  1. “Many challenges lie ahead, and we must therefore strengthen the commitment of the Security Council and the United Nations system in general.”

  2. “Last year, the Deputy Secretary-General visited Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which was very significant for the joint work of the United Nations and the African Union. That type of approach is very important for the implementation of the gender, peace and security programme on the African continent, as well as for the strengthening of other existing mechanisms. We also highlight the establishment of the Hybrid Court for South Sudan, which was set up through a peace agreement led by the African Union, with technical support from the United Nations. Despite the time it is taking to implement, it is a collaborative initiative that we should continue to encourage. That said, we believe that we have good tools for continuing our struggle against sexual violence.”

  3. “It is key to promote the participation of women in peace, security and development processes, and to include in the agreements specific content on the inclusion of women, the fight against sexual violence and the elimination of impunity. The political empowerment of women should be promoted by States through concrete measures that transform the conditions of abuse and discrimination in which women, minorities and rural populations live. Afghanistan has provided a good example of legal and constitutional transformation for women in its work to implement its national action plan for Afghan women, which has proved to be an encouraging development, despite the fact that major challenges remain. Similarly, close cooperation with regional organizations is also of the utmost importance.”

  4. “However, it is clear that, in order to promote such measures, we must first address the root causes of conflict, reduce structural inequalities, combat extreme poverty and eradicate the discrimination that patriarchal systems have left entrenched in society and that prevent women from enjoying unhindered personal development and access to justice. Prevention is a very important tool that the Secretary-General has been promoting over the past year. Increasing the cooperation between the United Nations and civil society is essential for prevention, in order to access more specific information that will enable us to carry out more reliable analyses of the situation.”

  5. “Likewise, the increasing risk of sexual violence in refugee camps and during displacement is another challenge with which the international community must grapple. Insecurity during displacement, lack of access to basic services for refugees and the prolongation of conflicts that impede a safe return are all difficult conditions that millions of people now experience. An example is the situation on the border between Myanmar and Bangladesh. We highlight Bangladesh's goodwill in providing refuge to the Rohingya people, and we encourage Myanmar to continue working with the United Nations to ensure the safe, voluntary, dignified and sustainable return of the displaced persons. We believe that women's empowerment as a preventive measure, access to justice and accountability are fundamental elements in the fight against sexual violence.”

  6. “Although sexual violence in conflict knows no gender, it mostly affects women and girls, who are subjected to rape, sexual slavery, prostitution, forced marriage and sterilization, trafficking in persons and other forms of violence with terrible consequences for the physical and psychological well-being of the victims. Very often, instead of receiving protection and assistance, they are marginalized and rejected in their own communities. We agree with the Secretary-General that the use of sexual violence as a tactic of war and terrorism is most alarming. In that regard, the international community must work together to support national initiatives geared towards the social reintegration of survivors and their children so that they can fully enjoy their rights.”

  7. “Despite those resolutions, however, sexual violence in conflict continues to be a cruel reality in the daily lives of millions of people. It is imperative that the Security Council be resolute in the implementation of its resolutions on combating sexual violence in conflict by promoting accountability and implementing the zero-tolerance policy. We believe that the Secretary-General's suggestions in his recent report (S/2018/250) are correct, especially with regard to including sexual violence in the designation criteria for sanctions and in ensuring that the sanctions committees can access information from an expert on gender and conflict-related sexual violence.”

  8. “Bolivia believes that conflict-related sexual violence is one of the most heinous acts against humanity because its emotional and physical consequences continue to affect its survivors long after the conflicts end. The international community must band together to tackle this problem and coordinate its efforts to implement measures at the national, regional and international levels. Over the past 18 years, the Security Council has been developing a series of resolutions that attempt to provide a comprehensive response to sexual violence in conflict, which indubitably poses a serious threat to international security and a real impediment to the achievement of peace in countries that are victims of armed confrontation.”

  9. “Ms. Cardona Moscoso (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): Conflict-related sexual violence involves a series of crimes against humanity that have devastating and irreversible consequences for its victims. The Security Council must address the issue on a more regular basis, which is why we thank the presidency of Peru for its initiative in convening this open debate. We would also like to thank Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed for her leadership in making this issue more visible. Moreover, we thank Ms. Pramila Patten, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, and Ms. Razia Sultana for their briefings.”

  10. “We therefore state our full support for the Kabul Process, which, under the leadership of the Government of Afghanistan, seeks to achieve peace, security and sustainability in the country for the benefit all Afghans.”

