  1. “We encourage all the relevant United Nations entities to conduct more effective monitoring, documenting, investigating and reporting of violations against children, including rape and other forms of sexual violence. Peacekeeping and special political missions, as well as fact-finding commissions and commissions of inquiry, should be mandated accordingly and given sufficient capacities and resources to implement those mandates. At the same time, the United Nations should make better use of initiatives such as the Justice Rapid Response roster in order to enable experts to be deployed as quickly as possible.”

  2. “We have repeatedly echoed those who have expressed the View that the Council should engage in a serious discussion with a view to referring the situation to the International Criminal Court, a decision that would be in line with the code of conduct on mass atrocities of the Accountability, Coherence and Transparency group, supported by 117 States. Sexual violence against children is one of the violations most chronically underreported during situations of armed conflict. United Nations monitoring and reporting mechanisms often fail to capture many such incidents, particularly those committed against men and boys, as has been shown in the research done by the All Survivors Project in places such as Syria and the Central African Republic.”

  3. “We were also appalled to hear from the Secretary- General's Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict about her recent trip to Myanmar and Bangladesh (see S/PV.8133) and her account of atrocious sexual and gender-based violence committed in a systematic manner against children, even babies. We will continue to support Bangladesh's efforts to host the large refugee population, but we are also concerned about the reports of forced disappearances of women and minors in the camps and incidents of human trafficking. Unfortunately, the Council has remained silent on those challenges, even after its own visit to the region. Accountability for the crimes committed cannot be treated as an afterthought when it is clearly a precondition for the stated objective of enabling the Rohingya refugees to return.”

  4. “We welcome the fact that the list of parties that have committed grave violations affecting children in situations of armed conflict has been updated recently. Evidence-based and impartial listing is a key tool to put pressure on State and non-State actors alike to take concrete measures to better ensure the protection of children. Myanmar's State and border forces were added to the list for the first time following the widespread and systematic violence committed against the Rohingya in Rakhine state, the destruction of their villages and their forced deportation into Bangladesh. We share the Secretary-General's deep concerns about the violations committed against children, such as killing, maiming, rape and other forms of sexual violence, as outlined in his recent report.”

  5. “The Safe Schools Declaration, supported by 76 States, including Liechtenstein, is an important commitment to continuing education during armed conflict, including by protecting schools and universities from military use. The full implementation of Security Council resolution 2286 (2016) will also go a long way towards improving the situation of children in armed conflict by ensuring the protection of those providing medical services as well as health-care facilities. Both initiatives are aimed at counteracting the worrisome trend of increasing disregard for international humanitarian law. The Council should follow up on these initiatives and help enforce compliance by State and non-State actors with the Geneva Conventions.”

  6. “Children are among the most vulnerable individuals in need of protection from the effects of armed conflict. The recent report of the Secretary-General (S/2018/465) highlights the large increase in the number of violations compared with previous reporting cycles. Thus we continue to often fail to provide protection when it is most needed. We reiterate our strong support for the Secretary-General's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict and for her continuous efforts to shed more light on such violations. Protecting the independence and integrity of her mandate is crucial to its effectiveness and credibility. There are numerous initiatives that enable us to enhance protection.”
