that all stakeholders work together to stabilize the country with a view to expanding the vital presence of the State throughout the nation. We therefore welcome the recent political progress seen in Mali, which has paved the way for the establishment of an inclusive Government. This should serve as an incentive to tackle the difficult security situation and the persistent humanitarian crisis, particularly in the centre and north of the country. In that context, I would like to address three key areas on the matter.”

“Mr. Ugarelli (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We appreciate the convening ofthis meeting and the detailed briefing we heard from the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Mahamat Saleh Annadif. We also welcome the presence of Mr. Tiebile Drame', Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Mali, in the Security Council. We regret the loss of human life that occurred on Sunday in Sobame-Da, in central Mali, as a result of inter-ethnic violence. We wish to convey our sincere condolences to all those affected. This is yet another demonstration of a conflict scenario compounded by the actions of terrorist groups, clashes between armed groups, intercommunal violence and attacks targeting United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) personnel.”

“It also implies the necessary attribution of accountability for those crimes, starting with the deliberate and reprehensible attacks against the civilian population and vital infrastructure. Those crimes should be tried within the Libyan justice system and, in a complementary manner, by the International Criminal Court. In conclusion, Peru reiterates its firm support for the efforts aimed at preventing further fragmentation of the country and, through a political solution, at returning to the path on which progress had been made following the tireless efforts of Special Representative Salame, to whom we reiterate our strongest support.”

“One need only observe - with alarm - the recent offloading of armoured vehicles at a Tripoli port. These are situations that serve only to prolong the conflict, to the detriment of the direct interests of the civilian population. Most of Libya's current revenues are mostly directed towards weapons purchases. In that context, and faced with the forced displacement of tens of thousands of people and hundreds of deaths, we emphasize the responsibility of the Council to protect the civilian population from the occurrence of atrocious crimes. That implies, among other things, ensuring mandatory compliance with the provisions of international humanitarian law in all conflicts, including the Libyan conflict, without distinction or double standards.”

“As such, we believe that the institution of an immediate and unconditional ceasefire and the return to the dialogue table are priorities. It is clear that the aggressive rhetoric and individual interests must be transformed into concrete measures for the welfare and protection of the civilian population. To that end, the support of the international community is necessary, especially that of the countries with the ability to influence the parties, while transcending strategic and economic considerations and avoiding the power vacuum that terrorist and extremist groups have taken advantage of, as mentioned by the Special Representative and other delegations. We are particularly troubled by the manifest violations of the arms embargo in ungoverned territory.”

“Mr. Ugarelli (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We thank you, Mr. President, for convening today's meeting. We also thank Mr. Ghassan Salame, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya; Ambassador Juergen Schulz, Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1970 (2011) concerning Libya; and Mr. Smai'l Chergui, African Union Commissioner for Peace and Security, for their excellent briefings. Peru reiterates its deep concern about the armed conflict ravaging Libya, which claims lives every day and is causing tragic humanitarian consequences and having a devastating effect on the country's economy. Given the situation, there is no better alternative than immediately devising a political solution, in line with the progress made at the Abu Dhabi conference.”

“We underscore that essentially that means preserving the ceasefire brokered by Turkey and Russia last September and a renewed commitment by all parties, and in particular the Syrian Government, to the political settlement process promoted by the United Nations, on the basis of resolution 2254 (2015) and the Geneva communique (S/2012/522, annex). We believe that it is crucial that the Astana guarantors and other countries with influence over the Syrian Government and the opposition contribute to that goal by fostering a climate of moderation, calm, dialogue and commitment to peace and the future of the country and its people.”

“We also emphasize the importance of meeting the needs ofhundreds ofthousands ofinternally displaced persons registered in recent months, mainly from northern Hama and southern Idlib, who are in precarious temporary shelters in areas close to the Turkish border. Given the delicate circumstances that bring us all here today, we urge the Syrian Government and all actors in the conflict to prevent further deterioration of the situation and Idlib from again becoming a stage for horror and destabilization, in particular when the lives of millions of civilians are at stake.”

“We underscore that such acts are flagrant violations of international law and, because of their intentionality and impact on civilians, can and should be classified as war crimes. They are also a violation of the provisions of various Security Council resolutions, such as resolution 2286 (2016). We therefore hope that such reprehensible acts will be the subject of exhaustive investigations that will identify and duly punish those responsible. We are also alarmed that the upsurge in violence appears to be exacerbating the extreme vulnerability of millions of women and children in the area, which leads us to highlight the responsibility of the Council to protect them.”

