DECLARATION
Peru shares the intervention made by the representative of South Africa on behalf of the 77 group and China.
Peru considers that earlier important references could facilitate the adoption of a narrative for the Post 2015 agenda; time mist recent is the Final Report on SDG of July 2014. Other narratives are the Millenium declaration of 2000, the declaration on the MDG achievements of 2010; and the Final Document of Rio + 20 The future we want.
Peru agrees that the objective is the integration of and ambitious and transforming agenda, of universal scope but respecting the particularities of each country, to allow I) poverty eradication in all its forms (dimensional character), ii) to reach sustainable development by 2030. That necessarily implies iii) inequality reduction and sustainable economic growth through economic and social inclusion.
In concordance with that, Peru aspires that the following points, consistent with his foreign policy guidelines and the main positions promoted in the international development arena should be included in the Declaration:
a) a Person centered agenda, considering her or his Welfare, development and security; and in the protection of his human dignity.
b) the reaffirmation of fundamental Human rights.
c) to recognize that states have the main responsibility in defining and implementing the Post 2015 agenda.
d) to prioritize the eradication of poverty in all it's dimensions and forms.
e) to achieve sustainable development, through effective integration and action in its three dimensions: economic, social and environmental.
f) the elimination of inequalities through an effective economic and social inclusion.
g) the promotion of sustainable economic growth to reach sustainable development, including industrialization as important for productive diversification and decent jobs.
h) a call to develop an equal and fair international trade in the framework of the World Trade Organization.
i) the construction of resilient and less vulnerable societies to social, economic and environmental shocks.
j) a call to a efficient fight against climate change in the framework of the UN Convention against Climate Change.
k) women empowering
l) the promotion to Rule of Law and access to justice, as appropriate frameworks to rights exercise, institutions efficacy and the fight against corruption.
m) to achieve a more stable, equal and fair international economic order and to reform its government structures
n) to recognize cultural diversity and the contribution of culture and of indigenous peoples' traditional knowledges to sustainable development.
o). Reaffirm the declaration on the Right to development (1986) and the principal on common but differentiated responsibilities.
In the same way, Peru values the contributions of the UN Secretary General's synthesis report which identifies six essential elements. We believe that the declaration may orient the narrative around these six essential principles as axes of a universal, transformative, inclusive and integrated agenda.
Thank you.
