  1. “We reiterate our adherence to the Santiago Communique of 2018 and urge Member States to adhere to the Oslo Safe Schools Declaration of 2015. Finally, the Republic of Paraguay condemns disregard for the fundamental norms of international humanitarian law and international human rights law by parties to conflicts, in particular the practices of starvation of the civilian population as a method of warfare, restrictions on humanitarian access and the protection of civilians, and undermining the institution of asylum and the principle of non-refoulement.”

  2. “It is imperative that both the Security Council and States Members of the Organization, regardless of their status as parties to conflicts, contribute to establishing an effective system for the protection of civilians in armed conflict. In its effort to contribute to comprehensive political and legal frameworks for the protection ofcivilians in armed conflict, the Republic of Paraguay recently ratified the Kampala amendments to the Rome Statute, thereby reaffirming its commitment to cooperation with the International Criminal Court in order to address and prevent impunity by ensuring justice and reparation for victims of international crimes. We also support the Secretary-General's proposal to Member States to participate constructively in the development of a political declaration on the use of explosive weapons in populated areas.”

  3. “We further emphasize that education and training in international humanitarian law and international human rights law to stop and prevent acts of violence, attacks and threats against civilians are critical to improving the system for the protection of civilians. In the context of peacekeeping operations, we stress the need for military and police personnel to receive general training on the protection of civilians in armed conflict prior to their deployment to missions, in line with the needs of the location where they will be deployed. The training of contingents once deployed in host countries should only be complementary to that received in the country of origin.”

  4. “Mr. Carrillo Gomez (Paraguay) (spoke in Spanish): On behalf of the delegation of the Republic of Paraguay, I am grateful for the report of the Secretary- General (S/2019/373) on the protection of civilians in armed conflict and for the initiative by the Indonesian presidency to convene this open debate. We believe that, with regard to the Security Council, the protection of civilians in armed conflict must be clearly and explicitly included in the mandates of peacekeeping operations. That protection must be a priority in situations where civilians are at high risk of violence and must also be explicit with regard to protection against sexual violence, in its broadest sense, and the specific protection of children and adolescents in armed conflict. The existing mandates of peacekeeping missions must also be amended in that regard.”

  5. “In that context, the Republic of Paraguay, through the Ministry of Women, will convene an inter-institutional working group to update Paraguay's national action plan 2013-2017 with a View to implementing resolution 1325 (2000) on women and peace and security and re-evaluating it for the upcoming period.”

  6. “Incorporating women into traditionally male roles has been accompanied by active State measures, such as the creation of public policies that are supported by relevant legislation and the provision of the infrastructure necessary for the smooth running of military activity, while making arrangements for the unique needs of women. Through the national education system, the Paraguayan Government has also promoted the population's awareness of the importance of the participation of women in areas traditionally reserved for men. Finally, we welcome the call made to Member States to assume new commitments for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) on the twentieth anniversary of its adoption.”

  7. “In our experience, including women at different levels of decision-making has been a challenging process but one that continues to progress steadily. For example, since 2006, Paraguayan female career officers have been able to graduate from military academy, serving in almost all specialist areas of the army, the air force and the navy. Many of those women have been deployed as part of the Paraguayan contingents in United Nations peacekeeping operations. Women will organically reach the highest ranks of the military, occupy the corresponding positions at different levels of command and be deployed in the country's various military secondments.”

  8. “Mr. Carrillo Gomez (Paraguay) (spoke in Spanish): On behalf of the delegation of the Republic of Paraguay, I welcome the Secretary-General's report (S/2019/280) on conflict-related sexual violence and the initiative of the German presidency of the Council to convene this debate and to begin commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) - a framework resolution aimed at encouraging the representation of women at all levels of decision-making for the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts. Like the Secretary-General in his report, we acknowledge that, in order to prevent sexual violence, it is necessary to promote substantive gender equality before, during and after conflicts.”

  9. “The Council must incorporate prevention mechanisms and protocols into mandates with a view to aiding victims and ensuring that those who recruit or use children in armed conflicts are held accountable.”

  10. “The priority must be a focus on the best interests of the child, implemented through legislation and special jurisdiction, with specialized courts, judges, prosecutors and public defenders and the advice of interdisciplinary professionals on all cases involving children in any capacity. In Paraguay, a network of municipal departments supports that system through preventive efforts for protecting, promoting and supervising the best interests of the child, as well as implementing measures for child protection and support such as giving children and their families guidance and support and providing schooling and health care, including psychological help. Lastly, with regard to the Security Council, special protection for children in armed conflicts must be a priority and a clear and explicit part of peacekeeping operation mandates.”

  11. “To that end, the Governments of Paraguay and Colombia are cooperating on the implementation of the Peace Agreement between the Government of Colombia and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia- Ejercito del Pueblo through a cultural exchange programme to prevent the recruitment and use of minors by armed groups and foster social inclusion, peaceful coexistence and intercultural dialogue through music. As part of that cooperation initiative, Paraguayan teachers have organized training activities in Colombia for teachers and students of the harp in San Jose de Guaviare and Puerto Carrefio in Vichada department. The design of institutional frameworks for reintegrating boys and girls who are the victims of armed conflict, or for caring for refugee children, must provide for children's comprehensive protection.”

  12. “Paraguay highlights the relevance of the 2007 Paris Principles and Commitments to protect children from unlawful recruitment or use by armed forces or armed groups and the Safe Schools Declaration for the protection of children in armed conflicts, endorsed in Oslo in 2015 and to which we adhere. We urge Member States to accede to those instruments and take concrete action to implement them. At the same time, Member States and the United Nations system must collaborate closely with States in conflict and post-conflict situations to strengthen their institutional capacities and tackle the challenges posed by children's involvement in armed conflicts.”

  13. “The delegation of Paraguay therefore urges Member States, first of all, to ratify or accede to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and its amendments, and the Protocols Additional to the 1949 Geneva Conventions relating to the protection of victims of international and non-international armed conflicts. We also urge all members of the international community to refrain from any act that is contrary to the aims and purposes of those international instruments.”

  14. “Mr. Carrillo Gomez (Paraguay) (spoke in Spanish): I have the honour to deliver this statement on behalf of the delegation of the Republic of Paraguay, which appreciates the initiative of the French presidency of the Security Council in convening today's open debate. We thank the Secretary-General and the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict for their briefings. Universalizing our commitments on the protection of children in armed conflicts will be fundamental to the international community's ability to respond in a comprehensive and coordinated manner to every aspect of that scourge.”
