  1. To conclude, I would like to emphasize the central role of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. Indeed, the Convention provides all States with a basis for the establishment of a solid legal framework in the areas of prevention, punishment, reparation and non-repetition of enforced disappearances and provides for mutual legal assistance mechanisms between States. It should be noted that the Convention is still young, with 62 States parties and 98 signatories to date. Therefore, we invite States to cooperate on moving towards its universalization.

  2. As the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence has pointed out, in order to provide effective reparation to victims it is essential to establish appropriate systems of redress. In that regard, the National Commission on the Enforced Disappearance of Persons has recommended the adoption of the necessary laws so that the relatives of disappeared persons may receive economic assistance. At present, a set of laws is in force that provides for economic reparation for the serious violations committed during the dictatorship. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Argentina provides important assistance to those applying for benefits under those laws in completing the necessary formalities at consular offices.

  3. Many relatives, unable to obtain justice in local courts, went to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which ruled on the obligation of the State to punish those responsible. A decade later, the National Congress declared the due obedience and full stop laws null and void, and the Supreme Court of Justice declared them unconstitutional, which led to the formal reopening of more than 1,000 legal cases. According to information provided by the Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes against Humanity, from 2006 to 2019 238 sentences were handed down for acts committed during the last civilian-military dictatorship. There are currently 21 cases in oral proceedings; 70 cases are scheduled for oral proceedings; and 260 cases are before the court of first instance.

  4. The following year, the National Court of Appeals in Federal Criminal and Correctional Matters handed down a sentence in December 1985 condemning the members of the military boards that ruled the country to life imprisonment. The passing of the due obedience and full stop laws in 1987 and the pardons issued in the 1990s to those who had been convicted made it impossible to continue with the ongoing trials regarding serious violations of human rights. In parallel, the so-called trials for truth took place, which were judicial proceedings initiated with the objective of determining the fate or whereabouts of missing persons. The inter-American human rights system played a central role in strengthening the right to the truth in our country and in the region.

  5. Serious human rights violations against society were committed through the repressive actions of the armed and security forces, within the framework of a de facto dictatorial Government. Since constitutional order was restored in December 1983, the Argentine State has carried out ongoing work to comply with its international obligations in the area of human rights. One of the first decisions of the democratic Government was the establishment of the National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons, which that took concrete measures to recognize the right to the truth in order to clarify the facts related to the forced disappearance of persons.

  6. Secondly, it is important to take into account human rights and transitional justice aspects in peace processes. And, thirdly, it is crucial to coordinate disarmament, demobilization and reintegration initiatives with the processes and mechanisms of transitional justice, so that they can positively reinforce one another. Within the framework of this open debate, we would like to briefly share some aspects of the Argentine transitional justice experience, which is the result of a post-dictatorial process and not of a post-conflict context. We consider it important to issue that disclaimer. What happened in my country’s recent past was not an armed conflict.

  7. Mr. Verdier (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the Government of Belgium for the initiative to organize this debate, as well as for the special emphasis placed on addressing the issue of transitional justice using an approach that takes into account its four components: truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-repetition — one based on the premise that there can be no single transition justice model that is applicable to all cases. According to the guidance note, transitional justice is considered from a rights-based perspective and provides three ways to continue strengthening the activities of the United Nations in this area. First, we must seek to take into account the root causes of a repressive conflict or Government and combat violations of all rights, including economic, social and cultural rights.

  8. Only by working towards a humanitarian approach to development and peace will we see lasting results in ensuring respect for human rights and the successful reintegration of all children.

    2019-08-02 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8591 (2019) · source

  9. In that regard, in line with resolution 2475 (2019) on the protection of persons with disabilities in armed conflict, adopted in June, we endorse the Secretary-General's call in his report regarding the importance of reintegration being focused on the specific needs of children, including children with disabilities. To conclude, it is crucial that we consider concrete actions to fulfil the cross-cutting principle of leaving no one behind. Argentina reiterates the imperative need to agree on and implement measures with a view to increasing the pressure from the international community on State and non-State actors who commit violations against children. Such efforts should be carried out within the framework of absolute respect for international humanitarian law, international human rights law and refugee law.

