  3. “I would like to underline once again the significance of ensuring accountability for those responsible for violence against women. In addition, as Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) recognized, we need to enhance women's empowerment, including their participation in peacekeeping operations and post-conflict reconstruction processes. Before concluding, I would like to pay tribute to the United Nations peacekeepers and humanitarian workers, who are working hard to protect civilians around the world and to ease their hardship. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council.”

  4. “States and other parties to conflict need to work closely with humanitarian organizations to identify appropriate, context-specific solutions and strategies to allow humanitarian assistance and reduce the security risks of humanitarian workers. Thirdly, particular attention needs to be paid to the various forms of violence against women and children in armed conflict. It is deeply regrettable that sexual Violence, including rape, remains a prominent feature of armed conflict, affecting women and girls in many parts of the world. While all civilians need to be protected, we need to remain concerned about the particular vulnerabilities of women and girls. I believe that ending violence against women should be pursued during the entire process of conflict resolution and peacebuilding.”

  5. “Impediments to humanitarian access in Violation of applicable humanitarian law should be condemned and removed immediately. It is of particular concern that Violence against humanitarian workers, including their abduction and killing, continues to threaten humanitarian activities in many armed conflict situations. Resolution 1894 (2009) invited the Secretary- General to continue the systematic monitoring and analysis of constraints on humanitarian access. I am pleased that a detailed analysis of the problem was provided in the Secretary-General's report of last year on the issue (S/2012/376). As the report rightly pointed out, constraints on humanitarian access are varied in nature.”

  6. “The Council needs to contribute towards ensuring accountability at the international level, including through the referral of relevant situations to the International Criminal Court. In order to ensure accountability, it is also important to investigate and document violations of international humanitarian and human rights law in armed conflicts. That is a significant prerequisite for bringing perpetrators of crimes to justice. In that regard, we support the continued efforts of the entire United Nations system, including the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Human Rights Council, which has established several commissions ofinquiry and special procedures. Secondly, there is an urgent need to ensure timely and unhindered humanitarian access, as well as the safety and security of humanitarian workers.”

  7. “While it is hard to know the exact number of non-combatant casualties, it is clear that civilians are bearing the brunt of the continuing Violence. They are also subject to humanitarian tragedy. Against that backdrop, I would like to emphasize the following three points. First, I would like to underline the need to bolster accountability for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law, which I believe is crucial for the protection of civilians. Countering impunity is not only a significant tool in preventing further violations against civilians, but also an essential factor in ensuring an effective reconciliation process. While national authorities have the primary responsibility to provide accountability, the Security Council should be able to play a more active role where national authorities fail to do so.”

  8. “Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, Minister for External Relations of Brazil. Despite significant normative progress in the protection of civilians in armed conflict, civilians are still suffering the direct effects of armed conflicts on the ground. They have been killed, injured, kidnapped and forced to leave their homes. It is deeply regrettable that civilians continue to represent the majority of the Victims of conflict in many parts of the world today. The widespread violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law trouble us all. The Security Council needs to remain ever vigilant to address that situation. The deteriorating situation in Syria is of particular concern to us. It is alarming that, according to the recent briefing by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, more than 60,000 Syrian citizens have been killed.”

  9. “The Government of the Republic of Korea, as President of the Security Council for the month of February, will cooperate closely with the international community. I would now like to deliver my statement on the main topic of the open debate today. It is a great honour for me to be here today and preside over this open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Secretary-General, the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Director for International Law and Cooperation of the International Committee of the Red Cross for joining us today. I also welcome the presence of Ms. Louise Mushikiwabo, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of the Republic of Rwanda; Mr. Elmar Maharram oglu Mammadyarov, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan; and Mr.”

  10. “I thank Mr. Spoerri for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade of the Republic of Korea. Before I proceed to the main topic of today's open debate, let me briefly touch upon the nuclear test conducted by North Korea last night. That country's nuclear test constitutes a flagrant violation of resolutions 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009) and 2087 (2013). It poses a direct challenge to the whole international community, as well as an unacceptable threat to the peace and security of the Korean peninsula and North- East Asia. Just an hour ago, the members of the Security Council strongly condemned North Korea's nuclear test with one voice and decided to begin working immediately on adopting a Security Council resolution to take necessary measures.”

  11. “I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2013/75, which contains a letter dated 4 February 2013 from the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Korea to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General transmitting a concept paper on the item under consideration. I sincerely hope that today's open debate will contribute to sharing the urgent sense among the United Nations membership that the situations endured by civilians in many of today's conflicts require renewed attention. At the same time, we hope that such attention can translate the progress that has been made in the normative framework of international humanitarian law into concrete action. It is my firm beliefthat today's debate will be a valuable and timely opportunity to renew our joint resolve on the issue.”
