“China supports the international community on the basis of the existing international legal framework and the relevant Security Council resolutions in strengthening international cooperation on the prosecution and imprisonment of Somali pirates. China appreciates the work of various countries in that regard, especially by coastal States. Strengthening the judicial capacity of coastal States will be critical in prosecuting and imprisoning Somali pirates. China supports efforts towards strengthening the judicial capacity of coastal States and calls upon the international community to continue to provide necessary assistance to coastal States. Moreover, China also welcomes various feasible programmes conducive to the prosecution and imprisonment of Somali pirates.”

“The Special Adviser has put forward in his report (see S/2011/30) 25 proposals on combating Somali piracy more vigorously. The proposals are wide-ranging in content. As a follow-up to the Secretary-General's report issued last July (S/2010/394), the report will serve as an important reference for all parties to identify gaps that hinder the effective prosecution and imprisonment of Somali pirates, as well as to explore feasible solutions. The report warrants further study. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and other relevant international instruments provide a basic legal framework for States to exercise jurisdiction and engage in judicial cooperation against piracy.”

“China has consistently supported the TFG and the implementation of the Djibouti Peace Agreement. We welcome the new Cabinet established not long ago by the TFG. We hope that the TFG will continue to work for national reconciliation, a stronger security sector and a speedy completion of the tasks that remain in the transitional period. China supports the African Union Mission in Somalia and is in favour of the United Nations playing a greater role in addressing the Somali issue. The international community must respond actively to the appeals by Somalia and the African Union by providing more assistance to Somalia. China is of the view that the effective prosecution and imprisonment of perpetrators of acts of piracy form an important link in combating piracy in Somalia.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Legal Issues related to Piracy off the Cost of Somalia, Mr. Jack Lang, for his briefing. I would also like to thank Assistant Secretary-General Stephen Mathias for his briefing and the representative of Somalia for his statement. At the present time, the Somali peace process is facing multiple challenges. The security situation leaves no room for optimism. Piracy remains rampant. To address the issue of Somalia, we must treat both the root causes and the symptoms. The Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the international community must adopt a holistic strategy to promote, in parallel, work in the political, security, economic, development and humanitarian areas.”

“Fourthly, the United Nations and the international community need to enhance coordination so that conflict prevention, peacekeeping, peacebuilding and promoting development can advance in tandem and in an orderly manner. That entails setting up comprehensive strategies for peacebuilding so that experiences and lessons can be drawn quickly and overlapping and waste of resources can be avoided.”

“Thirdly, prioritization is important in helping peacebuilding in post-conflict countries. In such countries a myriad of tasks must be restarted from scratch, in a complex environment with fragile political and security bases. The international community's first task is to help the countries concerned ensure basic security, promote the political process, provide basic services, support core government functions and reinvigorate the economy and development. The primary goal of the international community's support in institution-building is to consolidate peace, safeguard stability, revive the economy and enhance the rule of law. In that process, full consideration must be given to the priority needs of the countries concerned and full attention must be paid to their views in formulating peacebuilding strategies.”

“National ownership and national capacity must be enhanced so as to lay the foundation for sustainable peace and development. The role of the international community is to provide assistance rather than substitution. Secondly, national capacity-building is the key to success in peacebuilding in post-conflict countries. The United Nations and the international community must prioritize peacebuilding tasks, including institution- building, in the light of the specificities and circumstances of post-conflict countries and must provide timely and tailored technical support and assistance. In that regard, it is important to deploy competent international civil servants with the right skills to the post-conflict countries in a timely manner and to vigorously help countries concerned to provide training in the talents needed.”

“In post-conflict countries, how can peacebuilding work evolve at an early stage so that a transition from stability to ll-2l268 sustainable peace and development can be achieved? How can coherence and coordination between the United Nations and other relevant parties be strengthened so that effective partnership can be established? In what ways should the United Nations and the international community provide support and help to post-conflict countries in peacebuilding, especially institution-building? In that context, China would like to raise the following four points. First, it is imperative that the post-conflict countries bear the primary responsibility for peacebuilding in their own countries. All sides must fully respect the sovereignty and will of the countries concerned.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I thank Bosnia and Herzegovina for taking the initiative to convene this thematic debate on post-conflict peacebuilding and institution-building. We welcome the attendance of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Deputy Prime Minister Guterres of Timor-Leste. I also thank Ambassador Wittig, Chairperson of the Peacebuilding Commission, for his statement. Peacebuilding is the common challenge facing post-conflict countries. It is also one of important means through which the international community helps prevent relapse into conflicts. In the peacebuilding process, there are questions that are not new but that have not yet been effectively addressed, such as the following.”

