“As the Peacebuilding Commission's co-parents, we have also asked for stronger coordination with the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council. Similarly, we call for the integration of peacebuilding work in peacekeeping operations early on, so that early efforts at peacebuilding-related work will help stabilize the situation sooner rather than later.”

“The 2010 review process of the Peacebuilding Commission has provided an excellent opportunity to engage all Member States and other interested stakeholders in seriously taking stock of the achievements and constraints of the United Nations involvement in peacebuilding. The time has come to redouble our efforts to make the United Nations peacebuilding architecture more effective and efficient in order to meet the aspirations of conflict-stricken people for peace, stability and sustained economic growth. They need constant attention here and an enhanced level of support to stabilize the situation and make peace sustainable. We believe that the Peacebuilding Commission needs to be fully consulted by the Security Council whenever the country in question is discussed here.”

“The adoption of resolutions 1325 (2000) and 1820 (2008) have not only drawn the attention of all Member States to act concertedly for protecting women and children from violence during conflicts, but also emphasized the role of women as peacemakers and peacebuilders. The report of the Secretary-General rightly identified women's role as partners in shoring up the three pillars of lasting peace: economic recovery, social cohesion and political legitimacy. We support a greater role for women in peacebuilding, including the promotion of gender equality within the work of the United Nations. The legal provision for ensuring women's representation in political bodies, gender mainstreaming, empowerment, affirmative action and targeted programmes are some of the essential measures to bring women to the forefront of every walk of life.”

“To strengthen the coordination between the United Nations and the World Bank, my delegation supports the call for creating a mechanism for regular, headquarters-level consultations on crisis and post- crisis countries of common concern on the basis of the 2008 Partnership Framework Agreement. Women should not be on the receiving end of the pains of conflict, with all the psycho-social trauma and stigmatization that entails. They are peacemakers and they are the very foundation of social cohesion and the long-term sustainability of peace. They are an inherent part of the reconstruction and rebuilding of any country.”

“The efforts of the national and international community in the early post-conflict period should ensure predictable support in the core areas of peacebuilding, namely, basic safety and security, support to the political process, the provision of basic services, restoring core government functions and economic revitalization. A fair balance between them is necessary to quickly stabilize the situation. The United Nations is not a lone player in the field of peacebuilding. International financial institutions, particularly the World Bank, regional organizations and civil society organizations have important roles to play on their respective fields.”

“The working group on lessons learned of the Peacebuilding Commission has come out with a recommendation that the implementation of quick- impact projects is critically important. This is necessary to deliver something concrete for conflict- stricken people in the form of peace dividends. Unemployed youth in the immediate aftermath of conflict are a great source of trouble and violence. Youth employment, income-generating rural work and essential services must receive the highest priority. This will greatly contribute to creating an environment for sustained peace and economic growth.”

“Peacebuilding interposes itself between security and development, and it takes the two aspects together to ensure the sustainability of peace in countries emerging from conflict. It is therefore important that we look at both aspects clearly and coherently. A one-size-fits-all approach does not work in peacebuilding. The international community has to look into the socio-cultural, economic and political aspects with deep insight in order to ensure the success of the mission. Continued political dialogues among stakeholders, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, security sector reforms, legislative reform and institution-building for governance are part of the transformation process.”

“Let me congratulate you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of October. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to you for organizing this timely meeting. I also thank the Secretary-General for presenting his comprehensive report on peacebuilding in the immediate aftermath of conflict (S/2010/386) and on women's participation in peacebuilding (S/2010/466). Building peace is far more than just making and keeping the peace. It is a multifaceted and long-term task that requires national commitment, ownership and coordinated, coherent and integrated international support. Building national capacity to take charge of governance and development activities is fundamental to the peacebuilding task.”

“We also believe that the de-listing process should begin sooner rather than later, as the report of the Secretary-General explicitly notes that there were no cases of recruitment or use, killing and maiming of children or sexual violence against children by the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist during the reporting period.”

“Clause 7.6 of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement contains the commitment of the Government of Nepal and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist that both sides fully agree to provide special protection to the rights of children, prohibit sexual exploitation and not to recruit or use children in the armed forces. Above all, Article 22 of the 2007 Interim Constitution of Nepal guarantees that no minor shall be employed in factories, mines or any other such hazardous work or shall be used in the army, police or in conflicts. In concluding my statement, I wish to assure the Council that the Government of Nepal is fully committed to discharging its responsibilities in a sustained manner to protect and promote the rights of children affected by armed conflict.”

“As a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols, Nepal has adopted the necessary legal instruments and established a legal and administrative framework for the promotion and protection of the rights of the child. The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare, along with its subsidiary body the Central Child Welfare Board, and its well-established network of district child welfare boards and women's development offices in all 75 districts of the country, have been implementing various programmes for the promotion of the rights of the child. Children affected in conflict and girl children have been given high priority.”

“Carrying the peace process forward, the Government of Nepal and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist signed the action plan on 16 December 2009 for releasing minor combatants. The process of releasing began on 7 January and ended on 8 February 2010. We appreciate the role of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, the United Nations Mission in Nepal and the United Nations country team for their involvement in this process. The Government of Nepal expresses its commitment to operationalizing the national plan of action for the reintegration and rehabilitation of children affected by the armed conflict.”

“What is true is that there is no short cut to address this grave problem. It has to be dealt with in a comprehensive and collaborative manner with the involvement of national Governments, the international community, civil society and all other relevant stakeholders by devising immediate actions for preventing the violators from recruiting, abusing and misusing children in conflict. In the meantime, planning for longer-term policies addressing, among others, universal access to education and health, development, care and support of every child in society, is essential to ensuring the rights of children. After the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement on 21 November 2006, Nepal's peace process has reached several milestones of historic importance.”

“At times, armed outfits recruit children into their armed groups and misuse them, including through sexual abuse. The maiming and killing of children become routine features for armed groups that are bent on spreading terror in society. National Governments should be responsible for enacting the necessary laws and enforcing them through effective mechanisms to ensure the promotion and protection of the rights of children and to bring the perpetrators to justice. The international community should come forward with the needed mandate and resources to protect this vulnerable section of society during the time of conflict. Effective national measures and international cooperation are essential to curbing the persistent violations of the rights of the child and to provide remedial measures to the affected children.”

“Let me first congratulate you, Sir, on assuming the presidency of the Council for the month of June. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to you for organizing this open debate on the important issue of children and armed conflict. We have taken note of the report of the Secretary- General on children and armed conflict (S/2010/ 181), and we appreciate the presentation this morning by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ms. Radhika Coomaraswamy, on the subject. We welcome the fact that the Security Council has adopted various resolutions, including the resolution 1612 (2005), with regard to the protection and promotion of the rights of children affected by armed conflict. Children are the most vulnerable sector of society during conflict.”