  10. Virginia Gamba, and that of the Global Coalition for the Reintegration of Former Child Soldiers, for their important initiative, which provides us with a renewed and broader understanding of reintegration, not only in terms of the immediate provision of humanitarian assistance but also as a long- term commitment to ensuring that child reintegration programmes are future-oriented, involve all stakeholders in society and are focused on the specific needs of children. It should be noted that persons with disabilities, especially children, are among the most marginalized in any community affected by any crisis.

  11. In that regard, we call on all parties to put an immediate end to grave violations against children, encourage the implementation of all necessary measures aimed at preventing such violations, ensure due accountability for the perpetrators and provide children with appropriate humanitarian assistance to meet their needs, rooted in a human rights-based approach that recognizes children as victims of these grave violations. We also wish to highlight and express our support for the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ms.

  12. Moreover, we wish to express our strongest condemnation of the record levels of murders and maiming of children in 2018, as well as cases of sexual violence and attacks on schools and hospitals, all ofwhich have had devastating consequences on children. Argentina has been an active and strong advocate ofthe Oslo Safe Schools Declaration since its inception, in the understanding that education is fundamental for the development and full enjoyment of human rights. Continuous access to safe education constitutes an essential protection mechanism for children and young people in armed conflicts, helping them to reach their potential and contributing to the building of stronger communities.

  13. Mr. Verdier (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): We congratulate Poland on having assumed the presidency of the Security Council and organized this debate on a very topical issue. We are also grateful for the briefings delivered by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Virginia Gamba; the Executive Director of the UNICEF, Ms. Henrietta Fore; as well as Ms. Mariatu Kamara and Mr. Majok Peter Awan. We also extend our appreciation to the Secretary- General for his latest report (S/2019/509). In that regard, we share his grave concern at the alarming increase registered in 2018 in the number of serious violations of children's rights committed by State actors in the context of the intensification of armed conflicts and their changing dynamics.

  14. In that regard, together with more than 80 countries, we joined the voluntary compact on preventing and addressing sexual exploitation and abuse. In conclusion, I would like to underscore the important role of the Safe Schools Declaration, which is an initiative led by Norway and Argentina. We invite States to endorse that non-binding instrument, which recognizes the various obstacles that affect education during armed conflicts and establishes commitments to improving the protection provided to students, educational institutions and their staff.

    2019-04-23 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8514 (2019) · source

  15. We highly value that mechanism's partnership with UN-Women, which ensures the inclusion of gender specialists in the investigation of crimes. At the national level, in 2009, we adopted a comprehensive protection law to prevent, punish and eradicate Violence against women. In 2016, we launched a national action plan for prevention, assistance and the eradication of violence against women, which reflected the resolute will of the executive branch to establish as State policy the fulfilment of the right of all persons to live a life free from violence. At the international level, we reiterate our commitment to the zero- tolerance policy of the United Nations with regard to cases of sexual exploitation and abuse.

    2019-04-23 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8514 (2019) · source

  16. We believe that one of the key ways to prevent sexual violence is by addressing the risk factors and underlying conditions that put women and various other groups in particularly vulnerable situations, while actions and efforts aimed at promoting gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in all their diversity are equally important. With regard to access to justice and accountability for crimes of sexual violence, it is crucial to promote greater cooperation and exchanges of good practices in research and legal assistance. Argentina is a member of the Justice Rapid Response international cooperation mechanism, which does important work in investigating international crimes professionally and impartially.

  17. The increasing use and threats of sexual violence by various State and non-State armed actors and groups against particular groups are deeply serious international crimes that must be prevented and sanctioned within a strict legal framework that makes use of existing tools and mechanisms, including the Security Council's sanctions regimes, which should include sexual violence as a specific criterion for imposing sanctions and referring cases to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.

    2019-04-23 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8514 (2019) · source

  18. Argentina continues to strongly support the efforts of the Secretary-General and the Office of the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict. We welcome the Secretary-General's latest report (S/2019/280) and fully share his recommendations that all State and non-State parties make specific commitments aimed at preventing and combating conflict-related sexual Violence, while also strengthening prevention by supporting efforts designed to ensure criminal responsibility for perpetrators and access to justice for survivors.

