  1. “While we remain steadfast in our fight against Daesh and all terrorist organizations in North Africa and in the Middle East, we should continue to advocate dialogue and reconciliation as key ingredients for a peaceful future in the region. In that regard, broader global cooperation could strengthen our fight against terrorism. Italy considers the Russian Federation's draft resolution a potential step in the right direction. We need a common and unifying goal, as well as to concentrate our efforts against Daesh and to support political Change through a transition in Syria.”

  2. “The Libyan crisis poses a major challenge to the stability of a vast region that spans from the Middle East, to sub-Saharan Africa and to Europe itself. Without a political settlement, none of the problems in Libya will ever find a durable solution. That is why Libya urgently needs a decision from Libyans to choose a Government of national accord that is able to undertake a critical stabilization process, curb human trafficking and take the lead in fighting terrorism. Lebanon is another country of the region that is increasingly affected by instability. The ramifications of the Syrian crisis in Lebanon risk worsening the prolonged political crisis.”

  3. “We need to uphold, in an effective and sustainable way, the reform process undertaken by Prime Minister Al Abadi aimed at increasing inclusivity and promoting reconciliation. As we move to clear the Daesh presence from progressively larger areas, we must ensure that they will be effectively held and not subject to a Daesh attempt at renewed conquest. In that regard, Italy is expanding its efforts to train Iraqi police, whose role will prove critical to stabilize liberated areas and allow displaced persons to return to their homes safely and without fear of retribution. We also need to carefully monitor and prevent any further expansion of Daesh throughout the region, most notably in Libya, where internal divisions and infighting are creating the space for that group to prosper.”

  4. “Despite some sporadic and very limited ceasefires, our assessment is that the conflict is bound to continue unless we help the Syrians find a lasting and inclusive political solution to the conflict. We believe that the international community should step up its support for the endeavour of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria, Mr. Staff de Mistura, to broker a credible and viable transition, in line with the Geneva communique (S/2012/523, annex). We encourage regional players, especially those who have a greater influence on the Syrian parties, to increase their efforts to facilitate a political settlement. A Syria without a clear way forward is in nobody's interest. Concerning Iraq, major challenges remain before us.”

  5. “One year ago, the advent of the extremist, sectarian and brutal entity Daesh brought the terrorist threat to new, unprecedented levels in the Middle East and North Africa. To counter the rapid expansion of that organization, Italy assured its resolute and concrete support to the international coalition against Daesh, providing humanitarian assistance, making a qualified contribution to military activities, and supporting the stabilization efforts. To date, some important results have been achieved, showing the effectiveness of a vast, collective action. Nevertheless, more effort is still required. Concerning the great tragedy taking place in Syria, we cannot but reiterate that the ever-increasing violence on the ground is causing immense suffering for the civilian population.”

  6. “Medium- and long-term actions are crucial to safeguarding the security and development of children in situations of crisis and conflict. This requires the adoption of a multidimensional approach that is able to address the root causes of poverty, lack of education and basic services, and the militarization of societies. Mr. Aman took the Chair. Lastly, at this juncture, as we approach the adoption of the post-2015 agenda, allow me to reaffirm that the needs and rights of children and adolescents, particularly adolescent girls and those living in poverty or otherwise excluded, must be a cross-cutting priority in our development efforts.”

  7. “They included social and educational activities that involved the creation and management of child and family protective facilities. We funded programmes, such as UNICEF's "No Lost Generation" initiative, aimed at tackling child malnutrition and providing psychological assistance and support for minors and their families. In the Kurdish Autonomous Region of Iraq, since January 2015 we have financed assistance to young Christian and Yazidi girls who are victims of violence. Our own lessons learned from those and other programmes have been that, in the short term, success lies in the ability to rapidly re-establish family, social and institutional protection networks and set up direct relief initiatives. Short-term success, however, is not enough.”

  8. “National authorities have the duty to enforce the rules and investigate and prosecute violations and abuses. At the same time, we must spare no effort in supporting the international criminal justice system. Prompt action is vital so as to reduce the exposure of children to serious risk factors, while promoting and implementing long-term initiatives for the recovery and social integration of former child soldiers and victims of conflicts. According to UNICEF, approximately 14 million children have been impacted by conflicts in Syria and Iraq. Italy pays particular attention to their condition. Last year, we allocated a total of €2 million for projects carried out by UNICEF in support of children in Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan.”

  9. “As a non-permanent member of the Security Council in 2007, Italy strongly supported the inclusion of specific provisions on the protection of children in the mandates of United Nations peacekeeping operations. The targeted training of United Nations personnel on children's rights remains paramount to ensuring effective peacekeeping on the ground. Italy is continuously engaged in such efforts through our training centres. The review of peacekeeping operations will no doubt be an opportunity to provide concrete recommendations on how this important topic may be considered in planning and conducting peacekeeping operations. Accountability at the national and international levels is also key to ensuring that perpetrators are brought to justice.”

  10. “They can be used in retaliation by non-State actors such as Daesh, Boko Haram and other terrorist groups that neglect children's right to education and deny their empowerment, especially that of adolescent girls, and target ethnic and religious communities. We believe that our common efforts to counter violent extremism should also be aimed at eradicating that plague. Resolution 2225 (2015), which we adopted today, is a very relevant tool for addressing the increasing use of abduction. But even more relevant will be its concrete implementation through the work of the Security Council and its bodies, supported by the entire international community.”

  11. “I wish to thank the Malaysian presidency for convening today's open debate and for introducing resolution 2225 (2015), which recognizes abductions in armed conflict as a listing criterion in the annexes of the Secretary-General's annual report on children and armed conflict (S/2015/409). I also thank the Secretary-General, his Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict and the Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF for their work in identifying ways that will help us better prevent and respond to the scourges that continue to afflict children in armed conflict. I am here to reaffirm Italy's strong support for the Council's endeavours. Abductions are often a precursor to other grave violations, from recruitment to mental and physical abuse and other harmful practices, such as forced marriage.”
