  39. Finally, and in general terms, we must go further in analysing, following up and monitoring the most troubling situations, whether or not they are included in the list in the annex to the report. With regard to this last point, we obviously must display a certain flexibility in the interpretation of paragraph 16 of resolution 1379 (2001). The criteria defined by that paragraph for drawing up the list must not hinder our determination to tackle the situations that arouse the greatest concern. I believe that Member States cannot fail to support these guidelines, even though there may be a few differences regarding the practical implementation of actions to be undertaken.

  40. For that reason, we believe that it is a good idea for a follow-up resolution to prepared by the Security Council in order to provide clear guidelines for the next stage. In such a resolution, we must firmly express our will to act. Without providing an exhaustive list of what we might do, I should like to mention three examples. First, we must ensure that the demobilization and reintegration of child soldiers is for the duration and that such children are effectively monitored. That way, we will avoid the phenomenon of reconscription, which we see in some conflict zones. Next, we must end the scandal of the sexual exploitation of children in refugee camps.

  41. First of all, at the normative level, there is the entry into force of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and that of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The latter text contains specific provisions regarding the recruitment or use of child soldiers, which is described as a war crime. Then, on the more operational level, there is the integration of the protection of children into the definition of peacekeeping or peace-building operations. But despite that progress, how many intolerable situations are mentioned in the report of the Secretary-General? Of course, France agrees with those States that believe that we cannot fail to respond to the overwhelming report of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Mr. Olara Otunnu.

  42. By adopting resolution 1379 (2001), on children and armed conflict, on 20 November 2001 - the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child - the Council carried out just and necessary work. One of that resolution's most innovative aspects was the establishment of a monitoring and follow-up mechanism. Its paragraph 16 requests the Secretary- General to attach to his report a list of parties to armed conflict that recruit or use children in violation of the international obligations applicable to them. Today, we have an opportunity to consider the report of the Secretary-General (S/2002/1299) for the first time. It cites some encouraging progress.

  43. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of France. Nearly every day, we consider crisis situations that are almost always real human tragedies as well. But the recruitment of children in armed conflicts or their use as combatants and the many forms of exploitation that they suffer in conflict zones are particularly intolerable. Such zones are often lawless. To enlist children in armed or paramilitary forces, to take them away from their families, to wound them, to mutilate them - in other words, to raise them in fear and hatred - is, first and foremost, to attack their rights as children. But it is also to attack their future as adults. Therefore, I am gratified to note that the Security Council remains fully committed with regard to this problem and that today's debate has aroused remarkable interest.

  44. I thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict for his statement and for the kind words he addressed to me. I now give the floor to Ms. Carol Bellamy, Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund.

  46. In this respect, I would recall that consultations are under way with a view to the Council's adopting a follow-up resolution. I welcome the Secretary-General and call on him to address the Council.

  47. The report before the Council today has been submitted pursuant to resolution 1379 (2001), adopted by consensus at the initiative of my country just over a year ago. This important report should be followed up. Following the adoption of resolution 1379 (2001), we are now in the implementation phase. It is scandalous that children should be recruited and used in armed conflict, in the light of which outrage is insufficient. We must act. The report of the Secretary- General calls on us to do so by taking stock of progress made last year and by submitting, at the Council's request, a list of parties to armed conflicts that recruit or use children. I hope that our discussion today will allow us to define clear guidelines for the follow-up to the report.