  19. Mr. Verdier (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): We would particularly like to thank your country, Mr. President, for convening today's debate. Argentina aligns itself with the statement just delivered by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security, and I would like to add a few remarks in my national capacity. At the outset, we welcome the positive efforts that States, the United Nations, intergovernmental organizations and local and international civil society have made in recent years to prevent and respond to sexual violence. In that regard, Argentina welcomes the Council's adoption just a few minutes ago of resolution 2467 (2019). However, we regret the text's shortcomings on some matters of importance to my country.

    2019-04-23 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8514 (2019) · source

  20. We are pleased to note that, since the previous open debate of the Security Council on the issue (see S/PV.8082), in October 2017, we have endorsed the Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers, and co-sponsored today's resolution 2427 (2018). In conclusion, Argentina reiterates once again the urgent need for the international community to agree and implement measures to increase pressure on State and non-State actors that commit violations against children so as to demobilize, disassociate, rehabilitate and reintegrate children associated with such groups, in cooperation with their respective communities within the framework of absolute respect for international humanitarian law, international human rights law and refugee law.

  21. In that regard, I would like to express our appreciation and firm support for the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Virginia Gamba, and express our gratitude for the report of the Secretary-General (S/2018/465). We share the deep concern about the significant increase in the number of violations recorded in 2017 by State actors and non-State actors alike as part of the intensification and changing dynamics of armed conflicts. In that regard, Argentina reaffirms its unwavering commitment to all initiatives to prevent, avoid and halt serious Violations of children's rights in armed conflicts.

  22. In conclusion, we reiterate our call on all Member States, and particularly on all members of the Council, to recognize the Declaration as a tool to protect children and to join the Safe Schools Declaration community by endorsing and implementing the Declaration. I shall now deliver a few brief remarks in my national capacity as representative of Argentina. (spoke in Spanish) Argentina would like to thank the Government of Sweden in particular for organizing this open debate and its work at the helm of the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict. We also are grateful for the briefings by Special Representative Virginia Gamba, Executive Director Fore and Ms. Londofio.

  23. We take this opportunity to express our special appreciation for the Secretary General's support for the Safe Schools Declaration. At the same time, we note the analysis of the report by Human Rights Watch, which demonstrates that there has been a global decrease in the military use of schools. The report shows that, among the States that have endorsed the Declaration, the military use of schools has decreased significantly, by almost 50 per cent on average since 2015. We are encouraged that the Declaration makes such a difference on the ground and that endorsing States are implementing it. However, among States that have not endorsed the Declaration, military uses of schools have actually increased.

  24. We welcome the announcement made by Spain that it will host the third Conference on Safe Schools in 2019, and look forward to seeing all Member States represented there. We take note of the latest report of the Secretary- General on children and armed conflict (S/2018/465) and wish to convey our profound concern about the ongoing grave violations against children in conflict, including threats, attacks and the military use of educational infrastructure, which leave children vulnerable. We therefore echo the report's recommendation for all States to endorse the Safe Schools Declaration - a call that has also been made by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Virginia Gamba, as well as the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

    2018-07-09 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8305 (2018) · source

  25. Since the first International Conference on Safe Schools was held in Oslo in 2015, 76 States have endorsed the Safe Schools Declaration. We welcome Djibouti, Mali, the United Kingdom, Germany and Peru, which all recently endorsed the Declaration to join the Safe Schools community. At the Buenos Aires Conference in March 2017, representatives from States, international organizations and civil society had the opportunity to share experiences, raise awareness, and exchange expertise in an effort to find practical solutions to the real problems faced by students and teachers in conflict situations. Numerous States shared examples of implementation that demonstrated the Declaration's tangible impact, highlighted in the Conference's outcome report.

