  1. “That is why it is vital to ensure that the process of documenting human rights violations resulting from this conflict is carried out, as it will provide the information necessary to determine the form and type of reparations needed. This war of aggression’s effects, and the restoration of justice in Ukraine, pose new challenges to us as an international community. Facing those challenges as we search for the best possible solution requires solidarity from all of us.”

  2. “We firmly believe that the Court is the most appropriate body to hear and investigate all crimes committed in Ukraine under its jurisdiction, while always bearing in mind the principles of complementarity and cooperation. We believe it is preferable to strengthen our current international and national accountability mechanisms, which would contribute to legitimizing the current international jurisdictional structure. We should consider current transitional justice practices, which would undoubtedly help to establish a more specific and effective path for the Ukrainian situation. Transitional justice places victims and survivors at the centre of the solution and is always focused on preventing any repeat violations of human rights and addressing the root causes of the conflict that gave rise to them.”

  3. “The decision was communicated by the United Kingdom on 2 March 2022, on behalf of 39 States parties to the Rome Statute. The main goal of this action is to initiate an independent and impartial investigation of the events, with a view to holding those responsible accountable and meting out appropriate punishment in the light of international criminal law. At this particularly difficult time, when the whole world is feeling the effects of a conflict between States, Chile would like to reaffirm its support for the general mandate of the International Criminal Court, as well as the need to maintain the conditions needed to enable it to act effectively and impartially.”

  4. “As a founding Member of the United Nations and in full compliance with the Charter of the United Nations and international law, Chile reiterates its commitment to the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Once again, Chile expresses its complete rejection and condemnation of war crimes perpetrated on Ukrainian territory, under the control of Russian forces, which have been made known to the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry in Ukraine. Our ongoing commitment to international humanitarian law and to the international protection of human rights led Chile to convey to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court its decision to join other States in referring the situation in Ukraine to the Court.”

  5. “Mr. Van Klaveren (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations, which governs international coexistence, establishes the obligation on States to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, to resolve disputes by peaceful means and to comply, in good faith, with the obligations they undertake. Within that context, the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of every State Member of the United Nations, including Ukraine, must be respected and protected. General Assembly resolution 3314 (XXIX), of 1974, defines aggression and stipulates, in article 5, that “a war of aggression is a crime against international peace”.”

  6. “Its institutional and economic reconstruction requires political will on the part of an international community committed to the challenges, dreams, and hopes of 10 million Haitians, who aspire to live in conditions of dignity and liberty. Chile will continue to make all the necessary efforts in order to realize those lofty goals.”

  7. “Haiti is beginning a new phase in which the continued presence of the United Nations will play a key role in the consolidation of the democratic regime and of lasting peace. Haiti offers the United Nations a symbolic opportunity to implement the new institutions agreed to under the reform and that seek to incorporate socio- economic dimensions as essential elements of a sustainable solution to the crisis. That is a response to the demands of a modern-day and effective multilateralism. The case of Haiti must be among the first to be considered by the Peacebuilding Commission. The effort that the Haitian people are responsibly making demands renewed solidarity.”

  8. “The reform, modernization and strengthening of the judicial and penal system is also an urgent task that requires technical and financial assistance to the institutions supporting the rule of law. That is essential in order to guarantee absolute respect for human rights, an end to impunity and compliance with the norms of due process. Likewise, we urge the new Haitian authorities to implement an effective policy for the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of all armed groups. That is, of course, dependent on the establishment of security guarantees and on the creation of jobs that can help to meet the basic needs of those who lay down their arms and of their families. The progress made in the process of achieving an inclusive democratic transition is for us cause for optimism.”

  9. “Our country has also made additional efforts to increase the capabilities of our helicopters, equipping them with the gear necessary for nocturnal flights in order to improve surveillance capacity, which was a very important factor in the electoral process. The Chile battalion, which is assigned to Cap Haitien, has done effective work to ensure the security of the local population. We consider it vital to contribute to the improvement of the national police, so that it can be consolidated as a professional, depoliticized entity. In that connection, we deem it relevant to consider the establishment of an international police academy headquartered in Port-au-Prince, whose main goal would be to train police officers specializing in post- conflict work.”

  10. “To do that, it will be essential to disburse, with flexibility and urgency, all the funds committed to the Interim Cooperation Framework, as well as to increase local and foreign investment and to generate new sources of employment, particularly for young people. In this new phase, MINUSTAH must continue to support the Haitian authorities so as to maintain a safe and stable environment in the country. It will also be essential to continue to support actions that facilitate the comprehensive reconstruction process. During that entire time, Chile has focused its cooperation on concrete development objectives. We have contributed a corps of engineers, which includes Ecuadorian personnel, that is working on the installation of a mechanical bridge at Grand-Goave.”

  11. “Here, we wish to reaffirm that commitment in the conviction that the Haitian people now have the possibility of controlling their own destiny. That depends on two basic conditions. First, Haitian society must renounce all forms of violence, and more forums must be created on a daily basis for an inclusive dialogue to promote understanding among the various political and social sectors. That is the way to begin institutional reforms that will make it possible to lay the foundations for good government and sustainable economic development. Secondly, the international community must contribute development programmes aimed primarily at fighting extreme poverty, chronic diseases, the lack of infrastructure and environmental degradation.”

  12. “That is undoubtedly a priority objective so that the President-elect can promptly assume his duties as the leader of Haiti. The holding of municipal and local elections to establish provincial governments will also make it possible to strengthen the country's democratic institutions. It has now been more than two years since Chile, aware that it was imperative to avoid a humanitarian tragedy and responding promptly to the call made by the Security Council, was incorporated into the multinational interim force and immediately joined MINUSTAH. We did so with the understanding that only a comprehensive and multidimensional peacekeeping operation would make possible the country's political, social and economic rehabilitation.”

  13. “We also wish to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ambassador Juan Gabriel Valdes, for his comprehensive briefing and for his efforts at the head of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). The holding of the elections, with the efficient efforts and support of the Organization of American States, attests to the commitment of the Haitian people to the democratic political process, the establishment of the rule of law and the promotion of national reconciliation, which are the only means to achieve long-term stability. If the electoral process is to conclude successfully, it is necessary to ensure that the second round of parliamentary elections is carried out under equally democratic conditions and in a timely manner.”

  14. “Mr. van Klaveren (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): The delegation of Chile wishes to thank the Argentine Republic, in particular the President of the Security Council, Minister Jorge Taiana, for the initiative to convene this open debate on a subject that is important for the region and arouses the interest of the international community. We value in particular the presence of Mr. Rene Garcia Preval, President-elect of Haiti, whom we recently welcomed to Chile for the swearing-in of President Michelle Bachelet. We express once again our sincerest congratulations to the Haitian people on the election results of 7 February.”
