  1. “They have taken to the streets because they believe in equal and fair participation in decision-making. Theirs is the most beautiful voice, reflecting with courage, care and sincerity the concerns, aspirations and dreams of the entire society. They have taken to the streets so as not to miss their date with destiny. Only women can determine their own future. Only women can chart their own path. Only women can write their own destiny. Only women can create their own objectives. Only women can forge their own agendas in all areas. Women are entrusted with ensuring peace and security. They must be able to determine for themselves what is possible and what is not. Women everywhere will be granted their rights, not because of someone's choice, but because no one should have that choice.”

  2. “Lebanon reiterates through the national plan its commitment to actively involving women in peacebuilding efforts, conflict prevention and post-conflict reconstruction, as well as maintaining security by encouraging their participation and representation in local and national governance structures. In recent weeks, Lebanon has witnessed a peaceful and democratic movement, led by women who have taken to the streets to defend their living, social, civil, political and personal rights. They have taken to the streets to safeguard a democratic society that believes in individual and social freedoms, gender equality, pluralism and all human rights for all human beings. They have taken to the streets to create a barrier between security forces and protesters with a view to maintaining peace and security.”

  3. “The plan was drawn up by the National Commission for Lebanese Women, in consultation with governmental and non-governmental parties, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society, to ensure the broadest and most effective participation in its implementation. We note the constructive and effective role of civil society in all its components, particularly with respect to human rights defenders, both male and female, along with NGOs. The operationalization and integration of partnerships between the Governments and civil society are crucial and necessary to developing the plan's mechanisms, as well as its implementation.”

  4. “Those resolutions consecrate the concept of social equality and seek to establish more just societies enjoying stability and the prospects of peace and security, where rights are secured and equal and women are ensured fair opportunities to become partners to men at all levels. We see women starting revolutions everywhere today, standing up for their freedom and the security of their society, while demanding their rights and dictating to Governments their duty to ensure peace, stability and a decent life. In September, the Lebanese Government adopted the first national action plan on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).”

  5. “Ms. Chidiac (Lebanon) (spoke in Arabic): I would like to thank the United Kingdom presidency for reconvening the open debate on women and peace and security. and to take this opportunity to the adoption of resolution 2493 (2019) last week. It is the latest in a series of related resolutions, starting with resolution 1325 (2000) and resolution 2467 (2019), on conflict- related sexual violence. In that respect, we reiterate the importance of all resolutions on women and peace and security and emphasize Lebanon's commitment to the implementation of all their provisions without selectivity and in their entirety.”

  6. “Lastly, let us not forget the need to ensure the participation of civil society and of male and female human rights defenders in the women and peace and security agenda and to recognize the fundamental role they play, often at the risk of their lives. In brief, what we will now have to consider is how to move from denial to confession; from bullying and stigma to empowerment; from the silence of humiliation to the courage of the truth; from indifference to compassion; from impunity to justice; from injustice to atonement; and from words to actions, because this world is not for those men who wage war but for all of the women who want peace!”

  7. “In the national context, we emphasize the importance of establishing inclusive and gender- sensitive inquiry and communication mechanisms and the introduction of relevant legislation that seeks to bring to trial the forces behind and any individual responsible for acts of sexual violence not only against women, but also against men and children. To that end, specialized funds should be mobilized to promote and strengthen the institutions responsible for monitoring, investigating and prosecuting these wrongdoings. In addition, improved conditions of access to justice remain a basic component of the process.”

  8. “To that end, we call for full respect for the norms of international law and international humanitarian law in times of war and the implementation of all the Security Council's resolutions on the women and peace and security agenda, the cornerstone of which is resolution 1325 (2000). In that context, it should be recalled that this resolution and all those that have followed highlight the evidence that women are a vital partner for peace and security in the world and that their involvement in negotiations and peace efforts would pave a clear path towards lasting peace.”

  9. “When their own bodies are turned into assault weapons against themselves, we all face the moral and ethical imperative to act. We must act as a moral obligation and collective responsibility. We must act to defend and protect, prevent and deter, investigate and hold accountable, denounce and judge and never again allow State and non-State actors alike to brandish women's bodies as weapons against themselves or use rape as a weapon of terrorism and sexual violence of any kind as a tactic of war. But we must also act to guarantee the rights of all survivors of sexual violence, including their sexual and reproductive health rights.”

  10. “Ms. Chidiac (Lebanon) (spoke in French): I thank you, Mr. President, for convening this open debate of the Security Council on a theme that deeply affects all of humankind, our collective conscience and human values. We also thank all the briefers for their remarks and their commitment. On this occasion, we welcome the presence among us of the man who repairs women, Dr. Mukwege, and the women who speak on behalf of all of us, Ms. Nadia Murad and Ms. Inas Miloud. Often, war is not simply a sordid machine gun, a crude grenade or a criminal tank. Terrorism cannot be reduced to a deceitful and deadly ideology. Conflicts, wars and terrorism are also synonymous with women who suffer unthinkable violence and indelible trauma to their flesh and bodies.”
