  4. “Before moving on, I want to really express the appreciation of Sweden for the strong commitment and engagement of everyone during the debate this morning. It is sometimes tempting to express that commitment through very long statements, as we know. Ijust have to remind speakers to limit their statements to no more than three minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. To that end, let me take the opportunity to remind speakers that the presidency will use the flashing lights on the collars of the microphones to remind speakers that it is time to sum up and bring their remarks to a close. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate the text in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber.”

  5. “Our responsibility for us in the Council is to consider the effect of conflict on children in all our work and in the renewal of mission mandates by ensuring every mission has child protection advisers and by including children's perspectives in our discussions. I can think of no better way to address the root causes of conflict than by giving children a loving and safe childhood and protecting them from the scourge of war. It is up to us to live up to our responsibilities and to deliver on the children's demands. It is up to us to prevent the conflicts of tomorrow by protecting children today. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I call on the Prime Minister of Aruba, Kingdom of the Netherlands.”

  6. “We must listen to children and hear their perspectives, as well as their proposals for solutions. In that vein, Sweden, together with UNICEF and civil society partners, organized a series of child consultations around the world focusing on children as refugees and agents for peace, as well as the reintegration of former child soldiers. We also organized consultations in Sweden. All that resulted in recommendations where the messages from children to us, as decision makers, are clear: provide security and safety; put food on the table; ensure education; provide care for the sick or injured; and, above all else, end war. We have agreed on today's resolution; now we must implement it. Special Representative Gamba is working with partners to develop practical guidance and tools to integrate child protection issues into peace processes.”

  7. “Fourthly, the resolution links the children and armed conflict agenda to the Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we can leave no child behind. Fifthly, for the first time in a Council resolution, it states the central principle that children in armed conflict should be treated primarily as victims. Sixthly, the resolution stresses accountability for all violations and abuses against children - not just the gravest crimes - thereby setting a new standard for the prevention of human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law. There can be no exceptions to humanity, and there can be no exceptions to international humanitarian law. Finally, the resolution addresses the need to also consider the views of children.”

  8. “Today's resolution emphasizes how the children and armed conflict agenda is integral to conflict prevention and sustaining peace. Secondly, the resolution sets out a framework for the reintegration of children associated with armed forces or armed groups. Successful reintegration is in the best interest of the child, but also in the best interest of societies. The resolution places children as part of the solution, not part of the problem. Thirdly, the resolution recognizes that access for all girls and boys to education and health care, including mental health, in conflict is essential. Also, for the first time, the resolution distinguishes between girls and boys and makes the point that their needs and vulnerabilities are different.”

  9. “They are at risk of becoming victims of sexual violence. They are at risk of having no other school than what war teaches them: loss, fear, hatred and revenge. While the need to do more is clear, our concerted efforts are having an effect. Over the past two decades, 130,000 children have been released from armed groups. In the last two years, more than 12,000 children received United Nations assistance for reintegration. With today's unanimous adoption of resolution 2427 (2018) we not only strengthen the children and armed conflict agenda more broadly, but we also further the prevention agenda. Let me highlight a few ways by which that is done. First, children's needs are often overlooked when peace is negotiated. Indeed, universal concern for children may sometimes open the door to finding new solutions.”

  10. “I thank Ms. Londofio for her briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Prime Minister of Sweden. First, I would like to thank Special Representative Gamba and Executive Director Fore for their important, and at times difficult-to-listen-to, briefings to the Security Council. Let me also thank Yenny Londofio for sharing her inspirational story and adequate demands. Childhood is not just the start of our life, it is the foundation of it. It is the base from which we reach our full potential and the base for peaceful and prosperous societies. Put simply, ensuring the care, safety and protection of children today prevents conflicts tomorrow. Yet we are not doing nearly enough to protect our children. Approximately 350 million children are affected by armed conflict today. They are at risk of being killed, or maimed.”
