  1. “The Government of San Marino appreciates the work of national non-governmental organizations in their efforts to prevent the use of child soldiers and for the promotion of children’s rights. I would like to express San Marino’s unwavering support for the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict and of her Office. We welcome the new action plans and commitments that have been signed or that are in progress. No child should ever live the horror of war. That should not be forgotten. Ultimately, children are the root of peace, and we should therefore invest in them, their safety and their future.”

  2. “San Marino is deeply concerned in that regard, and we therefore immediately endorsed the recently adopted Political Declaration on Strengthening the Protection of Civilians from the Humanitarian consequences Arising from the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas and encourage all States to do the same and to abide by its commitments. We reiterate the importance of accountability for all grave violations against children and of refusing to accept impunity for the perpetrators of such violations. The international community has the duty not only to stop and prevent those violations, but also to assist child victims and work for their reintegration.”

  3. “We call on all Member States to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict. We also encourage all parties to support other important tools such as the Paris Principles and Commitments and the Vancouver Principles. Civilians and civilian infrastructure must be respected. San Marino is extremely concerned about the disregard we are seeing for international humanitarian law. We call on all parties to strictly abide by international humanitarian and human rights law. Furthermore, the use of explosive weapons in populated areas has resulted in increases in the numbers of deaths, physical injuries and trauma among civilians, including children, who subsequently find themselves unable to return to their daily lives even after a conflict ends.”

  4. “Armed conflict continues to devastate children’s lives and compromise their fundamental rights. The report shows a disturbing increase in attacks on schools and hospitals, which is unacceptable. San Marino firmly condemns attacks on schools and hospitals, as well as their use for military purposes. Children’s right to health care and education are fundamental and should always be preserved. We reiterate our support for the Safe Schools Declaration. Educational facilities should be a safe place for all children, students and teachers. Education is a powerful tool for peace and should therefore be supported and respected. San Marino is also very concerned about the substantial increase in the recruitment and use of child soldiers.”

  5. “I would like to thank the delegation of the United Kingdom for convening this important meeting, the Secretary-General for his annual report (S/2023/363) and the briefers for their presentations. San Marino aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Children and Armed Conflict and with the statement delivered on behalf of the European Union. We firmly support the children and armed conflict agenda and call on all armed forces and armed groups listed in the report’s annexes to engage constructively with the United Nations to develop and implement action plans to end and prevent grave violations against children. San Marino is particularly worried about the high number of grave violations against children described this year in the Secretary-General’s report.”

  6. “We should not forget that we can make a huge difference in the lives of these boys and girls. By helping children in conflicts, we are sowing the seeds for a better and more peaceful world.”

  7. “Finally, this year San Marino signed on to the Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers, another important instrument for the prevention of the recruitment of children as soldiers. We are extremely pleased about the release of more than 13,000 children from armed forces and armed groups. We would like to commend the work of the Office of the Under-Secretary-General for its dedication and tireless efforts. We need to continue along this path and raise awareness, free children from recruitment, stop the horrific violations, support children's recovery from conflict-related trauma and work systematically for their rehabilitation. Protecting children should be an integral part of any peace process.”

  8. “We believe that education is a powerful tool for peace. As such, it should be supported, respected and promoted. We therefore urge other countries to join this instrument. San Marino believes that the most vulnerable groups deserve special attention. We therefore sponsored the recently adopted resolution 2475 (2019), with its focus on the needs of children with disabilities in times of conflict. San Marino also supports the ACT to protect children affected by conflict campaign, which seeks to increase awareness about the six grave violations against boys and girls, including how to stop and prevent them. It is fundamental to raise awareness, improve the conditions of affected children and prevent future crimes against them.”

  9. “The use of such weapons in urban warfare is also destroying their homes and vital infrastructure, such as hospitals, schools and water- and electricity-supply systems. These attacks cause a disruption of basic services in the daily lives of civilians. Boys and girls have to flee their homes. They cannot go to school or receive the medical attention they need. Furthermore, schools have been targeted or used by armed forces for military purposes. As a result, students have been denied their right to learn and to have a better future. We firmly condemn such acts, which deprive boys and girls of their right to an education. San Marino recently joined the Safe Schools Declaration, a political commitment to better protect students, teachers, schools and universities during war, with the aim of enabling young people to continue their education.”

  10. “While August marks the lO-year anniversary of resolution 1882 (2009), it is regrettable that children in armed conflicts continue to pay a very high price 4 they continue to be killed, maimed, raped, abducted and recruited as soldiers. In addition, more and more children are living in areas of war. Because of prolonged conflicts in densely populated areas, civilians, including children, are under direct attack. We express our deepest concern for the high number of boys and girls killed and maimed by indiscriminate attacks against civilians, and we urge all parties to uphold their obligations under international law. Many children have been killed, injured and traumatized by the use of explosive weapons.”

  11. “San Marino aligns itself with the statement delivered previously by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Children and Armed Conflict. First of all, I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this debate, and would like to thank the briefers for their contributions. I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his annual report (S/2019/509). This year's report indicates once again that an enormous number of grave violations persist across the world. We firmly condemn such violations and continue to support the children and armed conflict agenda and mandate. We welcome the effective implementation of existing action plans and the signing of new ones.”

  12. “Those children should finally be given a chance to build their own futures and to become actors of peace for our communities.”

  13. “As previous speakers have done, I would like to reiterate that protecting children affected by armed conflict can contribute to conflict prevention and sustaining peace. In that regard, placing children at the heart of peace processes is crucial. If we want to prevent their re-recruitment, effective reintegration is essential. We must put in place long-term alternatives to military life and support them through educational and vocational programmes, so that we can finally break the cycle of violence, consolidate peace and prevent conflicts from recurring. San Marino commends the work of Ms. Virginia Gamba and her Office and welcomes the action plans signed in 2017. We all need to do more to safeguard the protection of children and promote their rights.”

  14. “While calling all parties to fully comply with international humanitarian law and human rights law, we also reiterate that it is crucial that the international community renew its engagement on the children and armed conflict agenda. San Marino has ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict and has endorsed the Paris Commitments. San Marino calls for the endorsement and ratification of the relevant international instruments that strengthen the protection of children in armed conflict. Respect for those instruments is key in order to protect civilians caught up in conflict. Today I am glad to announce that my country will join the Safe Schools Declaration, an important instrument for the protection of education facilities from military use during conflict.”

  15. “Moreover, the repeated attacks on schools and hospitals and the denial of humanitarian access as a tactic of war clearly show that civilians, and in particular children, are vulnerable and very likely to be subject to abuses and grave violations. Unfortunately, children pay a very heavy price in armed conflicts. In the past year, children, boys and girls, were killed, maimed, abducted, raped and used as human shields, and many of them were recruited as soldiers. Furthermore, their schools have were targeted and destroyed, thereby denying children their basic rights, while health facilities were attacked and damaged, depriving them of the assistance they need.”

I would also like to thank the Secretary-General for his commitment and his annual report (S/2018/465), and I would like to reiterate San Marino's support for the Security Council's children and armed conflict mandate. The Secretary-General's report has documented a very alarming trend: in 2017 there was a massive increase in violations against children.”
