  1. “They deserve protection and support as well as justice and opportunity. We should redouble our efforts at every level to protect them, get them back to school and treat them as every society's vital assets. Only that approach can enable us to have an impact on the well-being of future generations and to face the challenges of securing a lasting global peace.”

  2. “That would also require peacekeepers, military and security personnel to receive specialized predeployment training in child protection. In addition, we should prioritize the effective reintegration of children formerly associated with armed forces or groups. Both girls and boys must receive the support they need to alleviate their suffering and help them reintegrate into their communities without prejudice or stigma. That requires education and engagement. We believe it is crucial to ensure that children continue to have access to education even in times of crisis. Education can have a positive effect on their development and give them the skills they need to work for more sustainable peace and advocate for better future themselves. Children are innocent bystanders in times of conflict.”

  3. “Montenegro has ratified the Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and endorsed such non-legally binding commitments as the Paris Principles and the Safe Schools Declaration. We have also endorsed the Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers and we strongly encourage other Member States to do the same. We support international peace operations as an efficient and dynamic instrument for monitoring respect for human rights and building sustainable institutions in conflict areas. A strong component for the protection of children should be incorporated into peacekeeping and prevention mandates and the sustaining peace agenda.”

  4. “The Security Council has made significant progress in this area, and its adoption of resolution 2427 (2018) today is a step forward in advancing the agenda on children and armed conflict, protecting children's rights and ensuring that those responsible for grave violations against children are held to account. Montenegro considers the agreement and implementation of United Nations action plans to be a vital step in improving the protection of children. All the parties listed in the annexes to the Secretary- General's report should put such measures in place. We must improve our efforts to prevent human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law.”

  5. “As stated in the report, which Montenegro welcomes, it is children in particular who face obstacles ranging from discrimination, marginalization and poverty to violence. Young people are the main victims of conflicts today, and they are dealing with unacceptable risks to their lives and suffering as a result of attacks on schools and hospitals and denials of humanitarian access. The issue of children and armed conflict is a global one that demands a shared response. In the wake of some recent progress, we, as the international community, must focus more on preventing violations against children affected by conflict if we are to avoid the possibility of losing entire generations in many countries around the world.”

  6. “Let me first thank the Swedish presidency for having organized this timely and important open debate on the protection of children in armed conflict, as well as for its work on resolution 2427 (2018), which the Security Council adopted this morning. We also thank the briefers for their remarkable presentations and their work on the protection of children in conflict situations. Montenegro fully associates itself with the statement made by the observer of the European Union. I would, however, like to make some additional remarks. Conflicts have a devastating and enduring impact on the world and on each individual. We should all be disturbed by the Secretary-General's latest report on children and armed conflict (S/2018/465), as well as by the briefers' presentations.”
