1. “Stefan Lofven, and the Prime Minister of Aruba, of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Ms. Evelyn Wever-Croes. Likewise, we appreciate the briefings provided by the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Virginia Gamba; the Executive Director of UNICEF, Ms. Henrietta Fore; and the representative of Colombian civil society, Ms. Yenny Londofio, who shared her experience and recommendations with us. The report of the Secretary-General (S/2018/465) and the information provided by Ms. Gamba today reflect the harsh reality faced by children immersed in conflicts, who account for an increase of 27 per cent in violations in 2017 compared to 2016. More than 10,000 children were killed or maimed in 2017.”

2. “Mrs. Cordova Soria (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): At the outset, we thank Sweden for its leadership during the negotiations of resolution 2427 (2018), adopted today, which we had the pleasure of co-sponsoring and which undoubtedly provides a framework for the integration of protection, rights, welfare and empowerment of children throughout the conflict cycle, reinforcing in turn the mandate of the Special Representative and emphasizing reintegration as an essential part of demobilization and disarmament processes, as well as accountability for all violations against children. We also appreciate Sweden's role as organizer of this open debate, whose focus is on protecting children today in order to prevent conflicts tomorrow. We welcome the presence of the Prime Minister of Sweden, Mr.”

3. “We also call on political leaders and all parties to refrain from using nationalist rhetoric that foments divisions in the country. We hope that Operation Althea and the Office of the High Representative will continue to cooperate closely and will play a constructive role in maintaining peace and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina within the framework of their mandate. Lastly, we stress that we encourage the entire population of Bosnia and Herzegovina to live together in harmony, overcoming the divisions of the past and putting shared development first. In that regard, we urge the international community to address the concerns of all stakeholders with an impartial and equitable approach, in the interests of lasting stability.”

4. “In that connection, we call on Council members to work together in an inclusive environment, respecting the Dayton Agreement, which continues to be the legal basis and benchmark for stability and the peaceful settlement of differences between the parties. Those challenges could ultimately destabilize the country and threaten the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We therefore urge all political leaders to put the interests of their people before their ethnic political interests. Bolivia would like to reiterate its commitment to the full respect of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In that regard, we stress that in order to preserve those elements, its Constitution and the decisions of the judiciary with regard to the rule of law must be respected.”

5. “Those efforts demonstrate the commitment of the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to continuing to undertake the reforms needed to promote the country's stability and contribute to the initiatives aimed at achieving the development and stability they desire. We therefore encourage them to focus on those aspects and to intensify their efforts to implement the 5+2 agenda as a prerequisite for the closure of the Office of the High Representative. Despite the progress that has been made, challenges remain in the political environment. The elections will take place in October and we believe it is important that political leaders take consensual action on electoral changes so that the elections can be properly conducted.”

6. “Ms. Cordova Soria (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): We are grateful to Mr. Valentin Inzko, the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, for his report (S/2018/416, annex). We commend the positive political and economic developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the previous review period, in particular the adoption of special tax laws and the approval on 9 February of the second disbursement of funds under the Extended Fund Facility. We also welcome the trilateral meeting held in March between the Presidencies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia. We highlight the approval of the State budget for 2018 and the foreign policy strategy for the next five years, as well as the progress made in the fight against money-laundering and the financing of terrorism.”
