We are very honoured to note how the topic we had the privilege of introducing in 1995, at the fiftieth session of the General Assembly, has evolved.

According to my interpretation of the procedure, Mr. President, you would have to present the name of Peru, even though Peru has declared that it will not contest the seat that is now up for election. We have done this for principles of solidarity and in order to respect the principle of rotation. I…
In this election process, Peru has not sought re-election, but rather election, because we believe in the principle of rotation. Our country did not seek to create the current situation. It is the result of alliances that have created a context that gives the impression that Peru is contesting the s…
I wish to refer to agenda item 156, and specifically to draft resolution A/52/L.4, entitled “Towards a culture of peace”, which Peru is co-sponsoring for the third consecutive year since its introduction in the Third Committee and, on this occasion, in the plenary of the General Assembly.

My delegation has repeatedly joined in sponsoring General Assembly draft resolutions on the Middle East peace process. We have always aimed to strengthen the process, and consider that we have the duty to state our position clearly whenever the process encounters obstacles. As the Security Council f…
Peru enthusiastically sponsored the draft resolution on the Middle East peace process submitted to the General Assembly following the important Oslo accords. We therefore do not consider that either the General Assembly or the United Nations itself is interfering at a time when there is a grave lack…

The reports of the Secretary-General, in particular that on the consequences of armed conflicts on children, have been very eloquent in this respect,…
