  1. “In doing so, the United Nations blue helmets and other United Nations agencies present on the ground can help break the vicious cycle of violence and poverty and sow the seed for durable peace. Let me conclude by sharing a story about Vietnamese peacekeepers in South Sudan and Central African Republic. They taught English to the local children wherever possible, be it in a playground, a garden or a deserted school, with tables and chairs made from recycled wooden box. They helped the children there enlighten a hope for a better future and equip themselves for that journey. I believe there are plenty of such stories around the world waiting to be told and spread. Let us all build a brighter future for our children, starting from today.”

  2. “We welcome the significant efforts of Member States in implementing Security Council resolutions 2143 (2014), 2286 (2016) and 2573 (2021), and we believe that these should continue to be vigorously pursued. Having said that, Viet Nam endorsed the Safe Schools Declaration and encourage States that have yet done so to consider joining this commitment to enable the continuity of safe education for all children in armed conflicts. Last but not least, child protection should be put at the core of peacekeeping. We urge the continued integration of child protection components in the mandates of all relevant United Nations peacekeeping operations and political missions.”

  3. “We urge all parties to conflict to promptly implement the Secretary-General’s call for a global ceasefire in 2020. Second, we call for full respect for and compliance with the international law, especially the international humanitarian law. Greater strides should aim at ensuring unhindered access of children to humanitarian assistance, including COVID-19 vaccines. Together with coordinated efforts of the Council within its mandate, the role of UNICEF, UNDP, WHO and other relevant actors should be fully leveraged in facilitating humanitarian relief activities on the ground. Third, the protection of essential civilian infrastructure, especially schools and hospitals, must be ensured.”

  4. “We strongly condemn all acts of violence and abuse against children and call for an immediate cessation of such wrongful practices. Since the creation of the children and armed conflict agenda 25 years ago, positive changes have been made thanks to the tremendous efforts of the United Nations and the international community. Hundreds of thousands of children have been rescued and freed from armed groups, reintegrated into their families, and returned to school. Yet our work is far from over. With that, I would like to highlight the following points: First, saving children emanates from acts to stop violence, end wars and sustain peace in every corner of the world. This is the prerequisite to ensure children are protected and live to their full potentials.”

  5. “Viet Nam would like to thank the Secretary-General and all briefers for their insightful remarks. We also thank the Estonian presidency for convening this important debate. Our resistance war ended almost half a century ago. Yet the legacy of tragic losses and sufferings, especially when it comes to children, lingered on. As such, protecting children from hostilities and deplorable abuses in armed conflict is an issue that Viet Nam holds dear to our hearts and a continued priority from our first tenure at the Council in 2008–2009. Sadly, the situation has been worsening over time. We are deeply concerned over the unacceptably high level of grave violations against children, according to the Secretary-General’s latest report. Regrettably, the figures in the report are just the tip of the iceberg.”