“Mr. Ugarelli (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We thank you, Mr. President, for convening today's meeting, and the briefers for the valuable information they provided. We follow with deep regret and concern yet another escalation of violence in Idlib and other areas in north- western Syria, as a result of intense air strikes that do not discriminate between combatants and civilians. Peru strongly condemns terrorism and believes that the terrorist groups in Idlib and other areas of Syria must be brought to justice. We also acknowledge the need to safeguard Syria's sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity. However, we underscore that in no case does that justify the commission of additional attacks on civilians and medical facilities, medical personnel and essential health infrastructure.”

“We call on all countries that have training centres to continue to contribute to the strengthening of those key capacities and the joint task ofinvesting in peace.”

“We believe that similar approaches could be applied to police and civilian involvement in peace operations. We also consider it important to link such efforts with the experience of other continents in order to generate synergies of greater scope. In addition, we believe that it is crucial to complement those positive practices with the involvement of civil society organizations, such as research centres, think tanks and universities, with which partnerships and cooperation agreements should be developed. In conclusion, I would like to recall that, as the Minister for Defence of Peru announced at the Peacekeeping Ministerial held on 29 March, Peru will host the twenty-fifth Annual Conference of the International Association of Peacekeeping Training Centres, to be held in October.”

“As co-Chair of the Informal Expert Group on Women and Peace and Security, we recognize the importance of raising the awareness of uniformed personnel with regard to the special protection and empowerment needs of women in conflict and post- conflict situations. In achieving those objectives, we believe it is useful to share the important synergies that exist in Latin America. They are not limited to bilateral relations, through exchanges of officials and instructors or lessons learned on doctrine and course design, but are in fact multilateral, thanks to the creation of ALCOPAZ, our Latin American association of peace operations training centres, which is aimed at mutual integration and cooperation. It is currently chaired by Peru and continues to strengthen its links and capacity in various technical areas.”

“They include the specifics of mandates and the tasks to be implemented on the ground, which means that the Council's resolutions should establish clear mandates and achievable objectives in operational terms; individual missions' specific tasks, such as the protection of civilians and the protection of critical infrastructure, strategies for ex-combatants' disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, security-sector reform and demining operations; international humanitarian law and human rights, with a particular focus on combating sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeeping personnel, who must sign and implement the voluntary compact on preventing and addressing sexual exploitation and abuse; capacity-building and integration projects in host societies, with a View to building relationships of respect and trust with the people; the use of new and appropriate technologies, which can contribute substantially to peacekeepers' security and fulfilment of their mandates, particularly with regard to the protection of civilians; and, lastly, a strengthened focus on gender.”

“This difficult scenario requires an adequate response from States in terms of training, and that means going beyond a model of general preparation towards a more specialized one that takes into account the specific characteristics of the environment where the personnel will be deployed and the specific tasks that the Council will require of them. In our View it is also crucial to provide training in a number of other areas.”

“The troops deployed to missions are operating in increasingly hostile environments and dealing with many different kinds of non-State actors, including insurgent groups, terrorists and organized criminals, which makes their work extremely complex and risky. They must therefore be given the specialized training they need to enable them to carry out their mandates successfully. In that regard we note with concern the frequent attacks on Blue Helmets, and we pay tribute to those who have lost their lives in the execution of their duties.”

“Mr. Ugarelli (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We welcome the convening of this meeting and your presence here today in presiding over our meeting, Madam President. We thank the Secretary-General and the briefers for their valuable statements. We believe it is essential for troop- and police-contributing countries to participate actively in the institutional reforms and changes aimed at making peacekeeping operations more efficient, just as we believe that it is the Security Council's job to provide the troops participating in those operations with clear and precise mandates. We believe that for this analysis to be productive it is essential to diagnose the many challenges and difficulties currently facing peace operations.”

“In only five years, the conflict has claimed the lives of more than 3,300 civilians and injured more than 9,000 people and has destroyed critical civilian infrastructure. As noted by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, more than 5.2 million people are affected by the conflict and more than 3.5 million require humanitarian assistance, in addition to more than 1.6 million internally displaced persons. I conclude by reiterating our commitment to the independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, including its Government's control of the conflict area, in line with the Charter of the United Nations and the Minsk agreements.”

