1. “This is in contrast to four years of efforts at the United Nations and in the international community to bring stability to that country. It is enough to point out that it is very disturbing to see that opium cultivation represents 60 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) of Afghanistan. No State can be in a position to function in a stable manner when it must face such a huge challenge. As we have seen in other regions of the world, crime, corruption and drug trafficking are activities that go hand in hand. When we fail to halt them in time with coherent policies, they seriously affect security, the development of democratic institutions, economic reconstruction, the rule of law and human rights. Measures designed to improve civil security are necessary but insufficient conditions.”

2. “There are many problems that are facing Afghanistan and endangering its viability as an emerging nation, a nation integrated constructively within the region. The difficult transition in this country does not only generate a situation of crisis within its territory but also raises the risk of instability at the regional level. The intensification of the extremist insurgency, led by the Taliban, and the increasing insecurity in the southern and eastern parts of Afghanistan endanger the new institutions in this country. Narco-trafficking, corruption and crime in general provide fertile ground for the activities of illegal armed groups. I am not going to repeat figures that we find in the mission's report, in the report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, and in other international studies with which we are all familiar.”

3. “The report on the Security Council's mission acknowledges a few encouraging advances in infrastructure, true economic and trade progress, as well as in basic social services. However, it also confirms that the situation is basically fragile in Afghanistan as this year comes to an end. Despite the optimism generated by the adoption of the Compact last January, the reality presents a picture where the political and social order faces serious threats that endanger what has been achieved until now. The Afghan authorities have made efforts in order to find a way out of the crisis. However, as the report says, these efforts until now have been insufficient in consolidating the rule of law or establishing firm governance with prospects of Viable economic sustainability.”

4. “Mr. Voto-Bernales (Peru)(spoke in Spanish): First of all, I would like to express the gratitude of the delegation of Peru for the work done by the Security Council mission to Afghanistan, led by the Ambassador of Japan, Mr. Kenzo Oshima, and I would like to thank him for the report he has given us this morning. We believe that the work that was done by the mission, which is condensed in the report he presented to us, is useful in order to understand the situation on the ground. In this way, the Security Council has news of the process in Afghanistan, which is necessary in order to support the efforts of the Government and people of Afghanistan to build a democratic and Viable State, one which is fully integrated in its region and in the international system.”

6. “Effectively penalizing of those responsible for grave human rights violations is an obligation of the international community and a powerful signal of the validity of the rule of law. We express our grave concern at the persistence of situations of risk for civilian populations that Mr. Egeland cited this morning, including the situations in Darfur, Gaza, Chad, northern Uganda, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo. We took note of the five priorities that he set out for future work by the Security Council on the issue of protecting civilians. They clearly reflect the areas requiring greater attention, such as preventive measures, timely information on humanitarian crises and cooperative efforts with civil society, including non-governmental organizations. Finally, I wish to express Peru's gratitude to Mr.”

7. “The Secretary- General must regularly inform the Council about the incorporation of the provisions of resolution 1674 (2006) into new or renewed mission mandates and continue to monitor specific cases in which conflicts and/or humanitarian crises have caused the civilian population to fall victim to violence, insecurity and systematic human rights violations. Within the framework of the United Nations system, we must seek greater cooperation among the specialized agencies present on the ground so as to improve our efficiency in the protection of civilians, including displaced populations. Such efforts will help to provide more effective follow-up to Security Council decisions. Likewise, the Council must cooperate with the International Criminal Court in the fight against impunity.”

8. “In that connection, Peru believes that the Security Council should continue to sponsor effective and feasible actions to ensure the protection of civilians who find themselves immersed in armed conflict. I should like to make a few comments about the work of the Security Council in this area. First, we seek full implementation of resolution 1674 (2006), which the Council adopted in April. We should continue to include clear guidelines and rules aimed at protecting civilians in all resolutions on countries in which there are peacekeeping operations and monitor their implementation.”

9. “Mr. Voto-Bernales (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, I wish to thank Mr. Jan Egeland, Under- Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, for his presentation. According to the information that Mr. Egeland provided, much work remains to be done if the United Nations is to be effective in protecting civilians in armed conflict. In View of the situations that he described, we must reaffirm the responsibility of the United Nations to protect human rights throughout the world and the duty to prevent war crimes, genocide and ethnic cleansing. We must also reaffirm the importance of the task of ensuring humanitarian access to civilian populations affected by conflict and protecting the staff who provide such assistance, as well as all civilians involved.”
