  1. “Jordan insists that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees remain free from politicization and manipulation, and calls on the international community to continue supporting that vital entity, because any shortage in its funding will lead to the closure of schools and the suffering of tens of thousands of children who will not be able to continue their education and their life as required. Jordan also supports at all levels the historic resolution 2250 (2015), on youth, security and peace. In conclusion, the eyes of millions of children around the world are turned to you, Madam President, and to the rest of the Security Council members and the United Nations Member States for a better future. We must promise that we will not deny them education, growth opportunities and living in peace.”

  2. “That is why Jordan has made and continues to make tireless efforts to provide Syrian refugee children with the best possible education services, given the means at our disposal. We have also established a child-protection centre for refugees and another centre related to promoting educational environment and child protection. Ongoing financial support for the host countries by the international community is of course required in order to continue providing education and health services until a political solution is reached and the refugees return home.”

  3. “Every day, these children face numerous threats such as arrest, imprisonment, torture and death, not to mention the aggressions of the Israeli occupying forces and settlers without impunity. We underscore the importance of giving attention to the situation of children living in others conflict zones like Syria, Yemen, Libya and Myanmar, in order to provide them with protection. We must also give due attention to providing them with the rehabilitation, reinsertion and reintegration programmes. We must not forget to give appropriate attention to the rights of the girl victims of trafficking, rape, sexual violence and worse kinds of exploitation, as we have seen in the atrocities committed by Da'esh against Yazidi women in Iraq. Education remains the best way to protect the future of displaced children.”

  4. “While the nature of armed conflict is changing, the major challenges before the international community are the following. How do we ensure that non-State armed groups respect international humanitarian law and human rights? How do we ensure accountability for those committing these grave violations and crimes against children in armed conflicts? How do we make sure that they do not enjoy impunity for those violations? In this context, it is necessary to draw attention to the need to ensure that peacekeeping operations have all the capabilities to protect children and save them from being exploited. We wish to highlight the ongoing violations being committed against Palestinian children in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, as the Israeli occupying forces do not hesitate to violate the human rights of children.”

  5. “Mr. Al-Otoom (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to thank the Swedish presidency for its efforts at the helm of the Security Council this month. We wish your delegation, Madam President, every success. I also wish to thank the briefers for their valuable briefings. Despite the world's major progress in developing legal norms and frameworks for the protection of children in armed conflict, and despite improvements in the way the international community addresses the protection of children during and after armed conflict, we are nevertheless seeing an unprecedented increase in violations, attacks and violence directed against children as well as an expansion in their numbers as victims in the world. This situation has been compounded by an increase in attacks on hospitals and schools in numerous conflict areas.”

  6. “We stress the need for States to strengthen cooperation across their own sectors, such as the industrial and parliamentary sectors, civil society and the academic sector. During its term on the Security Council as a non-permanent member, Jordan was vehement in its efforts towards calling attention to the work of the 1540 Committee in its belief of the need to facilitate its success. We emphasize the importance of the continuation of the Committee's work and cooperating with it to achieve a world of stability, peace and love.”

  7. “We support the recommendations contained in the report, in particular with regard to the full implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) through focused approaches to be implemented by the Committee and by maintaining the important cooperation between the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001) concerning counter-terrorism and the 1540 Committee in order to update information concerning the capabilities of terrorist groups and their ability to use WMDs. We emphasize the need for continued cooperation between the 1540 Committee with other relevant international organizations, in particular the International Atomic Energy Agency and INTERPOL, as well as the international initiatives on combating nuclear terrorism and the international partnership to counter the proliferation of nuclear weapons.”

  8. “We exchanged views, discussed practical difficulties in the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) and developed a road map on how to overcome them. We also discussed cooperation among Member States and regional and international organizations in strengthening national capacity- building. My delegation welcomes the report of the comprehensive review of resolution 1540 (2004), which we hope will pave the way for the implementation of the resolution and contribute to capacity-building.”

  9. “We have enacted a number of national laws, enforced effective measures and developed national regulations to control and prevent chemical, biological and nuclear weapons and their means of delivery. We have submitted three reports on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). I would like to refer to the workshop for States members of the League of Arab States on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004), which was hosted in June by Jordan, with the assistance of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs. The workshop included the participation of representatives of 15 Arab States, donor States, the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), the Group of Experts and 11 regional and international organizations, as well as representatives of the private sector and civil society.”

  10. “The danger posed by the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by non-State actors is alarming, in particular given the work of terrorist groups throughout the world, starting with the Middle East and continuing through Africa and Europe. These groups use different means to effectively plan and implement their work. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has stated that the terrorist group Da'esh is using mustard gas in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. We must therefore examine the capacities of these terrorist groups, which kill and terrorize people in order to achieve their goals. Jordan has taken concrete steps to implement resolution 1540 (2004).”

  11. “Mr. Al-Otoom (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, allow me to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this important meeting and to congratulate you on the important and substantial work undertaken by Spain in the course of its membership of the Security Council and at the head of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), which has been effectively and positively reflected in the Council's work during the past two years. I also wish to thank Deputy Secretary-General Eliasson; Mr. Kim Won-so, High Representative for Disarmament Affairs; and Mr. Bryan Finley and Mr. James Min for their briefings.”
