  1. “Armenia reiterates its commitment to the goals, objectives and principles enshrined in the Safe Schools Declaration, the Paris Principles and the Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers, which are crucial instruments for promoting and protecting the rights of all children, in particular those residing in conflict areas, and for preventing grave violations. We fully support the mandate of Special Representative Gamba de Potgieter in streamlining the agenda of children and armed conflict into the activities of the United Nations agencies and promoting cooperation with regional organizations, civil society and other stakeholders with a view to ensuring effective protection on the ground.”

  2. “The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance has observed that “Azerbaijan’s leadership, education system and media are very prolific in their denigration of Armenians” and that “an entire generation of Azerbaijanis has now grown up listening to this hateful rhetoric”. The opening of the Military Trophy Park, which propagates vilifying images of ethnic Armenians and exposes them to children, is yet another manifestation of the systemic policy aimed at dehumanizing Armenians.”

  3. “The denial by Azerbaijan of the safe and unhindered humanitarian access for United Nations agencies to the conflict zone undermines the comprehensive assessment of humanitarian protection, early recovery needs and the human rights situation of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the ability to ensure the protection of the rights of the child and enable access to inclusive and quality education, health care and social services. We are particularly concerned about the continued involvement of children in State-sponsored propaganda of hatred on ethnic and religious grounds. Educational curricula in kindergartens and schools in Azerbaijan are aimed at indoctrinating children with Armeniaphobia and inciting violence and intolerance.”

  4. “The violations of international humanitarian law perpetrated by Azerbaijan have been widely documented by international humanitarian and international human rights organizations. In the aftermath of the aggression, hundreds of cluster bomblets and other explosive remnants of war, which are spread across civilian settlements and agricultural lands, continue to cause serious security risks to the lives of civilians, in particular children.”

  5. “In our region, we continue to face the humanitarian consequences of the premeditated military aggression of Azerbaijan in the fall of 2020, amid an outbreak of the unprecedented global health-care crisis, which resulted in thousands of casualties, displacements and the destruction of critical civilian infrastructure and took a particularly heavy toll on children. Among the 19,000 displaced people from Nagorno-Karabakh, 88 per cent of them were women and children. Deliberate bombardment and shelling, including by prohibited weapons, such as cluster munitions, heavily damaged several medical facilities, including Stepanakert’s maternal and child health centre. Targeted attacks on educational institutions led to the destruction of 18 schools and six kindergartens in Artsakh, thereby depriving 28,000 children of their right to education.”

  6. “We condemn violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, including attacks on schools, students and educational personnel, as well as the use of schools for military purposes. International humanitarian law and international human rights law shape the crucial framework for the effective protection of children in conflict settings. In that context, we stress the imperative of intensifying the efforts of the international community to address the protection needs of children residing in conflict areas.”

  7. “We thank the presidency of Brazil for convening today’s open debate. We would like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Mrs. Virginia Gamba de Potgieter, the Executive Director of UNICEF, Ms. Catherine Russell, and Mr. Patrick Kumi for their comprehensive briefings. Children continue to be disproportionately affected by armed conflicts. We are very concerned about the high number of grave violations against children, as reflected in the recent report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict (S/2022/493), including their recruitment and use, their killing and maiming and the denial of humanitarian access to them.”
