As stated by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Argentina works at this stage to consolidate lasting peace, with solid foundations on truth, justice, and equality. In the Security Council, this mandate translates into a clear agenda: the support of democracy as an element of stability; the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide; the collection and coordination of concerns by countries of the Latin American and Caribbean Group; the promotion of multilateralism; support the improvement of peacekeeping operations; improvement of the UN sanctions´ system in order to make it more effectiveness; and increase the participation of women at all levels of the decision-making process in conflict prevention, conflict management,settlements and resolution, and peace processes.
