  5. “El Salvador has recognized the rights of families to know the whereabouts of children that were disappeared during the armed conflict. To that end, since 2010 El Salvador has in place a national search commission for children disappeared during the internal armed conflict. That commission investigates, locates, contacts and reunites disappeared children with their biological families. They also provide psychosocial support to families who are Victims of forced disappearances. From its establishment through December 2016, the commission has recorded 295 cases and concluded 34 per cent of the investigations. Furthermore, in October 2013 we set up a reparations programme for victims of grave human rights Violations that took place in the context of the internal armed conflict, including the enforced disappearance ofindividuals.”

As a result, we have made progress in developing legislation and institutions to protect children, including signing and ratifying the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict. El Salvador also recognizes that respecting and ensuring human rights are essential pillars to establish a true rule oflaw. As a result, we have made a serious commitment to prevent, locate and identify disappeared persons, especially boys and girls, as well as to support the families of disappeared persons, investigate cases, punish those responsible and provide comprehensive reparations to the victims and their families.”

The promotion, protection and full enjoyment by children and adolescents of their rights are a priority to El Salvador. We have therefore made major achievements in terms of the rights of the child and adolescents, especially in the areas of education, health and protection. We commend the work of the Organization to facilitate and encourage dialogue on child protection through various campaigns that have included, in specific cases of negotiation, the issue of child protection as an important point to be included in peace agreements.”

  8. “Mr. Jaime Calderon (El Salvador) (spoke in Spanish): El Salvador is grateful to France, as President of the Security Council, for organizing this important debate focused on children and armed conflict. We express our commitment to the Council's work on this agenda item. We also take note of the report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict (S/2017/821). As a country that overcame an armed conflict through negotiation, El Salvador is a faithful defender of the commitment to peace and development. The major progress achieved since that historic milestone in 1992 in terms of democracy, the promotion of, and respect for, human rights, and the consolidation of State institutions have contributed to building stable and lasting peace for the people of El Salvador.”

Likewise, for El Salvador it is important to recognize the role played by women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts and in the consolidation of peace, as recognized in resolution 1325 (2000). We therefore consider it essential to give attention to the violence against women by including the problem as an important component of public policy.”

  18. “El Salvador believes that the exercise of States' right to legitimate self-defence, as set out in the Charter of the United Nations, does not justify the disproportionate use of military force against another State, and even less against its civilian population. That is not only a breach of the spirit of the Charter but also a flagrant violation of the norms of international humanitarian law. We urge immediate, continuous, unrestricted and unhindered access for the people of Gaza to humanitarian assistance and basic supplies. In that regard, we are very optimistic about the meeting that the Human Rights Council will hold soon to assess the situation of civilians in the Gaza Strip.”
