UN General Assembly

creates room for legal uncertainty and could jeopardize international peace and stability. In that context, we continue to believe that reform of the Security Council is a pending issue requiring political decision and swift action. We reiterate our support for the enlargement of the Council and for the aspirations of Germany, Brazil, Japan and India to become permanent members. In addition, Chile favours a serious debate on the French proposal to limit the right to veto in the case of crimes involving the responsibility to protect. We acknowledge the Secretary-General’s efforts to achieve a more inclusive global governance in which the post-2015 development agenda and the sustainable development goals occupy a central place and require the political support of Governments and societies in all regions. The post-2015 process provides a great opportunity to tackle the social and development issues common to all societies and regions, using a comprehensive approach, through specific and measurable goals. Women and peace and security is an item on the agenda of the Security Council to which Chile, as a member of the Council, attaches priority.
