“Kazakhstan is submitting its candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council for 2017-2018 and is particularly committed to prioritizing the protection of civilians.”

“Kazakhstan has proposed the establishment of a United Nations regional hub for sustainable development and humanitarian assistance in Almaty, which would complement the work of the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia in the vast territory of the Eurasian region. Kazakhstan, as a current Chair of the Gender Equality Working Group of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and one of the sponsors, along with Austria, Finland and Turkey, of the OSCE-wide action plan on women, peace and security, calls for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), which focuses on putting women's rights, gender equality and women's empowerment at the heart of global peace and security activities.”

“Nursultan Nazarbayev, the final document of the fifth Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, which was held in June 2015 in Astana, calls on all parties around the world involved in conflicts to cease violence, declare truce and, through negotiations, reach an agreement to end hostilities, protect civilians and find a peaceful resolution to all tensions. We are convinced that the long-term work of the Secretary-General and his Special Envoys should be strongly supported by the Council and Member States. We support the activities of the United Nations regional offices, which serve as platforms for preventive diplomacy.”

“We fully support the Secretary-General's proposals for the active use of non-military protection tools, including strong political advocacy, vigilant reporting and monitoring, together with the introduction of comprehensive security-sector reforms, the rule of law and good governance, and an end to all impunity. Kazakhstan attaches the utmost importance to the security of civilians, as evidenced in its engagement in United Nations peacekeeping operations in Western Sahara and Cote d'Ivoire. The Conference on Interaction and Confidence- Building Measures in Asia, initiated by Kazakhstan, has become a good platform for cooperation and dialogue in Asia, and it has great potential for contributing to conflict prevention and peacebuilding. As proposed by the President of Kazakhstan, Mr.”

“Mr. Kabentayev (Kazakhstan) (spoke in Spanish): I commend the presidency of Uruguay for convening this debate on the protection of civilians, who are extremely vulnerable to attacks during the current increasingly intense conflicts accompanied by an unprecedented magnitude of human rights violations. Kazakhstan therefore calls for complete and strict implementation of the report of the Secretary-General of June 2015 on the relevant recommendations of the High-level Independent Panel on Peace Operations (S/2015/453). The High-level Independent Panel proposed that mandates to protect civilians should be coherent with a comprehensive political strategy. Peacekeeping missions mandated to use force must protect civilians.”

“There must also be a greater concerted effort to hold security-sector actors in conflict zones accountable for effectively protecting children and to ensure that the United Nations national action plans are adopted. In conclusion, Kazakhstan, in upholding the rights and dignity of the child, will join the international community in supporting the safe and secure protection of children, who are the most vulnerable group of all in armed conflicts.”

“My delegation applauds the work of the Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict and other human rights defenders of children and endorses the proposals they have made, i.e., recommending that the Secretary- General include in the annexes to his report those actors in a conflict who engage in abductions of children, and that all parties to a conflict should treat children as Victims, ensuring first of all their full treatment, rehabilitation and reintegration into society. Furthermore, every effort should be made to prevent attacks on educational institutions and end the military use of schools; that requires calling on conflicting parties to uphold the Oslo Safe Schools Declaration.”

“The abduction of children should therefore be added as a new trigger for inclusion in the annexes to the Secretary- General's reports, along with the other four triggers: recruitment, sexual violence, killing and maiming and attacks on schools and hospitals. Furthermore, all perpetrators must be brought to justice through stricter enforcement of the Rome Statutes when countries are unwilling or unable to protect children. Countries that are powerless need regional and international support and capacity-building on several fronts, including the military, the promotion of good governance and the rule of law.”

“Our efforts would have better results if there were greater coordination between the Security Council, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and the regional structures and United Nations country teams on the ground. All Member States should endorse and implement UNICEF's "Children, Not Soldiers" campaign, for, as Human Rights Watch estimates, nearly 300,000 children are serving as child soldiers for Government forces and rebel groups in armed conflicts around the world. Statistics also indicate that as many as 70 per cent of the soldiers in some armed groups are children, with girls also recruited, though mainly as sex slaves.”

“Kazakhstan is a staunch supporter of and committed to the rigorous implementation of international humanitarian, human- rights and criminal law, and would therefore like to present the following points for consideration. First, the issue of children in armed conflict needs to be better integrated into the Council's country- specific work, and a child-protection mandate must be incorporated into all peacekeeping missions, with an officer delegated for that purpose. Such a directive can be effective only if troops, police and civilian personnel on the ground receive adequate orientation, as well as prior training in their home countries before deployment.”

“I thank the presidency of Malaysia for drawing attention to the need to protect children from violence, abuse, detention and, in particular, forced disappearance and abduction during armed conflicts, all of which assumed unprecedented and alarming proportions last year. My delegation commends the Security Council and its Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict for their attention to and progress in reducing the number of war crimes against children. As the horror and frequency of such crimes intensify, however, with ever larger numbers of children becoming victims, it is imperative that we respond more speedily than we have done so far, both to new, emerging crises and to protracted, worsening conflicts.”
