  1. “Those children were relatively lucky; they were able to escape. At the same time, inside Syria, during seven years of war, thousands of children have been killed. I myself am a father, and I am certainly not the only parent in this Chamber. Images of children affected by war should leave no one unmoved. Despite any differences between us, we should at least have one thing in common: the belief that protecting children should come first. Yet, such protection is lacking. The Syrian crisis is, above all, a protection crisis - a grave violation of the long-established norm to protect civilians and their belongings in the time of war. Together, we -the international community-have expressed our determination to prevent conflict and save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.”

  2. “I thank Mr. Lowcock for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Recently, a Dutch photographer working with Save the Children published a photo album featuring 48 Syrian children, all seven years old. Those photos were school portraits, like we all had taken when we were young. The children were born in Syria, but they had to flee. They are as old as the Syrian war, so they have never seen their country at peace. Their memories of their homeland are fading. Sometimes they cannot remember their country at all, nor their family members left behind. But by giving those young children a public face, the photographer has tried to restore some of the dignity sacrificed to a war in which all humanity seems lost. I have here a photo of Nour.”

  6. “The Mission is becoming increasing mobile and agile. We are therefore pleased with the emphasis on the importance of community engagement, key enablers and early warning and response. These are conditions for the successful implementation of the strategic review. We look forward to the comprehensive performance review and efforts to improve the Mission's effectiveness. Lastly, the Netherlands fully supports the request to the Secretary-General to carry out contingency planning. That could be a vital tool for preventing the conflict from escalating. This is a crucial year for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as the country prepares itself for its first-ever democratic transfer of power.”

  7. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the Netherlands. Today the Security Council sends a strong signal that it stands united in support of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). In particular, the Council has reaffirmed the political and technical support that MONUSCO will give to the electoral process. The Kingdom of the Netherlands firmly believes that MONUSCO can and must contribute to the restoration of trust among all parties. We also welcome the clear benchmarks for the electoral process. We will continue to monitor them, together with the implementation of the 31 December political agreement. We also welcome the addition of a provision on the protection of peaceful demonstrators as part of the protection-of-civilians mandate.”
