  1. “Much progress has been made, but it is essential that we continue to stress the importance of respecting international humanitarian law. All parties must abide by these norms, and we need to prioritize measures to ensure accountability. In that regard, we welcome investigations at the national level and we call on States to support the work of the International Criminal Court. San Marino firmly believes that ensuring greater respect for international humanitarian law is one of the most effective ways to protect civilians.”

  2. “Furthermore, women and girls with disabilities are in particular at risk of violence and abuses. It is urgent and essential to act for the protection and assistance of those specific groups. San Marino fully supports the Secretary-General's call on parties to conflict to avoid the use of explosive weapons with wide-area effects in urban centres. These weapons cause massive suffering to civilians. They damage and destroy their homes and critical infrastructure. We firmly believe that all parties should avoid the use of such devices in populated areas, and we support the Secretary-General's call to develop a political declaration as a measure to address that threat. The Security Council has now been debating the item on today's agenda for 20 years.”

  3. “San Marino condemns those acts in the strongest terms and fully supports the development of action plans to prevent and end grave violations against children. San Marino has joined the Paris Principles and Guidelines on Children Associated with Armed Forces or Armed Groups, the Safe Schools Declaration, the Vancouver Principles and the new #ACTtoProtect campaign - important instruments aimed at protecting children in conflicts and ensuring their rehabilitation and reintegration. I would also like to highlight the disproportionate impact of armed conflict on persons with disabilities. Conflicts always cause physical impairments, primarily as a result of the use of explosive devices, which also disrupt basic services for the disabled, who are often unable to flee attacks.”

  4. “The implementation of resolution 2286 (2016), on the protection of health services in armed conflict, remains critical. San Marino also welcomes resolution 2417 (2018), which condemns the use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, as well as the unlawful denial of humanitarian access. Humanitarian space should always be respected, including in domestic counter-terrorism measures. San Marino also supports the Swiss proposal for an amendment in article 8 of the Rome Statute on the inclusion of starvation as a war crime in internal armed conflicts. The situation of vulnerable groups is of great concern, since it tends to worsen during armed conflicts. Children, for example, are being recruited as soldiers, and their schools have been attacked, destroyed or used as military facilities.”

  5. “I would like to thank the Indonesian presidency for convening this very important meeting. I would also like to thank the briefers for their presentations this morning. San Marino welcomes the latest report of the Secretary- General (S/2019/373) on the protection of civilians in armed conflict and supports its recommended measures. As we approach the seventieth anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, civilians continue to be victims of direct and indiscriminate attacks on a daily basis. They continue to be killed, targeted and forced to flee their homes. Even humanitarian and medical workers are often attacked, killed or kidnapped, and hospitals and medical facilities are bombed or looted. San Marino firmly condemns such attacks, which are in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.”
