  1. “Terrorism threatens the core sovereignty of a country; it constitutes a direct violation of the United Nations Charter and a great impediment to the implementation of the Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/ 1). (spoke in French) Allow me once again to offer our sincerest and deepest condolences to France in connection with the appalling terrorist attacks carried out in Paris. (spoke in English) Killing innocent people based on ideology represents not just an attack on Paris, Ankara or Beirut, but an attack on all of humankind. Therefore, it is not just Paris, Ankara or Beirut that we should pray for: it is the world. We must stand together in hunting down the perpetrators and bringing them to justice.”

  2. “I would like first to congratulate the British presidency of the Security Council for having organized this timely open debate on a topic of such great relevance. More than 1.5 billion people live in countries affected by violent conflict, and few of them have been successful in achieving any of the targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. The rule of law, human rights, peace and security, and development are often viewed as de facto separate concepts. The reality is that the problems we face today in the global arena are not limited to these predefined categories. Challenges such as poverty, insecurity, violent conflict and terrorism transcend those boundaries.”

  3. “Romania is a sponsor of resolution 2242 (2015) on women and peace and security, adopted by consensus this morning, and we therefore join the call for more determined action on the part of all stakeholders in advancing the agenda on women and peace and security.”

  4. “Today, military operations are conducted in a complex security environment that requires the complementary skills and expertise of both women and men, since war and conflict have different impacts on both of them. However, whether in peace or war, we cannot change perspectives on women's issues without the proactive participation of men. The UN-Women "He For She" campaign encourages men to actively support women and girls. President Klaus Iohannis of Romania has participated personally in this movement, and his concrete commitments show how men in power can also empower the women of their countries.”

  5. “We have deployed mixed-gender teams, especially within the civil and military cooperation units that have been mainly responsible for engaging with the population in Afghanistan, while female engagement teams have been assigned to engage with Afghan women and girls in order to help empower them in their own societies, for example in Zabul province. There, through a multitude of projects and programmes, Romania's military staff have acted to support disadvantaged women and vulnerable groups within their area of operations. The activities were performed in full cooperation with representatives of the host country and the local population, and with regional and civil society organizations.”

  6. “Today I am privileged to be able to acknowledge the contribution to our support for peace and stabilization in Haiti of a Romanian officer, Chief Superintendent Raluca Domuta, currently Commander for the southern region of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, who was proclaimed International Female Police Peacekeeper for 2015. Throughout her deployment in Haiti, she has used her national expertise to combat trafficking in human beings and organized crime, and she is an excellent example of the value added by the gender component in United Nations peacekeeping and special political missions. The issues of gender equality, tolerance, non-discrimination and the prohibition of sexual harassment and gender-based violence are reflected in all of Romania's military educational programmes.”

  7. “Based on our Constitution's provisions, it promotes fair and balanced access for men and women, military and civilians, to senior-level and executive positions. As a result, we have women who have reached the rank of general and, beginning in 2009, we have seen an increasing number of female military staff participating in international missions. Furthermore, women from our Ministry of Internal Affairs have been deployed in peacekeeping and peacebuilding missions of the United Nations, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.”

  8. “Today we have heard about the progress that has been made in the past 15 years and about the remaining challenges and priorities for action. Romania believes that all actors - Member States, regional organizations, civil society and the media - should continue to work to implement the agenda on women and peace and security. The active participation of women in peace processes has proved vital to making conflict resolution and peacebuilding more effective. The first female officer in Romania's armed forces was Lieutenant Ecaterina Teodoroiu, who died heroically in the First World War. In 1973, Romanian women began entering the military as a profession. More recently, our Ministry of Defence adopted an action plan aimed at implementing the Security Council's seven resolutions on women, peace and security.”

  9. “I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this high-level open debate of the Security Council, celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the adoption of the landmark resolution 1325 (2000). I would like to commend the Secretary- General for his report (S/2015/716) and the members of the high-level advisory group for their work on the comprehensive global study on preventing conflict, transforming justice and securing peace, to which Romania contributed. We also greatly appreciate the briefers' insightful presentations earlier today. Romania aligns itself with the statement delivered earlier by the observer of the European Union. I would now like to make a few comments from our national perspective. Resolution 1325 (2000) put a greatly needed emphasis on the importance of the role of women in peace processes.”
