  1. “As stated in the Secretary-General's report (S/2016/360), the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict continues to consider the various cases before it and the coalition has invited the Working Group several times to visit the region and to review the facts that have been gleaned so far. In this regard, the work is continuing and Jordan supports all efforts to protect children in armed conflict. We thank Ms. Leila Zerrougui, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict.”

  2. “We continue to coordinate with United Nations specialized agencies and non-governmental organizations in establishing specialized care centres to provide the necessary educational, health and protective environment to help children receive the services they need and the psychological and social support to which they are entitled. In conclusion, with regard to the measures taken by the coalition to restore legitimacy to Yemen and the responses to all the queries raised with regard to possible violations in Yemen, we would to see a working group established to look into and verify the facts on this issue.”

  3. “We have since the beginning of the Syrian crisis supported the Syrian people, 1.3 million of whom, including hundreds of thousands of children, have fled to Jordan in search ofa safe haven following the killing and destruction committed by the Syrian regime. In this regard, Jordan continues to do its utmost to provide Syrian children and refugees with a chance at a better future and give them the highest levels of protection and care, as demonstrated at the London donors conference, at which the Jordanian Government presented the international community with an eight-point document laying out its policy to provide educational opportunities to all refugee children so as to provide them with a better future.”

  4. “We also support the recommendation of the Secretary-General on the establishment of child- protection units in peacekeeping operations so as to facilitate the provision of such protection and to make it a main aspect of peacekeeping operations. With regard to the baseless and false accusations made by the representative of the Syrian regime in our meeting today, we would like to stress that this is only an attempt to create a diversion aimed at covering up that regime's failure to shoulder its responsibility to protect its people and put an end to the killing and displacement of children. These accusations fly in the face of reality. Jordan is a country that has definite credibility in supporting the States and peoples of the region.”

  5. “The United Nations should supervise such processes to ensure that they do not fail to punish perpetrators for their crimes against civilians and children in particular. Jordan continues to be concerned with regard to certain violations perpetrated by peacekeepers and members of other international forces not affiliated with the United Nations, particularly violations against children. In that regard, we welcome Security Council resolution 2272 (2016), which stipulates that a military unit or police unit must be repatriated when there is definite proof that it has committed violations. We urge that all those who have been involved in such violations be held responsible for them.”

  6. “At the regional level, it is important to promote cooperation among States so as to devise joint policies and strategies to address the issue of cross-border armed groups that recruit children, and to do so through the promotion of an security and military information exchange among States, particularly those whose civilians have been the victims of such violations. At the international level, in the context of the Security Council and other legal entities, it is absolutely necessary not to reach any agreements or hold any reconciliation processes among regional parties or parties within one State at the expense of other important issues, such as holding perpetrators to account for their crimes.”

  7. “We therefore believe that much of the work that should be done to provide the necessary protection and support to the children affected should take place through the adoption of measures at the national, regional and international levels. At the national level, we continue to believe that it is the responsibility of the State to protect its civilians, particularly children, through legislative, legal and judicial improvements and the development of the policies necessary to deal with violations against children in armed conflict; to hold accountable the perpetrators of such violations; and to put an end to impunity, since impunity and lack of accountability play a major role in the spread of such criminality and make the perpetrators believe that they can enjoy impunity.”

  8. “Mr. Albatayneh (Jordan) (spoke in Arabic): Allow me at the outset to congratulate Malaysia on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of August. I should like also to thank the briefers. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2016/360) on violations against children in armed conflict around the world makes it abundantly clear that those violations continue to be committed in a systematic and wide-scale manner and that there are grave challenges before us to provide the necessary protection to children. Perhaps one of the main reasons for the increasing scope of the phenomenon is the failure to provide the necessary protection to civilians in general and children in particular, as well as the lack of a legal framework to do so.”
