  1. “1 am happy to report that yesterday our parliament adopted a very comprehensive law against violence against women. San Marino, a small country without an army, has been able to maintain its independence for more than 17 centuries. We condemn war and violence in general, but, more than anything else, we condemn violence against women and girls. Our women are the pillars of our society and of our families, and our families are the cornerstone of our society. Allowing violence against women destroys the very fabric of our society and all the dreams for our children's peaceful and prosperous future. We are very proud to be among the sponsors of today's Security Council draft resolution on this very important matter.”

  2. “I would like to thank the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Ms. Condoleezza Rice, and you, Mr. President, for convening this important meeting today. Over the years, the Republic of San Marino has been a strong supporter of all campaigns against any type of violence against women. As President of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, our Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Fiorenzo Stolfi, spearheaded the Council of Europe campaign against violence against women. San Marino welcomes the now United Nations initiative on this subject initiated by the Secretary- General. In that context, we recently organized an event here at the United Nations, linking the work of the Council of Europe with the activities of this Organization.”

  3. “They must bring to justice the criminals who take advantage of those youths. Article 24, paragraph 1, of the United Nations Charter states that 3 "Members confer on the Security Council primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, and agree that in carrying out its duties under this responsibility the Security Council acts on their behalf." As a Member, I cannot think of a more compelling duty for the Council than to stop armed conflict carried out by child warriors. San Marino, along with, I am sure, the vast majority of Member States, asks the Council to implement effectively and without delay resolution 1612 (2005). What, in fact, is more important for the Security Council than to protect the right of so many children to enjoy happy and fruitful lives?”

  4. “That child, who is, in fact, the prey of hatred and violence, will destroy not only his own future, but the growth of our collective well-being. We have to stop the diabolic and vicious cycle that obliterates the lives of our children. We have to forge moral values and provide hope and future aspirations for a decent life, so that we do not allow the armed conflicts to continue - or to develop in the first place. We applaud the establishment of the Security Council Working Group chaired by France, and we commend Ambassador de La Sabliere for his excellent work. However, we believe that more can be done. We believe the Security Council, the Governments of the affected States, the relevant United Nations agencies and the non-governmental organizations must improve their working methods and more forcefully prevent such abuses.”

  5. “One year ago, Security Council resolution 1612 (2005) was adopted, providing the mandate for the establishment of a monitoring and reporting mechanism on children in armed conflict. Unfortunately, since then more children around the world have been mentally, physically and sexually abused or even maimed. More have become killer children, or children killed. Those numbers are growing at a catastrophic pace. San Marino has decided to take the floor on this issue because it believes it is one of the most important issues at stake. Every time that a child is abused or killed, not only does a human life end, but also his or her dreams and his or her contribution to his or her family and society as well. When a child is forced to become a killer for whatever reason - whether religious, political, or ethnic - an even greater crime is committed.”
