It emphasizes that political differences must be settled by peaceful means only and calls on the parties to comply with all the confidence-building measures to which they agreed after the incidents of 20 to 22 August 2006.”

  9. “We were honoured by the international community's recognition of that commitment when last year Peru was elected as a non-permanent member of the Security Council. Throughout the year, we have been delivering on our promises by working with all of the countries represented in the Council. This month, our responsibility will be even greater. But I am convinced that, with the cooperation of all delegations and the Secretariat, we will be able to carry out this important task in the best possible manner. Adoption of the agenda The agenda was adopted.”

  14. “In that respect, we are pleased to lean that peacekeeping missions are increasingly incorporating a gender perspective in the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration process. Likewise, we would like to highlight the fact that many peacekeeping operations already have offices on gender issues, thus contributing to the promotion of national, governmental and non-governmental capacities in conflict areas. There is much to be done, and the task must addressed jointly by States, by the United Nations system and civil society, in particular by women's groups. In that respect, we would like to underline the fact that an Arria-formula meeting, convened by the delegation of the United Kingdom, was held yesterday, on Wednesday, 25 October, on the role of women in peacebuilding.”

  15. “The establishment of the Peacebuilding Commission and of its Support Office gives us a fresh opportunity to help countries in the process of their economic and social reconstruction and to prevent them from slipping once again into armed conflict. Likewise, it is important that States shoulder their responsibilities and take the necessary and firm steps necessary to remove those barriers preventing women from being effectively involved in the political sphere, in decision-making bodies, and in the peacekeeping and peacebuilding processes. We also deem it important that the agencies of the United Nations system and civil society organizations continue to implement innovative projects to prevent gender-based violence in situations of armed conflict and to address every kind of violence against women.”

  16. “Only the rule of law and justice can create a safe and sustainable environment that will enable the full participation of women in the peacebuilding process. With regard to the Secretary-General's report, Peru welcomes its consideration of the Action Plan for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). In the light of the conclusions reached, we support the proposal to continue working to speed up the implementation of the resolution in the five key areas. Likewise, we agree with the Secretary-General that the Action Plan, at all levels of the United Nations system, should be renewed beyond 2007 and redesigned to take into account the conclusions and measures contained in the report.”

  17. “That statement is corroborated by the in-depth study on all forms of violence against women that the Secretary-General has submitted to the General Assembly. That is why we feel that the international community must continue to use all instruments available to it so as to put an end to violations of the human rights of women and girls in situations of armed conflict. This must be done through coordinated strategies and policies at the national and international levels. For example, although it is important that such situations be brought systematically before international tribunals, States themselves have the primary responsibility for providing justice and for punishing those responsible for crimes.”

  18. “Six years after the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000), which involved a change in the way we think about and deal with the issue of the participation of women in conflict prevention and in promoting and assisting in the peacekeeping process, we see that, despite the efforts made to implement it, realities on the ground show that we are still a long way away from achieving the goals that we set ourselves. It is regrettable that women are continuing to suffer as a result of armed conflict, during which they are subject to all forms of physical, sexual and psychological violence committed by both State and non-State actors. Increasingly violence and sexual abuse, as well as the transmission of HIV/AIDS, are used intentionally as weapons of war.”

  20. “We encourage the parties to implement soon the bilateral political dialogue at the highest level. Moreover, the existence of armed groups, which threaten the State monopoly on the legitimate use of force in Lebanese territory, cannot be accepted. They are sources of internal and external instability. I understand that we will shortly be receiving reports from the Secretariat on resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1701 (2006); after we have heard those reports, we will come back with our detailed comments.”

  21. “With Israel's continued occupation of Palestinian territories and the creation of faits accomplis on the ground, and with continued acts of terrorism against Israel, the passage of time is eroding the only platform on the basis of which a lasting solution can be reached; such a solution must be achieved in the framework of Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973) and 1397 (2002). With regard to the situation in Lebanon, I would like to stress the need for the parties to continue to respect the cessation of hostilities and the Blue Line. The demarcation of the international borders of Lebanon, especially in zones where there is controversy, remains unresolved, as does the establishment and normalization of conventional diplomatic relations between Lebanon and its neighbours.”

  22. “Likewise, we have taken note of the Quartet's decision, announced in its statement of 20 September, to intensify its efforts, working closely with the countries of the region with which it has established special links, and with the parties to the conflict. We need to create a dynamic that will encourage the parties to pursue their efforts towards a solution based on the principle of the peaceful coexistence of two States: Israel and Palestine. This continues to be key in clearing the path of negotiations.”

  23. “The lack of cohesion between the presidency and the executive branch makes it very difficult to establish public order and makes it far harder for the security forces to stop the unacceptable attacks from Gaza against Israeli targets, which are often chosen indiscriminately. For that reason, we hope that the efforts of President Abbas to form a government will continue, enabling the Palestinian Authority to act coherently. These efforts received the support of the Quartet last month in the hope that they would lead to a political platform, enabling the donor community to feel able to resume support for the Palestinian Government.”

  24. “The persistence of this crisis makes it difficult for the parties to return to the path of a peaceful solution, as described in the Road Map defined by the Quartet and supported by the Security Council in resolution 1515 (2003); that is necessary to restore hope. The recent war in Lebanon has taught us a lesson regarding the risk of escalated conflict. The persistence of the internal crisis in Palestinian governance is particularly alarming. The continuing disagreements between the presidency and the Government represent a major factor in the financial, economic and humanitarian crisis that gives rise to suffering among the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip.”

  25. “Mr. Voto-Bernales (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): I thank you, Mr. President, for those very cordial words of welcome. I would also like to thank Ambassador Alvaro de Soto, Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General to the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority, for his briefing. The report we have just heard is cause for great concern. In particular, we note that the crisis continues between the presidency and the Government of the Palestinian Authority, and that an Israeli soldier remains captive.”