“We appreciate the contributions made by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and MINUSTAH under difficult conditions. In the current situation, MINUSTAH should concentrate on helping Haiti maintain security and stability, promote the political process and support Haiti's capacity-building in the security and judicial sectors. We also hope that the United Nations will enhance its comprehensive evaluation of the situation in Haiti, improve its security, early warning and crisis management capacities, and effectively respond to various security threats and challenges.”

“United Nations agencies, international financial instructions and regional organizations should further enhance coordination, clarify the division of labour, improve aid effectiveness, and avoid duplication and the wasting of resources. We support the United Nations in playing a more effective coordinating role in the process of Haiti's post-disaster reconstruction. Thirdly, we must help Haiti to deal with the cholera epidemic, which has brought further suffering to its people. The international community should continue to provide assistance to Haiti in preventing and controlling the cholera epidemic so as to prevent any further spread. MINUSTAH has played an important role in maintaining security and stability in Haiti.”

“We call on all sides in Haiti to focus on the peace and stability of the country and the well-being of the people; uphold unity, renounce violence, avoid provocations; resolve disputes through consultations within the framework of Haiti's Constitution and laws; and ensure that the elections truly reflect the will of the Haitian people. We appreciate the active role played by the Organization of American States in this regard. Secondly, support to Haiti's post-disaster reconstruction efforts should be stepped up. Rebuilding Haiti will take years of hard work, there will be many challenges, and the long-term support and assistance of the international community will be needed. We call on all relevant actors to provide the assistance they committed to Haiti as soon as possible.”

“The process of consolidating security and achieving sustainable peace and stability faces many challenges. We believe that the United Nations and the international community should focus in the short term on providing support and assistance in the following three aspects. First, they should promote an appropriate solution to Haiti's presidential election crisis. Holding free, fair and credible elections in Haiti will be of great significance to lasting peace and stability and post- disaster reconstruction in the country.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I would like to thank Under-Secretaries-General Le Roy and Amos for the briefings they have given us. I also wish to thank the representative of Haiti for the statement he has made. The earthquake of 12 January 2010 produced unprecedented devastation in Haiti. The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) also suffered heavy losses. Eight Chinese peacekeeping police officers were killed. China would again like to extend its deep condolences to the families of the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. We hope that, with the support of the international community, the people of Haiti will come together and rebuild their homes at an early date. The current situation in Haiti is serious and fragile.”

“China welcomes and supports all international peace efforts to resolve Palestinian and Israeli differences and to restart dialogue and negotiation. We hope that Palestinians and Israelis will make common efforts for the early resumption of talks and the achievement of substantive results. The humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, especially in the Gaza Strip, remains harsh and serious. That is not good for regional stability, nor is it conducive to the creation of appropriate conditions for peace talks between Palestine and Israel. We hope the parties concerned will effectively implement the relevant United Nations resolutions and quickly and completely lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip and return to the people of Gaza normal and respectful conditions for survival and development.”

“China has always maintained that, on the basis of relevant Security Council resolutions, the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Middle East Road Map to peace, Palestine and Israel should settle their differences through dialogue and negotiation that will result in the establishment of an independent State of Palestine so that Palestine and Israel can coexist in peace. At present, the issue of settlements is the greatest obstacle to the resumption of direct talks. China urges Israel to immediately and completely cease settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the West Bank and East Jerusalem. China hopes that Israel will adopt a serious and responsible approach and create the conditions necessary to building mutual trust and relaunching the peace talks.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I wish to thank Under-Secretary-General Pascoe for his briefing. I have also listened carefully to the statement made by the Permanent Observer of Palestine. The current situation in the Middle East remains complex and fragile and is a source of concern. The international community should continue to push for a political settlement of the question of Palestine. This is not only in line with the universal expectations of the people of the region, including the Palestinians and Israelis, and the international community, but also touches directly on lasting peace and security in the Middle East.”

