1. “Combating impunity is important, not only for the purposes ofprosecuting such crimes and bringing those responsible to justice, but also for ensuring sustainable peace, truce and reconciliation. We join the call for efforts to be stepped up at all levels to reduce the grave impact of conflicts on children, and to uphold justice by bringing to account those who perpetrate crimes against children, including non-State actors and those who fuel them, both ideologically and financially. Education and outreach campaigns can be effective tools for protecting children from violence and abuse, both during intensive and passive phases of armed conflict. The promotion of hatred in speech, ideas of ethnic incompatibility and racial superiority perpetuate the vicious cycle of violence.”

2. “Twenty years after the signing of the ceasefire agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, that agreement is violated regularly. Our children have been targets of both indiscriminate and deliberate attacks. As a result of sniper fire alone, Fariz Badalov, a nine-year-old boy, was killed in Agdam. Aygun Shahmaliyeva, a 13-year-old girl, was killed in the Alibayli village of the Tovuz region bordering Armenia, when a bomb implanted in a toy exploded. In August 2014, five-year-old Mujan Ariba, 17-year-old Farid Mammadov, l4-year-old Sahans Malov, 15-year- old Shahlalah Tariba, lO-year-old Aushkara Basov were seriously wounded by Armenian snipers. The list is not exhaustive; it merely illustrates recent examples.”

3. “Despite that progress, important though it is, non-combatants, particularly children, continue to be exposed to great risk. Much needs to be done. I shall briefly outline a few key concerns. Once conflict begins, children are among the first to suffer from its effects and consequences. As long as a conflict continues, indiscriminate and deliberate attacks, losses and atrocities are inevitable. The Council should focus on the prevention, resolution, and most importantly, address the root causes of conflict. All parties to a conflict should implement their commitments under international humanitarian law and cease violence against civilians, especially children. Ceasefire agreements can be an important practical step toward curbing violence; however, it is only a temporary measure and does not guarantee the safety and security of civilians.”

4. “I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening this debate on children and armed conflict. Let me also thank all today's briefers for their insightful and moving statements, and commend Special Representative of the Secretary-General Ms. Leila Zerrougui's determined efforts to protect the rights of children trapped in conflicts. As the briefers have noted, there has been some progress in the protection efforts in various hot spots. This includes the strengthened support to relative normative frameworks in the crises-affected countries; better integration of child protection in key mandated areas of peacekeeping operations; and global advocacy campaigning, such as that of "Children, Not Soldiers", just to name a few.”

5. “It is crucial that the impact of natural resources on inter-State conflicts, particularly the illegal exportation of such resources by States in violation of international law, also receive the Council's due consideration within its thematic work. We firmly believe that an effective peacebuilding process in the post-conflict context can take root and succeed if a genuine peace, based on the generally accepted norms and principles of international law, in particular those pertaining to respect for the territorial integrity and political independence of a State, are established on the ground.”

6. “The impact of conflict on housing, land and property, as well as the violation of the principle of non-discrimination with regard to internally displaced persons and refugees, including forced demographic changes, require a more consistent approach in order to put an end to illegal practices and policies and to ensure a safe and dignified return of those displaced to their homes. It is important that the international community facilitate opportunities in order to ensure that the rights of forcibly displaced people are guaranteed and protected. Fifthly, in the case of foreign occupation, the exportation of natural resources and other illegal activities are pursued with the sole objective of consolidating military gains, preventing the expelled population to return to their homes and obstructing ongoing efforts aimed at achieving peace.”

7. “Secondly, the violation of the rights of civilians, in particular in connection with ethnic cleansing, has become a widespread problem in the context of armed conflicts. The need to develop tools for egregious violations of international law, including violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, the provision of effective and adequate reparation to victims and the need for institutional action to prevent recurrence of such violence are all necessary adjuncts to true conflict resolution. Thirdly, the fight against impunity for past crimes should be at the core of the peace and reconciliation agenda. F ourthly, the protracted displacement of populations as a result of aggression and foreign occupation is another obstacle to inclusive development.”

8. “It is important that the Council continue to promote peace, security and development as mutually reinforcing pillars. For other countries suffering from conflict and foreign occupation, drawing lessons from the work of the PBC, we strongly believe that conflict resolution and post-conflict peacebuilding are dependent on a number of underlying principles. First, there can be no peace without justice. No peace settlement can be reached that is inconsistent with international law, particularly where pre-emptory norms are concerned, such as the prohibition of aggression, genocide and racial discrimination and the obligation to respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of States.”

