1. “Bahrain affirms its solidarity with Saudi Arabia in every action taken by that country to deter the terrorist militias and preserve its security, stability and territorial integrity. We also endorse the Saudi Arabian position that the international community must work together to stop these blatant attacks. In conclusion, the protection of civilians, particularly vulnerable groups, and civilian objects, including essential civilian facilities, in armed conflicts must remain a priority for the international community. We reiterate our support for the Secretary-General’s appeal for a global ceasefire, which is more urgent than ever.”

2. “In addition, as conflicts continue to take their toll on hospitals and essential infrastructure, the outbreak of the coronavirus disease pandemic is weakening the capacity of conflict- affected countries to provide the health-care services needed to contain the pandemic. Moreover, insecurity, instability and inadequate protection of humanitarian and health-care workers disrupt the provision of the humanitarian assistance required to alleviate civilian suffering. Bearing that in mind, Bahrain endorsed the Secretary- General’s sincere appeal for an immediate global ceasefire. Houthi militias backed by Iran continue to launch explosive-laden drones and ballistic missiles towards Saudi Arabia, targeting civilian objects and innocent civilians, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.”

3. “Although the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols of 1977 provide legal frameworks for the protection of civilians and civilian objects in armed conflict, civilian objects and civilians remain the primary targets of armed conflicts, especially as armed conflicts in urban areas become more common, claiming innocent lives and destroying civilian objects and agricultural land. According to the report of the Secretary-General to the Security Council on the protection of civilians in armed conflict (S/2020/366), direct or indiscriminate attacks by parties to conflict damaged and destroyed homes, schools, hospitals, markets, places of worship and essential civilian infrastructure.”

4. “At the outset, I should like to welcome His Excellency Mr. Bui Thanh Son, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, who will be presiding over this meeting. I thank the Permanent Mission of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, President of the Security Council for April, for convening this important meeting at a time when armed conflicts in urban areas are on the rise, posing a threat not only to the lives of civilians, but also to civilian facilities providing the essential services that make decent living conditions possible. I must thank the briefers, Mark Lowcock, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator; Peter Maurer, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross; and Kevin Rudd, Chair of the Board of Directors of the International Peace Institute.”
