  2. “There are no more names inscribed on the list of speakers. Before adjourning the meeting, as this is the last scheduled meeting of the Council for the month of October, I would like to express the sincere appreciation of the delegation of France to the members of the Council, especially my colleagues the Permanent Representatives and their respective staff, and to the secretariat of the Council for all the support they have given to us. Indeed, it has been a busy month, and one in which we have been able to reach consensus on several important issues within our purview. We could not have done it alone or without the hard work, support and positive contributions of every delegation and the representatives of the Secretariat, as well as all relevant conference service officers, interpreters and translators.”

  5. “I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate the text in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I wish to inform all concerned that we will be carrying on this open debate right through the lunch hour, as we have a large number of speakers. I now give the floor to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Belgium.”

  6. “With regard to the particularly overwhelming reality of sexual violence, I reiterate our support for the Secretary-General's zero-tolerance policy. Justice must be rendered for such crimes. The best interests of the child must prevail. What other project could more fundamentally unite us than that of our common future - that of children? We have a collective responsibility, which is why respecting and strengthening the rights of the child must remain at the centre of our actions. I count on the Council's commitment. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I call on the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden.”

  7. “States must take responsibility and ratify international instruments that contribute to protecting children in armed conflict. With regard to reintegration, we must do our all to facilitate the permanent return of child victims of conflict to their families, while ensuring that they are monitored, particularly with respect to their psychological well-being, given the trauma they have suffered. Civil society - Save the Children, for example - does a lot in that regard. However, such policies are the primary responsibility of States. The fight against impunity is indispensable. Important initiatives have been undertaken by the International Criminal Court and several States, such as Colombia. The greatest possible pressure must be exerted on those who commit such violence.”

  8. “Armed forces, including United Nations operations - and I refer in particular to peacekeeping operations -need to be given clear concepts of operations that include prevention and the protection of children. In that respect, the deployment of child protection advisers is essential. We trust the Secretary-General to continue strengthening that dimension within peacekeeping operations. Action plans signed with the United Nations are another very important tool. I note with great interest the idea put forward by the Special Representative to also work at the regional and subregional levels. The progress highlighted in the report, as in Mali or Colombia, often takes place at the regional level. F ourthly, we must reintegrate children in accordance with international standards and fight against impunity.”

  9. “We can no longer tolerate lost generations of children, like those in Syria, who are excluded in their millions from any schooling. Where progress has been made, we must ensure that there are no setbacks, while remaining vigilant. I refer, for example, to children who have been used by armed groups in the Central African Republic; we must ensure that they can return to a healthy environment. To inform and prevent, we must thirdly strengthen our action on the ground. That is what we are doing, in close cooperation with UNICEF, in Nigeria and Yemen, so as to facilitate the reintegration of children who have been associated with armed groups.”

  10. “We also support the Special Representative's efforts to assess good practices and solutions that have already garnered results. Secondly, we must take preventive action. We must build on existing efforts to prevent Violent extremism, with a View to developing specific plans to address the new recruitment methods I have already mentioned, such as combating online radicalization, indoctrination or forced recruitment on the ground. In order to ensure more effective prevention, we can also use the results of awareness campaigns, such as the Children, Not Soldiers campaign, while paying particular attention to non-State armed groups. Education is also a major issue. Let us start by protecting schools, which are often attacked and occupied by warring parties, which is why, on 21 February, France decided to endorse the Safe Schools Declaration.”

  11. “In addition to being forcibly recruited, children are radicalized and recruited online. The use, or rather the exploitation, of children has also changed. They are now used as human bombs or shields. Girls, in particular, suffer sexual violence, are recruited as slaves, sold by human trafficking networks or forced into marriage and to become pregnant. Let us recall the fate of Iraqi Yazidi children or the Chibok girls in Nigeria. Outrage is not enough; words must lead to action. Since the launch of the children and armed conflict agenda, the Council has had a key role to play in that regard. We must take collective action and, above all, first gather as much information as possible on such Violations. The Secretary-General's report is therefore a vital tool.”

  12. “A total of 230 million children still live in countries or zones affected by armed conflict, where they continue to be recruited and separated from their families, with no access to education, care or freedom. It must be noted that children are now the targets and the tools of terrorism. They are affected by current asymmetrical conflicts, and, as annex I to the Secretary-General's report (S/2017/821) confirms, non-State armed groups are primarily responsible for those Violations. Out of 15,000 Violations, 11,500 can be attributed to them. The plight of children in Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Yemen are a sad reminder that terrorist groups, in particular, are responsible for that troubling turn of events. We also note that recruitment methods have changed.”

  13. “Ten years ago, Paris hosted an international conference in Paris on the theme "Free children from war", at which the Paris Principles - which were noted by the previous speaker - were adopted. We call on those who have not yet done so to endorse the principles, as they serve as a basis for the protection of children in conflicts and the fight against the appalling violence to which they fall victim. The Security Council has adopted six resolutions on this issue, including resolution 1612 (2005), which is a fundamental new instrument. Its evidence-based approach is based on quality information and enables us to neutrally and impartially address such challenges. The international monitoring and reporting system at the Secretary-General's disposal plays a major role in that regard. In spite of such progress, much remains to be done.”

  14. “Because it is a universal moral obligation, for more than 20 years, the international community has been working to denounce, end and prevent the recruitment and use of children by States and non-State armed groups - a point that was underscored by the Secretary-General and the Special Representative. The international community's efforts have enabled genuine progress to be made. More than 110,000 child soldiers have been released since 2000 and almost 60,000 between 2007 and 2015. For many years my country has been committed to protecting children in armed conflict. Since 1999, France has promoted the adoption of effective tools to protect children in conflict situations, some of them here in this very Chamber.”

  15. “I reaffirm France's full support for their efforts. I would also like to thank Mr. Mubin Shaikh for his important briefing. His testimony is a indeed a warning. I also commend UNICEF and civil society actors for their efforts. Every day, they help us move the agenda forward. I would like to thank our Swedish, Italian and Senegalese colleagues with whom we have worked closely to ensure that today's meeting complements the Paris Conference on 21 February. We must continue along the path to a world without children who are victims of armed conflict. We have a shared responsibility to ensure that children are where they should be - in classrooms and loved by their families, not on the battlefield.”

  16. “I thank Mr. Shaikh for his briefing. The Council has before it the text of a statement by the President on behalf of the Council on the matter on the Council's agenda. I thank the members of the Security Council for their valuable contributions to the statement. In accordance with the understanding reached among the members ofthe Council, the statement by the President will be issued as a document of the Security Council under the symbol S/PRST/2017/21. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France. At the outset, on behalf of the French presidency of the Council, I would like to thank the Secretary-General and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict for their briefings and their commitment.”