“At present, the security situation in Darfur is very fragile and the humanitarian situation is facing a number of difficulties. The root cause is the lack of a strong and widely supported political agreement in Darfur. China therefore calls on the Security Council and the international community to strengthen their support to the political process in Darfur and to urge the rebel groups there to join the peace talks without conditions or delay. We also support the continued efforts of UNMIS to promote the political process in Darfur in accordance with resolution 1935 (2010).”

“We hope that the North and the South will continue to engage in dialogue and consultations in order to reach an early agreement on such issues as Abyei, wealth-sharing and border demarcation so as to further promote the North-South peace process. China donated $500,000 to assist the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission in the holding the referendum. We also provided the Southern Sudan Referendum Bureau with support in kind and sent a team of observers to the Sudan. We are ready to work with the international community and the parties concerned and to continue to play an active and constructive role in promoting the long-term peace, stability and development of the Sudan. China supports a peaceful and comprehensive settlement of the Darfur issue, in particular by addressing the root causes of the conflict.”

“China also welcomes the contributions made by such regional organizations as the African Union, the League of Arab States, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the African Union Mission in the Sudan and the Secretary- General's Panel on the Referenda in the Sudan. We thank them for their efforts, which contributed to the smooth holding of the referendum. The referendum in Southern Sudan is not an end in itself. The ultimate goal of implementing the CPA remains that of attaining sustainable peace, stability and development in the Sudan. Regardless of the outcome of the referendum, it is imperative to ensure long-term peace and stability in the Sudan and the wider region.”

The referendum in Southern Sudan has been completed smoothly with the joint efforts made by the North, the South and the international community. This is an important step towards the full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which China welcomes.”

“The international community needs to respect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Afghanistan, deliver in earnest and fulfil its commitment to aid the country and respect its priorities in that process. The United Nations is an important partner in the Afghan peace and reconstruction process. China supports the United Nations and UNAMA in continuing to play a leading and coordinating role in the Afghan peace and reconstruction process, and hopes that UNAMA will make a greater contribution to coordinating aid to Afghanistan.”

“We encourage the Afghan Government to take effective measures to expedite its economic development and improve its people's livelihoods. China supports progress in building up Afghan police and security forces, thereby upgrading the country's own capacity to maintain national security. The transfer of security responsibility to the Afghan Government should be conducted in an orderly manner on the precondition of ensuring security and stability. We support the Afghan Government in advancing the peace and reintegration programme. We hope that it will seriously consult its people and different political factions to steadily expand the political base for reconciliation. In order to achieve durable peace, stability and development, Afghanistan still needs the sustained attention and support of the international community.”

“Achieving durable peace, stability and development in Afghanistan is in the common interests of the international community. The Afghan peace and reconstruction process is currently undergoing a critical period of transition in which it still faces numerous challenges. That process must be effectively Afghan-owned and -led. China supports the Afghan Government in its efforts to strengthen its national capacity-building to effectively exercise its authority over the whole of its territory. Balanced efforts are needed to advance all sectors - including economic development, security and stability, national reconciliation, governance, the rule of law and drug control - in order to make continuous progress in the Kabul process.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): I wish to thank Special Representative of the Secretary- General Staffan de Mistura and Ambassador Zahir Tanin, Permanent Representative of Afghanistan, for the briefing and statement they have made, respectively. The Independent Electoral Commission recently published the results of the parliamentary elections in Afghanistan. The holding of those elections was a major event in the political life of Afghanistan this year and represented another significant step towards the Afghan people governing their country themselves. It is our sincere hope that the Afghan people will seize this opportunity to further consolidate unity and consensus and push ahead for the early achievement of peace, reconciliation and development.”

“Thirdly, in addressing issues relating to women and peace and security, there is a need for various United Nations bodies and agencies to operate with a synergetic division of labour, in accordance with their respective mandates. The Council needs to pay close attention to situations that pose threats to international peace and security and to make full use of existing mechanisms, such as the Special Representative of the Secretary- General and UN Women, to create synergy. Fourthly, China supports resolution 1960 (2010), which was just adopted. We hope that the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ms. Margot Wallstrom, will perform her responsibilities strictly in line with the mandate formulated by the Council to play a constructive role in addressing sexual violence in armed conflict.”
2010-12-16 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6453 (2010) · source
“In that connection, I wish to emphasize the following four points. First, the protection of women from sexual violence needs to be tackled at its source. Only when armed conflict is effectively prevented can there be real protection for women and their rights and interests. In that context, the international community should be committed to preventive diplomacy to settle disputes through dialogue, consultation and other peaceful means. Secondly, national Governments bear the primary responsibility for combating crimes of sexual violence. The international community should focus on providing affected countries with assistance, seek their understanding and cooperation, help strengthen their capacity-building, make progress in security sector reform and improve mechanisms in the areas of the rule oflaw, judicial assistance and compensation.”

