  1. “We would like to support the recommendations of the Secretary-General set out in his report, especially those regarding equal weight to all categories of grave violations against children, not just those related to preventing the recruitment of children by armed forces or groups; support for countries in implementing the monitoring and reporting mechanism within the framework of resolution 1612 (2005); the possibility of targeted measures against parties that continue to commit grave violations against children; and immediate consideration of the grave humanitarian, human rights and development consequences of cluster munitions.”

  2. “It is also important that national authorities, who are responsible for ending impunity, prosecute those who violate the rights of children in their territories. Particular attention should be given to the situation of children in post-conflict situations.”

  3. “In addition, in armed conflicts there is organ trafficking, separation of families and the indirect effects such as the loss of basic services, including provision of drinking water, sanitation and health and education services, and also increased poverty, malnutrition and disease and the terrible psychological impact of war on children. Among the signs of progress, the report of the Secretary-General points to major precedents for ending impunity for those who commit crimes against children, such as the confirmation of charges against various suspects by the International Criminal Court and the pronouncement of sentences by the Special Court for Sierra Leone, including with regard to ending the recruitment of children by the forces in conflict in Cote d'Ivoire.”

  4. “Those include the recruitment of children and internal displacement; cross-border incursions by armed groups to recruit children in refugee camps; the targeting of girls and boys alike for sexual and gender-based violence, including rape; the growing frequency of children being detained for their alleged link to armed groups, in contravention of international norms, concerning which the Secretary-General cites instances in countries on three continents; systematic and deliberate attacks on students, teachers and schools, particularly schools for girls, with the aim of preventing them from studying; and the use of weapons with indiscriminate effect, including cluster munitions, in areas with civilian populations, with serious consequences, particularly for children and long after conflicts have ended.”

  5. “According to the Gospel of Saint Matthew, Jesus Christ, in a discussion with his apostles at which they argued about which among them was the most important, placed a child in their midst and said "unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (The Holy Bible, Matthew 18:3-4). My delegation shares the concerns referred to in the Secretary-General's report about a series of acts, undertaken in armed conflict throughout the world, that violate children's human rights.”

  6. “Mr. Castellen Duarte (Nicaragua) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation commends you, Sir, for convening this important meeting on a subject of particular importance to us all. I should also like to thank the Secretary-General for his extensive and detailed annual report on children and armed conflict, contained in document S/2007/757, which reflects progress and challenges and takes global stock of that thorny problem in the light of international instruments, including relevant resolutions of the Security Council. Children are humankind's greatest treasure. They represent the continuity of our species, our future, and the bridge to generations to come.”
