confirmed that, in light of the growing number of conflicts that are occurring in the international arena, Peru reaffirms its commitment to multilateralism and that the United Nations (UN) is the central forum for the search for peaceful and negotiated solutions.
The Peruvian government official began his speech by pointing out that mankind is facing the largest number of conflicts on a global level since World War II and that the past three years have been the most violent of the last three decades.
The diplomat added that contemporary conflicts are more numerous and more complex due to the diversification of their triggers and causes, socio-political dynamics, the growing involvement of non-state actors, and the humanitarian catastrophes they unleash.
"Faced with this scenario, Peru reaffirms its conviction that multilateralism remains the best tool to confront these challenges and that the United Nations is the central forum for the search for peaceful and negotiated solutions," Schialer expressed.
He also said that
countries must respect their commitment to scrupulously apply the
United Nations Charter, since
selectivity in its application "not only erodes trust but also weakens the multilateral system as a whole and with it our ability to maintain peace."
Regarding the strengthening of
UN peacekeeping operations, he stressed that, in addition to the
250 Peruvian troops currently serving in various parts of the world, "Peru has a rapid reaction force ready to be deployed immediately whenever the United Nations requires it."
Ambassador Schialer concluded by reaffirming Peru's unwavering commitment to the principles that gave rise to the United Nations.
Moreover, he underlined that only through a strengthened and renewed multilateralism will it be possible to confront current challenges in order to bequeath to future generations a fair, safe, and peaceful future, without leaving anyone behind.