  26. The Safe Schools Declaration is an intergovernmental political commitment aimed at protecting and continuing education during armed conflict. It includes a pledge to implement the Guidelines for Protecting Schools and Universities from Military Use during Armed Conflict. Education is not just a human right but an essential protection mechanism for children living in conflict, helping them to reach their potential and contribute to building stronger, more resilient and more peaceful communities. Continued access to safe education can help protect children and young people from the worst effects of armed conflict and can also help to prevent the emergence of new conflicts, while protecting the education sector as far as possible from the effects of war can also help countries recover in the post-conflict phase.

  27. I have the honour to take the floor on behalf of the following States, which have endorsed the Safe Schools Declaration: Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Jamaica, Kenya, Lebanon, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, the State of Palestine, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, Yemen and my own country, Argentina. We welcome the holding of today's open debate on "Protecting children today to prevent conflicts tomorrow", organized by Sweden, given the urgency of ending the vicious cycle of conflicts and protecting children from their effects.

  28. Argentina reiterates its commitment to the Organization's zero-tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse, as well as its support for the measures adopted by the Secretary-General on the issue. Argentina, together with 80 countries, signed the voluntary compact on preventing and addressing sexual exploitation and abuse. In conclusion, I would like to recall that General Assembly resolution 69/293 designates 19 June as the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. We encourage all Member States, entities of the United Nations system and other international and regional organizations, as well as civil society and other relevant actors, to participate in the activities to mark the Day. The meeting rose at 6.15 pm.

  29. Preventing sexual violence in conflict must begin by building more peaceful societies. That can be achieved only through equality. In keeping with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we can leave no one behind. There is no peace without inclusion or justice. Societies with a climate of impunity perpetuate Violence. Argentina takes a comprehensive view of peace in which gender equity and equality permeate all public policy. It works to achieve social transformation geared towards gender equality, which is a sine qua non for strengthening democracy. Our priority for gender policy is the elimination of violence against women. In that regard, gender reforms have been implemented in the defence and security sector.

    2018-04-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8234 (2018) · source

  30. We must ensure that experts on gender, gender-based violence and sexual violence are included in the various United Nations missions and mediation teams. We must also include specific provisions and commitments when brokering peace agreements and ceasefires and ensure that more women participate in peacekeeping forces. We believe that the development of national plans to implement resolution 1325 (2000) must be viewed as a tool for building peace and preventing sexual violence in all areas. That spirit encouraged our country to join the Women, Peace and Security Focal Points Network and the Group of Friends on Women, Peace and Security in Geneva. It also joined the Elsie Initiative on Women in Peace Operations, spearheaded by Canada, which aims to increase the number of women in peacekeeping operations.

    2018-04-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8234 (2018) · source

  31. It is therefore essential to protect, assist and reintegrate all victims of such violations by working with women's organizations and other civil society organizations to provide services, aid and gender-inclusive multisectoral and multidisciplinary support and compensation, meet needs and protect the dignity and human rights of the victims. Those elements must be taken into consideration when designing the mandates of peacekeeping operations, special political and peacebuilding missions, pursuant to resolution 1325 (2000). The goal is to ensure the inclusion of women in equal conditions and their access to significant decision-making positions so as to secure their seats at the negotiating table.

    2018-04-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8234 (2018) · source

  32. With regard to access to justice and accountability for crimes of sexual violence, it is crucial to build documentation and investigation capacity and foster greater cooperation, information-sharing and good practices in the areas of investigation, documentation, location, assistance for the victims, extradition and legal aid in order to end the climate of impunity that contributes to the proliferation of such crimes. With regard to crimes of sexual violence, we reiterate that victims must be at the core of our prevention, eradication and accountability efforts.

    2018-04-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8234 (2018) · source

  33. Preventing and combating sexual violence in conflict should be at the forefront of all prevention, peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts undertaken by the United Nations and by the international community, as a whole. One of the key ways to prevent the scourge is to address the risks and underlying factors that make women and certain groups particularly vulnerable to sexual violence. Such factors include, inter alia, structural discrimination, gender-based violence and a climate of insecurity and impunity. Efforts and initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, in all their diversity, are also important.