9. “I would like to thank the Chilean presidency of the Security Council for organizing this very important and timely meeting on the topic of the maintenance of international peace and security. I am also grateful to Ambassador Antonio Patriota, Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission (PBC), and Nobel Peace Prize winner Ms. Leymah Gbowee for their insightful briefings. Peace and security have increasingly and invariably become a development issue. Conflicts bring about casualties whose consequences extend far beyond those killed and wounded. The cost of armed conflict and insecurity throughout the world is enormous, whether in terms of human suffering, loss of social capital or economically. Conflicts undermine the basic political, social and financial institutions required to maintain stability and promote inclusive development.”

10. “Azerbaijan remains committed to implementation and is pleased to have made a contribution to the work of the Council during its presidency in October 2013, including the adoption ofresolution 2122 (2013). We look forward to the high-level review of the implementation and cooperation with interested States, UN-Women and other relevant entities in the process of preparations of the global study.”

11. “It is critical to ensure respect for the rule of law, and that the rule of law in conflict and post-conflict situations comprehensively promotes justice and accountability in ways that further the equal rights of women and their right to equal participation in decision-making. Reparation programmes, a key justice priority for women, deserve greater attention and support as a tool for delivering justice and recovery for victims and long-term peace dividends within communities. The need to rebuild the justice and security sectors is critical, not only for the protection of women and combating impunity, but also for enabling women to participate in all aspects of post-conflict reconstruction and rehabilitation, which are key pillars of the women and peace and security agenda.”

12. “On the next steps, while appreciating that gains have been made in strengthening the political will and international legal framework to secure justice for conflict-related sexual violence crimes, we believe that more attention should be paid to addressing the full range of violations and crimes experienced by women, including gendered impacts of enforced disappearances, foreign occupation, mass forced diplacement, restrictions on humanitarian aid, conflict- related trafficking and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Combating impunity and strengthening both international and national justice responses to these crimes is equally crucial.”

13. “Prevention should be our common goal, and we share the view that it is important to explore the broader prevention aspects of resolution 1325 (2000). In this regard, we welcome the establishment of the designation criteria relating to human rights and sexual violence within the current sanctions regime as an important step towards the operationalization of prevention and enforcement tools. Strengthening mechanisms for the control of small arms and lights weapons and enforcement can also serve as effective means of prevention. In the meantime, we should remained focused on strengthening the capacity and capability of peacekeeping missions to identify early risks and effectively respond to them, including through regular training for gender advisers and the promotion of the role of women protection advisers in peacekeeping missions.”

14. “The unresolved conflicts in many parts of the world - involving continued incidents of violence against women and girls, mass displacement flows and related humanitarian crisis - require renewed attention to the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda and leadership to deliver on the commitments set out in the landmark resolution 1325 (2000). We welcome the efforts that the United Nations system has put in place to mainstream the priorities and commitments under the women and peace and security agenda into policy and operational tools. These certainly have contributed to strengthening normative and institutional safeguards and accountability frameworks in support of implementation. Beyond doubt, much more needs to be done by States, the United Nations system, and human rights and humanitarian actors.”

15. “Greater and timely support for efforts promote gender equality and facilitate women's economic and political empowerment can be an important practical step towards mitigating the vulnerability of displaced women in conflict and post-conflict settings. Special attention should be paid to the situation of women and girls in protracted displacement. By the same token, more needs to be done to strengthen the capacities of Governments and to complement efforts of hosting societies to ensure the sustainable social reintegration and rehabilitation of displaced persons, in particular women and girls.”

16. “It is a matter of great concern, as highlighted in the report, that these trends are deliberate campaigns against women's rights. Based on our own tragic experiences of the aggression to which Azerbaijan was exposed in the early 1990s, acts of violence and the trauma they cause to victims are not easy to heal physically and psychologically, and have long-term impacts on societies that also have a bearing on the prospects of lasting peace and reconciliation. In situations of mass displacement, ensuring the physical security, well-being and protection ofthe rights of women should be seen not as an add-on element, but rather as an essential component of the protection agenda.”

17. “I wish to thank you, Madam President, for having convened this important debate to discuss ways to advance the women and peace and security agenda, with a focus on displaced women. I also thank the Secretary-General for his insightful report (S/2014/693), which updates us on the progress and challenges pertaining to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Our appreciation also goes to all briefers for their informative statements earlier today. Conflicts, with their security, socioeconomic and humanitarian implications, continue to expose affected countries on the whole, and women in particular, to the full range of human rights violations. Regrettably, abuse, gender-based violence and discrimination have become recognizable patterns in the conflict and post-conflict settings.”
