  2. “We are proud that Montenegro was the first to establish a liaison office for that important regional initiative, which aims at reconciliation through the joint activities of young people of the western Balkans region. Young people around the world can make an important contribution to sustaining peace and stability. We realize that achieving the goals of peace and development concerns their future, and they should have a crucial stake in it. It is both a demographic and democratic imperative that young people actively participate in decision-making and are treated as a vital asset to any society. Providing young people with the right educational tools for crisis prevention and peacebuilding has a positive impact on development and sustainable peace.”

  3. “We strongly believe that investing in youth is the best investment for the stability and prosperity of our society. The contribution of the United Nations system in Montenegro, through different programmes and projects, particularly the Programme on Youth Empowerment, is ofgreat importance for enabling young people to use their full potential in decision-making, entrepreneurship and participation in various social activities. Montenegro is also very active in connecting youth from the region of the western Balkans. Representatives from the Government and civil sector of Montenegro participated in a comprehensive process of establishing the Regional Youth Cooperation Office.”

  4. “There are many talented and creative young men and women who are pioneering innovation and new social media tools and ways to reach the young population. Montenegro supports all efforts aimed at voicing the needs and priorities of young people and proposing sustainable solutions for their problems. The national youth strategy ofMontenegro for the period 2017 to 2021 focuses on facilitating the access of young people to the labour market and employment and to quality education, their active participation in decision-making processes and policy creation and access to quality health care and to culture, both as creators and consumers. That is how we are striving to create an efficient framework for the systematic improvement of the position of young people in Montenegro.”

  5. “Young people are the main victims of direct violence in conflict situations, but sometimes also are the perpetrators of violence, due to their vulnerability to both voluntary and involuntary military recruitment. The issue of youth and peace and security requires joint action. We welcome the findings and recommendations of the progress study on youth and peace and security (see S/2018/86), pursuant to landmark resolution 2250 (2015). Montenegro participated in the negotiations for that resolution as part of the Eastern Europe and Central Asian region. The potential of youth to facilitate peace processes is often undermined. We believe that it is crucial to involve youth in such processes as stakeholders and decision makers. That allows them to gain ownership of the policies that affect them and all of us.”

  6. “I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening today's debate on youth and peace and security, and I commend Peru's strong commitment to this issue. I also thank today's briefers for their valuable input to this debate. Montenegro aligns itself with the statement to be made by the observer of the European Union. Still, I would like to add a few remarks in my national capacity. We are continuously witnessing the dramatic consequences of conflict and Violence in different parts of the world. It is often young people who face obstacles, ranging from discrimination, marginalization and poverty to armed conflict. Their voices are distinctively underrepresented on issues that concern them, including peacebuilding and the prevention of conflict.”

  7. “The threat of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by non-State actors is a global one, which requires a response at the national, regional and international levels. We are confident that, only through the joint and coherent efforts of the international community, including increased cooperation between the United Nations and the relevant international and regional organizations, as well as among the relevant Security Council Committees and active participation of all stakeholders - parliamentarians, civil society, industry and academia - this threat of grave concern can be effectively addressed. Montenegro stands ready to make a further contribution in that regard.”

  8. “In that context, we have established an effective export control system, while taking into account measures, such as those regarding intangible technology transfers and other matters requiring particular vigilance, including the transfer of the sensitive facilities, equipment, technology and material usable as weapons or other nuclear explosive devices. We firmly believe that putting an emphasis on the universality of the international provisions on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction derives from the fact that even small States that do not possess nuclear capacities or industries are an important part of the security architecture, which aims at controlling the use of sensitive materials for peaceful purposes.”

  9. “In Montenegro, through the implementation of that strategy and the implementation of all accompanying action plans - including the action plan for resolution 1540 (2004) and the chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear action plan - our focus is on taking a number of measures at the national level that ensure full compliance with the relevant Security Council resolutions, thereby contributing to regional efforts in addressing that threat. Aware of the fact that the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is closely related to other aspects of arms control in general, our attention is on the effective enforcement of legislation and the establishment of domestic control.”

  10. “Montenegro supports the global agenda for the full implementation of resolution 1540 (2004), as set out in resolution 2325 (2016). At the national level, we take a proactive and comprehensive approach in trying to contribute to regional efforts in addressing this urgent threat. As a State party to all key international agreements and instruments related to WMD proliferation and their means of delivery, Montenegro has established a solid national framework and built administrative and institutional capacities to address the threat efficiently. We were the first country in the Western Balkans to adopt a strategy for the non-proliferation of WMDs for the period between 2016 and 2020.”

  11. “The nuclear programme of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and putative further technological developments in its pursuit of military nuclear capability pose a serious threat to international peace and security. Montenegro condemns in the strongest terms the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's repeated violations of the relevant Security Council resolutions. Allegations of the use of chemical weapons in Syria, Iraq and Malaysia, and the possible existence of residual capabilities on Syrian territory, increase the risk of the proliferation of such weapons and their falling into the hands of terrorist groups. We have to face the fact that this imminent threat requires our immediate action so as to avert consequences of a global scale.”

  12. “I would like to thank the Bolivian presidency for organizing this timely open debate on the global efforts to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) by non-State actors and for preparing an informative concept note (see S/2016/1038). I also thank the briefers for their input at today's debate. Montenegro aligns itself with the statement to be delivered on behalf of the European Union, as well as with the statement to be made on behalf of the Group of Friends of Resolution 1540 (2004). I would, however, like to make some additional remarks in my national capacity. We have witnessed the security, health, environmental and social effects of testing nuclear weapons.”