“Mr. Wang Min (China) (spoke in Chinese): This year marks the tenth anniversary of the adoption of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000). It is highly significant for the Council to hold this open debate on sexual violence in armed conflict. China condemns all acts of violence against women in armed conflict, including sexual violence. It urges parties to conflicts to comply with international humanitarian and human rights law. We call on the relevant national Governments to investigate crimes and bring to justice the perpetrators of crimes against women in armed conflict. We urge the States that have not yet done so to accede to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women as soon as possible. To protect women from sexual violence in armed conflict, there is much that the international community can do.”

“We hope that the concerned parties can maintain their efforts to seek a solution through diplomatic negotiation and in a cooperative, flexible and pragmatic spirit try to gradually establish mutual confidence, seek common ground and promote progress in the negotiations. China continues to hope that the International Atomic Energy Agency can play a 10-68565 constructive role in helping to find an appropriate solution to the Iranian nuclear issue. China will continue to work with all parties to seize and make good use of the current opportunity to step up diplomatic efforts and to continue to build momentum for a solution of the Iranian nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiation. We will continue to do our part to find a comprehensive, lasting and appropriate solution of the Iranian nuclear issue.”

“However, in this process there should be no wilful interpretation or expansion of the scope the sanctions. China always believes that sanctions are not ends in themselves and cannot fundamentally resolve any issue. The best choice with respect to Iran is to seek peaceful diplomatic negotiations and a peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue. We now have a new opportunity to restart the dialogue on the Iranian nuclear issue and negotiations on the matter. The European Union and six countries have just carried out a positive and useful dialogue in Geneva that enhanced mutual understanding.”

During this process, China wishes to provide all necessary support and assistance to the Panel of Experts and will contribute as always to the work of the Committee. China always supports maintaining the international non-proliferation regime and attaches great importance to and strictly abides by the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. All Member States are required to implement the relevant resolutions of the Security Council comprehensively and earnestly.”

This will be his last briefing to the Security Council in his capacity as Chair of the Committee. Over the past two years, under the leadership of Ambassador Nishida and his predecessors, the Committee has done much pragmatic and effective work. China wishes to express its appreciation for the work of the Committee and its chairs. The Panel of Experts established pursuant to resolution 1929 (2010) is currently carrying out its work.

“The protection of civilians in armed conflict involves the development and evolution of international humanitarian law, which requires in-depth discussions with the broader membership with a view to reaching consensus. United Nations peacekeeping operations are deployed in varying circumstances and conditions. Their priorities should be tailored to local specificities. The one-size-fits-all approach will not work.”
2010-11-22 · UN Security Council · Security Council, S/PV.6427 (2010) · source
“The deployment of United Nations peacekeeping operations alone cannot offer a fundamental solution to the protection of civilians. The Security Council should prioritize preventive diplomacy in order to prevent and mitigate conflict. In a volatile conflict situation, the Council should commit to pushing for a strong and viable political process to achieve lasting peace and stability at an early date. The Council must focus on helping the affected countries to expedite security sector reform in order to build professional military and police forces and provide effective protection for their own citizens. Thirdly, in order to ensure the effective protection of civilians, the various United Nations bodies and agencies must ensure a synergetic division of labour, with a clear focus on the effective implementation of existing commitments.”

“First, the protection of civilians in armed conflict must be strengthened in line with the Fourth Geneva Convention, international humanitarian law, and the principle of respect for State sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity as enshrined in the United Nations Charter. National Governments bear the primary responsibility for protecting their own citizens. In a situation of armed conflict, the international community can assist in the protection of civilians, but such assistance should not substitute for the responsibilities and obligations of the national Government concerned. Secondly, in strengthening the protection of civilians, attention should be paid to addressing the root causes and symptoms of conflict.”

