1. “As a proud partner of DPA, Italy has consistently scaled up its contribution to the Department in support of its mediation activities, and will provide additional funding soon. Italy is also partnering with UN-Women and the United Nations Development Programme to promote the inclusion of women and a gender perspective into peace, national dialogue and reconciliation processes, and to develop the necessary capabilities. We encourage the Secretary-General to fully exert his powers under Article 99 of the Charter of the United Nations. The Security Council should more frequently adopt the informal-meeting format to discuss issues that, while not being formally on the agenda, still deserve its attention, and it should be briefed more frequently by the relevant civil society actors.”

2. “The United Nations plays an essential role in promoting mediation, most notably through the Department of Political Affairs (DPA) and its Mediation Support Unit. Strengthening the mediation capabilities embedded in United Nations missions in the field is also crucial. The creation and deployment of Peace and Development Advisers is an important step in that direction. The Secretary General has injected new energy into this dynamic by promoting a surge in diplomacy and establishing the High-level Advisory Board on Mediation. The dialogue the United Nations is fostering in different parts of the world, such as Libya, the Horn of Africa and Colombia, is a tangible example of this.”

3. “I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this debate. I also wish to thank the Secretary-General and all the briefers for their valuable contributions. Italy aligns itself with the statements delivered by the observer of the European Union and by the representative of the Group of Friends of Mediation. Experience has proven that the recourse to peaceful means for the prevention and settlement of disputes and crises is the best and most cost-effective solution. Among the peaceful tools at our disposal, mediation is key. It is a vital instrument to give substance to the sustaining peace agenda. It is notjust a way to overcome crises, it is also an occasion to reinvigorate the positive forces of a country, promote dialogue and inclusiveness and, ultimately, eliminate the root causes of conflicts.”