“In that connection, we welcome the continued efforts being made under the Normandy format and the Trilateral Contact Group to facilitate dialogue between the parties in line with the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes. Similarly, we acknowledge the role of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Special Monitoring Mission, which between January and March alone reported more than 83,000 ceasefire violations. We reiterate the need for the parties to honour their commitments and comply with that provision, as well as the removal of heavy artillery and mines, which are often in populated areas. The civilian population, particularly women, children, the elderly and those living on either side of the line of contact, continue to be the main victims of the conflict.”

“Furthermore, we note the recent adoption by the Ukrainian Parliament of a law to strengthen the use of the Ukrainian language, which could affect the rights of linguistic minorities in the country, such as the ones in those regions. For Peru, the Minsk agreements continue to be the legal basis for reaching a political solution to end the conflict in eastern Ukraine. In that respect, we reiterate our support for the package of measures for their full implementation, which the Council endorsed more than four years ago. In that regard, we call on all the parties and stakeholders concerned to fully implement the commitments of the agreements, while refraining from measures that impede their implementation, exacerbate tensions and prevent resumption of the necessary dialogue.”

“Mr. Ugarelli (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): We welcome the convening of this meeting at the request of the delegation of Ukraine and are grateful for the informative briefings, which provide the Council with a complete picture of the current situation in the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. We also welcome the presence of the Permanent Representative of Ukraine and, through him, congratulate President Volodymyr Zelensky on his recent election. We express our concern about the recent Russian decree allowing for the expeditious granting of Russian nationality to residents of certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, bearing in mind that they are occupied by separatist groups.”

“Similarly, as we look ahead to the tenth NPT Review Conference, we believe that this regime can be strengthened only by reducing the nuclear arsenals that remain, which is why we urge nuclear-weapon States to comply with article VI of the NPT and take concrete measures. Peru hopes to see points of convergence in well-known areas of disagreement. In that regard, we deplore the suspension of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and urge both countries to resume a dialogue with a view to overcoming their differences and achieving agreements based on the principles of irreversibility, verifiability and transparency. In conclusion, I want to reaffirm our strong commitment and resolute support to ensuring the success of the forthcoming NPT Review Conference.”

“Peru affirms the inalienable right of all States to conduct research on, produce and use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. In that regard, we support the work that the IAEA has been doing in the implementation of safeguards and verification mechanisms for the use of nuclear energy. With respect to nuclear disarmament, it is imperative that we begin negotiations that will lead to a fissile-material cut-off treaty. In that connection, we especially call on nuclear-weapon States to break the deadlock in the Conference on Disarmament with a view to immediately taking up negotiations on a non-discriminatory and verifiable treaty.”

“We hope that one day all countries, especially those with nuclear arsenals, will accede to it. In our view, this legally binding instrument strengthens and complements the current disarmament and non-proliferation regimes, particularly as it contributes to the implementation of article VI of the NPT, on the reduction of such weapons. In recent years we have observed with concern the challenges that have arisen to the non-proliferation regimes, especially that of nuclear weapons, which pose the most serious threat to international peace and security in our current circumstances. We will continue to seek unity in the Council in our response to such challenges, such as those we have seen in the nuclear and ballistic-missile programmes of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.”

“There is no better way to eliminate the risk posed by weapons of mass destruction than by ending their existence. In that regard, we support the preparations leading up to the tenth Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), to be held next year. Peru maintains its firm position in support of the full implementation of the three pillars of the NPT and emphasizes the importance of achieving its universality. We therefore urge the nuclear-weapon States to fulfil their commitments under article VI of the Treaty and make progress towards the total destruction of those weapons, thereby eliminating their effect on humankind. In our understanding of and commitment to that goal, we participated actively in the adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and have signed it.”

“Mr. Ugarelli (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): Peru welcomes the convening of this meeting to focus the world's attention on the need to address the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, especially nuclear weapons. We also welcome the presence of the authorities who are with us today and thank Mrs. Izumi Nakamitsu, High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, and Mr. Yukiya Amano, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), for their important briefings. Throughout its history, the Security Council has remained united in the fight against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, in fulfilment of its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security under the Charter of the United Nations.”