At the same time, China hopes that the three Committees will pay more attention to the counter- terrorism needs of developing countries and actively assist them.”

China is ready to assist the relevant countries as far as possible in such areas as implementing resolution 1540 (2004). Terrorism remains a major threat facing the international community, with terrorist attacks taking place sporadically in various parts of the world. The United Nations and the Security Council play a core role in facilitating international counter-terrorism cooperation.”

“The Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) played an important role in assisting the CTC. China welcomes the efforts of the CTED. Recently, the 1540 Committee has done much useful work to strengthen international cooperation, expand its outreach activities and promote assistance. We support the Committee's proposal to strengthen the interaction and cooperation of Member States and international and regional organizations in implementing resolution 1540 (2004). China hopes that those that are in a position to do so will provide developing countries with the necessary assistance to ease the difficulties that they face in implementing the resolution. China attaches importance to the role of the 1540 Committee by participating actively and constructively in all aspects of its work.”

China appreciates the efforts of the CTC to improve its working methods and to strengthen its dialogue with Member States. Over the past month, the CTC conducted an in-depth analysis of the major difficulties and challenges in the implementation of resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005), helped Member States to enhance their counter-terrorism capacity-building, and prepared new policy guidelines on international judicial cooperation, with positive results in its work.”

“Thirdly, ensuring women's participation in political processes, recovery and reconstruction is an important part of the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). The effective participation of women in political processes, national reconstruction and national reconciliation will contribute to the maintenance of social stability and the consolidation of peace in post-conflict countries. In the process of post-conflict reconstruction, women should be given a greater voice and a larger role in decision-making. Their special needs and concerns should be taken care of and employment should be provided to ensure a livelihood for them. Fourthly, there should be a division of labour among the relevant United Nations organs; they should work together on the basis of their respective mandates to address the question of women and peace and security.”

China supports the Secretary-General appointing more women as special representatives to provide good offices and political mediation. China condemns the use of sexual violence as a means of war. The international community shares a common responsibility to prevent sexual violence in conflicts.

“First, to ensure that women are protected from harm in armed conflict, efforts must be made to remove the root causes of conflict. Enabling women to play a full role in the peace and security sphere will make a positive contribution to the prevention and reduction of conflicts. Also, preventing the outbreak of conflicts and protecting the rights and interests of women depend on efforts by the international community to engage in preventive diplomacy and peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue and consultation and through the elimination of the root causes of conflict. Secondly, Governments in conflict or post-conflict situations bear primary responsibility for the protection of women in their own countries.”

Today's open Security Council debate on women and peace and security has special significance. Resolution 1325 (2000) focused the international community's attention on women in conflict and provides the basis for the international community to cooperate in helping countries in post-conflict situations to protect women's rights and interests. The international community has much to do for the comprehensive implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Here, I wish to emphasize the following four points.”

“China appreciates the work done by Special Representative Haq and UNMIT and supports the Mission in continuing its hard work in accordance with the mandate given to it by the Council. We hope to see the final smooth withdrawal by UNMIT from Timor- Leste, which will set an example for United Nations peacekeeping operations in formulating and implementing exit strategies. After the withdrawal of UNMIT in the future, the United Nations should continue to provide assistance to Timor-Leste in line with the wishes of the Government.”

“Thirdly, to achieve long-term peace and security in Timor-Leste, it is necessary to make great efforts to develop the economy and improve people's lives. We support the Government in continuing to strengthen social stability while also focusing on its development efforts on infrastructure and human resources capacity- building and working to develop the economy and improve the employment rate of the population, so as to fundamentally eliminate factors that cause social instability. The international community should continue to provide various forms of assistance in line with the development strategy of the country in order to speed up the country's process of peaceful reconstruction.”

“Secondly, in order to achieve long-term peace and security in Timor-Leste, it is necessary to constantly improve the country's own capacity to maintain security and stability. We support the PNTL in continuing to take over policing responsibilities. At the same time, in the course of its drawdown and reconfiguration, the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) should also give full attention to policing needs in various parts of the country. While ensuring the security and stability of the country, UNMIT should, in accordance with the local situation and the views of various parties, focus on helping the PNTL to enhance its own law enforcement capacity and expand training for Timor-Leste police.”