    2018-04-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8234 (2018) · source

  34. We must put the victims of such crimes at the heart of our actions and pool our efforts to address the structural and underlying conditions that increase the victims' vulnerability and risk. The growing use and threat of sexual violence perpetrated by various State and non-State armed actors and groups against specific groups - women, children, minorities, people who have or are perceived as having a sexual orientation or gender identity other than that of the norm, among others - constitute the most serious international crimes and must be prevented and punished in strict compliance with the law by making use of available tools and mechanisms, including the sanctions regimes of the Council.

  35. Argentina continues to strongly support the efforts of the Secretary-General and the Office of the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict. We also thank the Secretary-General for his most recent report (S/2018/250), and we fully endorse its recommendations aimed at preventing, combating and eliminating all forms of sexual violence in armed conflicts, with a special focus on addressing issues related to prevention, early warning, contributing factors and rapid responses in the face of the occurrence of such crimes. Sexual violence in conflict is one of the most horrific and abhorrent violations of human dignity, and poses a singular and undeniable threat to international peace and security. We must therefore redouble our commitment to prevention, eradication and accountability with regard to such crimes.

  36. Mr. Verdier (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): Argentina aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. We would like to share with the Council the following considerations in our national capacity. First of all, I would like to thank the Government of Peru for taking the initiative of organizing this debate and for presiding over it throughout the day. We also thank the Deputy Secretary-General and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict for their briefings, and Ms. Razia Sultana for her courageous testimony on behalf of the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security.

    2018-04-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8234 (2018) · source

  37. We take note of the re-establishment of the country's armed formed forces in line with the sovereign decisions taken by the Haitian Government on security- and defence-related issues. We are confident that it will not jeopardize the effective implementation of the strategic development plan of the National Police. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate Argentina's commitment to the Haitian people and to acknowledge the work of the police and civilian personnel of MINUJUSTH in fulfilment of its noble mission of assisting Haiti on its path to sustainable peace and development.

    2018-04-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8220 (2018) · source

  38. In that regard, we underscore the efforts made by Haitian authorities, together with MINUJUSTH, to achieve lasting stability and improve the country's future. For example, considerable progress has been made in the fight against cholera, which should continue with the aim of eradicating the disease. We thank Special Envoy Josette Sheeran for marshalling the resources necessary, in particular through the Haiti Cholera Response Multi-Partner Trust Fund, to which our country contributed. In addition to continuing its bilateral cooperation, Argentina will continue to provide trained police personnel to the Mission, to the extent possible and based on specific requirements stipulated in the Secretary-General's transition strategy and the strategic development plan of the Haitian National Police for 2017-2021.

    2018-04-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8220 (2018) · source

  39. Argentina underscores the fact that, when developing exit strategy benchmarks, it is important to harmonize the Mission's initiatives with the relevant elements ofthe United Nations Development Assistance Framework 2017-2021, while taking into account Haiti's efforts to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in particular Sustainable Development Goal 16. Argentina highlights the progress made in implementing the Mission's important mandate, including assisting Haiti consolidating rule-of- law institutions, strengthening and fostering the professional development of the Haitian National Police and promoting and protecting human rights in the country, in spite of myriad ongoing challenges.

    2018-04-03 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.8220 (2018) · source

  40. Since the inception of the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), we have stressed the fact that, above and beyond pre-set deadlines, the transition of the Mission to a United Nations presence of another kind must be based on the gradual fulfilment of its mandate in response to the situation on the ground. That would prevent the Mission's premature withdrawal, which could jeopardize all efforts made in the past 14 years. We also understand that the Mission should review the transition process in close cooperation with the Government of Haiti, while respecting its principles and priorities and taking into consideration the principle of national responsibility in the peacebuilding process.

  41. Mr. Verdier (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, let me congratulate the delegation of the Netherlands on the way in which it guided the work of the Security Council in March. We very much welcome the fact that Peru is presiding over the work of the Council, and we wish it every success. We thank you, Sir, for convening today's debate. We also thank Under- Secretary-General Jean-Pierre Lacroix for his briefing earlier today. Argentina aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Haiti and would like to add the following brief remarks. Argentina welcomes the most recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2018/241), which refers in particular to the development of a benchmarked exit strategy.