  11. “Accordingly, Bolivia believes that the success of subregional, regional, interregional, and international projects, platforms and programmes must be framed by unequivocal respect for increasing the representation of women at all decision-making levels in national, regional and international institutions and mechanisms for the prevention, management and resolution of conflict pursuant to resolution 1325 (2000). Lastly, we urge against any military solution to the situation in Afghanistan, and we join any initiative that promotes inclusive dialogue that is predicated on respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of other countries.”

  12. “The fact that over the past several months many families have been displaced without any immediate prospect of returning to their homes in a safe and dignified manner remains an issue that the Security Council must continue to prioritize. In that regard, we call on the countries of the region to step up their commitment to share information and documentation that will ensure those people's voluntary, informed, dignified, safe and permanent return to their places of origin, and, at all costs, safeguard against a repetition of circumstances leading to their return to insecurity or areas that are inappropriate for them.”

  13. “We believe that the time is ripe for the parties concerned to take proactive steps and move forward in view of the holding of the 2018 elections. We encourage the efforts by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan together with its Central Asian neighbours to promote mechanisms and platforms for regional, interregional and international cooperation to achieve peace, stability and long-term sustainable development, as well as actions to promote connectivity linking trade policies, finance, infrastructure improvement and trade among Afghanistan, Central Asian countries and other regions. We hope that the instability that Afghanistan is experiencing will shed its fragility so as to provide the stable environment needed for the holding of transparent and inclusive elections in the near future.”

  14. “The potential threat to the security and stability of Afghanistan will continue so long as the threat of terrorist organizations, such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant-Khorsan Province - which was responsible for several other attacks not only in Kabul, but also in the eastern province ofNangarhar-maintain their presence in Khorsan province and continue to resist the efforts by Afghan and international armed forces. Bolivia expresses its condemnation in the strongest terms of all terrorist acts, regardless of the group or entity that seeks to impose its ideology. We also express our concern about the prolonged stalemate in the political dialogue between the National Unity Government of Afghanistan and the Jamiat-e-Islami political party.”

  15. “That visit reaffirmed our commitment to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, as well as to carrying outjoint activities aimed at the implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy so as to prevent violent extremism. Nevertheless, we must express our deep concern about the increase in violent incidents that began this year owing to the various attacks against civilians, nearly one third of whom were children. It is essential that the negotiations move forward to avoid any further undermining of a peaceful settlement in the region. As clearly stated in the report of the Secretary- General (S/2018/165), the political volatility has been exacerbated and created a sense of insecurity in the community, particularly among the residents of Kabul, who were targeted by a wave of suicide attacks in January.”

  16. “The involvement of women in the current process is particularly relevant owing to the fact that they are often the ones primarily responsible for their families while seeking to ensure their well-being. Now, however, they are taking on leadership roles in seeking peace in Afghanistan. Our inclusion in all areas is not only required to bring about sustainable development, but also to bring about the peace and security for which we strive so mightily in the Security Council, the Organization and throughout the world. As the Deputy Chairperson of Afghanistan's High Peace Council put it, "peace without women's meaningful participation is impossible". Bolivia wishes once again to underscore the mission undertaken by the Security Council to Kabul in January, during which we were able to witness the people work to rebuild their country.”

  17. “It is an honour for me to be able to represent Bolivian women today. The women in my country are a symbol of determination and strength, which are qualities that have long gone unnoticed. Let us remember that today is not a day of festivities, but one that commemorates the struggle for women's' rights. Bolivia pays tribute to those women for all their fortitude, in particular for moving forward in conflict situations as in the case of the women of Afghanistan. We should recognize all their work not only today 4 on International Women's Day. That recognition should always be conveyed, but not just in speeches, but also in the form of concrete actions that empower women. That is the best way to honour them. The role of women is a priority component in the development and unity of Afghan society.”

  18. “Ms. Cardona Moscoso (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): I would first like to welcome Ms. Sigrid Kaag, Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, to the Security Council, in her role presiding over today's important debate on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). I would also like to thank her delegation for its work in ensuring the adoption today ofresolution 2405 (2018). We also thank Mr. Tadamichi Yamamoto, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, Ms. Habiba Sarabi, Deputy Chairperson of the High Peace Council and Ms. Mariam Safi, Executive Director of the Organization for Policy Research and Development Studies, for their briefings.”
