“Within the framework of the United Nations, the Government is working relentlessly to draft and endorse resolutions on counter-terrorism, as well as working with its international partners on providing security to the Iraqi people and protecting our children from terrorist attacks.”

“The Iraqi Government has taken various steps to combat such acts, including developing programmes and enacting legislation aimed at preventing the exploitation of children, and providing the financial resources needed for this. Iraq's penal code and counter-terrorism laws have established basic rules designed to punish those recruiting anyone, including children, into such criminal terrorist activities. The Government of Iraq has continued to protect its citizens in general, and in particular to address the negative effects of terrorism on children and provide them with protection from its attacks. We have worked to encourage a culture that promotes and protects human rights, based on international standards.”

“Regarding paragraph 71 of the report, on the association of children with armed groups, we would like to point out that this phenomenon contravenes our military service law, which prohibits military service for those under 18. My Government is also continuing to take every possible measure to prevent the recruitment of children by armed groups, through efforts to eliminate all circumstances that might be conducive to such recruitment. In recent years many armed groups using terrorism to achieve their goals have worked to recruit scores of children and exploit their innocence by using them to plant explosives or assist others in doing so.”

“Iraq is confronting enormous challenges resulting from the vicious attacks aimed at crippling its transition to democracy and our Government's efforts to establish order and stability throughout the country, and derailing Iraq's ability to enjoy its economic, social and political human rights. At this point, we would like to comment on the section on Iraq in the report. We agree with the observation in paragraph 70 on the increase in the number of security incidents in 2013. These are the result of terrorist organizations' direct targeting of residential areas where there are markets, schools and hospitals, killing and injuring thousands of innocent civilians, including children. Neither Al-Qaida nor the Islamic State in Iraq has hesitated to cold-bloodedly declare their responsibility for these attacks.”

“Mr. Anjo (Iraq) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, I would like to congratulate the United States of America on its assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for this month, and to thank the delegation for its work in organizing the Security Council activities designed to coincide with the start of the sixty-ninth session of the General Assembly. We are also grateful to the delegation of the United Kingdom for its work in leading the Council last month. My delegation also commends the Secretary-General's report submitted to the Council on children and armed conflict for the period from January to December 2013 (S/2014/339) and the important role played by the Office of the Secretary-General in the issue of children and armed conflict and in monitoring children's situations and their protection.”
