  1. “NATO remains firmly committed to the full and effective implementation of resolution 1612 (2005), as well as subsequent resolutions on children and armed conflict. Close cooperation and partnership with the United Nations is imperative in that regard, and we look forward to continuing our work with the Office of the Secretary General's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict in order to establish a sustainable child protection architecture within NATO. We hope that these results may inform similar processes within other regional and subregional organizations, and thereby contribute to the wider international effort to help to better protect children affected by armed conflict.”

  2. “In partnership with UNAMA's child protection team, we supported the Afghan Ministry of Defence in developing a child protection policy to ensure adherence to national and international child protection obligations. Thirdly, we have taken measures to protect children across Afghanistan. Child protection focal points have been established in our Train Assist and Advice Commands (TAACs) across the country. The focal points are tasked to mainstream children and armed conflict topics within the TAACs command structures, to monitor and report when grave violations against children are observed, including incidents of sexual violence affecting both girls and boys, and to provide in-theatre briefings and trainings.”

  3. “Working in this complex and challenging environment, NATO has sought to integrate child protection in its Resolute Support Mission operations by undertaking the following steps. First, we established the position of senior child protection adviser in April 2016, thereby ensuring that the protection of children is prioritized within Resolute Support Mission leadership. Secondly, we have developed a training course on human rights, including on children and armed conflict. With the support of United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), training was provided to the top 120 leaders from the Afghan Ministries of Defence and Interior Affairs.”

  4. “In partnership and cooperation with the United Nations, we are currently revising our online training course to include recent developments in the field of child protection. We are witnessing daily the plight of children affected by armed conflict in Afghanistan, as every third civilian casualty there is a child. The United Nations continues to document cases of recruitment and the use of children by armed groups, while attacks on schools and hospitals pose a serious security risk to children and impede their access to education and health care. Sexual violence against children continues to occur, which, in the case of the sexual exploitation of boys, is particularly through the practice of bacha bazi.”

  5. “Over the past five years since this subject was first addressed, at the 2012 NATO Summit meeting in Chicago, the Alliance has developed practical, field-oriented measures to address violence against children. We have developed our standing operating procedures so that our troops now have a more robust tool to monitor and report on the six grave violations against children whenever they encounter them in NATO military operations. The information collected can be shared with the United Nations. We thereby hope to inform advocacy and activities on the ground to better protect children. We also recently revised and expanded our predeployment training on children and armed conflict for our Resolute Support Mission personnel in Afghanistan.”

  6. “Mr. Dornig: At the outset, allow me tojoin previous speakers in commending the President for organizing this timely debate and for providing us with a concept note (S/2017/892, annex) that outlines the increasing threats posed by contemporary warfare on children. NATO recognizes that protecting children from the effects of armed conflict is both a moral imperative and an essential element to break cycles of Violence. If we are sincere about protecting future generations, we must recognize the Vital role of Member States and international, regional and subregional organizations in implementing Security Council resolutions on children and armed conflict.”
