  1. As we end our presidency, I know I speak on behalf of the Council in wishing the delegation of China good luck in the month of February. The meeting rose at 6.05 pm.

  2. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. Before adjourning the meeting, I would like to express the sincere appreciation of the delegation of Chile to the members of the Council, especially my colleagues the Permanent Representatives and their respective staffs, and to the secretariat of the Council for all the support they have given to us. Indeed, it has been a busy month, and one in which we rallied to consensus on several important issues within our purview. We could not have done it alone and without the hard work, support and positive contributions of every delegation and the representatives of the Secretariat, as well as all relevant conference service officers.

  4. I wish to inform all concerned that we will be carrying this open debate right through the lunch hour, as we have a very large number of speakers. I now give the floor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden. I would also like to extend our sincere condolences on the passing away of our friend, Mr. Marten Grunditz.

  5. We trust that this debate will strengthen political support to achieve the effective protection of civilians in the terms enshrined in international law, international human rights law and international humanitarian law. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to be able to carry out its work expeditiously. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate their texts in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I would also like to appeal to speakers to deliver their statements at a normal speed so that interpretation may be provided properly.

  6. We are convinced of the need for synergy between this review and those related to the peacebuilding architecture, peacekeeping operations and the special political missions of the Secretary- General. It would also be useful to conduct a working meeting to analyse and recommend practical measures that would complement the incorporation of the protection of women and girls and a gender perspective into the architecture to protect civilians within the United Nations. As part of the agenda for the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016, a fourth topic, focused on addressing the needs of persons in conflict, could be an interesting vehicle to consider these issues.

  7. Gender must be mainstreamed throughout international peace and security decision-making bodies, mechanisms and processes, and integrated into the formulation and implementation of the mission mandates and the work of the Council. That should include briefings from the relevant organizations and Special Envoys as a preventive and early-warning mechanism. The Council's upcoming 2015 high-level review to measure progress on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and the global study on its implementation provide an opportunity to take advantage of the experience we have gained and to improve the capabilities of States and of the United Nations system in this area.

  8. This should be part of a broader set of measures to prevent violence against women in armed conflict or post-conflict situations, guaranteeing reparations for and the reintegration of victims, as well as fighting against impunity. These concerns must not be left out as we build a comprehensive post-2015 development agenda. Resolution 1325 (2000), together with its related resolutions, constitutes a turning point for addressing the major impact of armed conflict on women and girls, who are victims of violence and surrounded by barriers, discrimination and inequality. The document also provides solutions in terms of participation, protection, prevention and post-conflict recovery - the so-called "four Ps" - which must be supported with sustainable budgets for their implementation.

  9. We welcome the contributions of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to make available to those providing assistance concrete programmes and measures to ensure the protection of women and girls such as promoting the equal protection of women before the law and their access to justice; integrating women in all peace processes and peace agreements; and ensuring their participation in the planning and implementation of recovery and reconstruction programmes in post- conflict rehabilitation. The United Nations and the Security Council must take a rights-based approach in addressing the multidimensional character of gender issues, thus rejecting relativism and disregard for universal rights.

  10. Serious violations and abuses of human rights and international humanitarian law, such as those committed by Boko Haram, in particular against women and girls, including abductions, are abhorrent acts and must cease. We reiterate the call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, including the school-age girls abducted in April 2014.

  11. The challenges of protecting women and girls in armed conflicts and their aftermath call for us to help promote and ensure the equality of women before the law and justice. In that context, all discriminatory provisions against women that increase their vulnerability in conflict situations, such as those relating to citizenship and access to land, must be repealed. It is crucial to address threats to women's safety by promoting and protecting their rights and by empowering them to fully enjoy those rights, taking account of the particular needs. Likewise, we must eradicate practices that are unacceptable regardless of sociocultural or religious context, such as the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. During 2014, the Council addressed humanitarian situations affecting millions of women and girls, many of them displaced or refugees.

  12. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Chile. My delegation aligns itself with the statement to be delivered by the representative of Austria on behalf of the Human Security Network. Chile proposed this open debate on the challenges of protecting women and girls in armed conflict and post-conflict situations because the protection of civilians in armed conflict is one of the most pressing issues before the Security Council. Promoting respect for humanitarian principles is among our shared actions and responsibilities to protect civilians - obligations that the United Nations assumes when a State is unable or unwilling to apply these principles.

  13. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2015/32, which contains a letter dated 16 January 2015 from the Permanent Representative of Chile to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary- General, transmitting a concept note on the item under consideration. I now give the floor to Ms. Kang.

  14. Kyung-wha Kang, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator; Ms. Helen Durham, Director for International Law and Policy at the International Committee of the Red Cross; and Ms. Ilwad Elman of the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security. In accordance with rule 39 of the Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite His Excellency Mr. Ioannis Vrailas, Deputy Head of the Delegation of the European Union to the United Nations, to participate in this meeting. I propose that the Council invite the Charge' d'affaires ad interim of the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations to participate in this meeting, in accordance with the provisional rules of procedure and the previous practice in this regard. There being no objection, it is so decided.
