  1. “We are also proud to share another milestone — the adoption of the ASEAN Regional Plan of Action on Women, Peace and Security, at the fortieth and forty- first ASEAN Summits, held in Cambodia in November 2022. The Plan aims to galvanize ASEAN to advance the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda to promote sustainable peace and security for all citizens and to boost the four pillars of women’s participation, namely protection, prevention and relief and recovery from conflicts. To conclude, allow me to reiterate Cambodia’s strong commitment to implementing the women and peace and security agenda for the sake of humankind.”

  2. “Cambodia, a nation that cherishes peace, has transformed itself from a host country into an active contributor to United Nations peacekeeping operations since 2006, deploying 9,205 troops, including 728 women, to countries in Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Cambodia’s commitment is never limited with regard to promoting the vital role of women in leadership, peace and security. In 2022, Cambodia ranked twelfth among 121 troop-contributing countries and second among ASEAN countries in terms of the number of women peacekeepers deployed. Currently, Cambodia deploys 903 troops, of which 148 are women. This number equals 16.42 per cent, exceeding the United Nations limit of 15 per cent.”

  3. “This resolution wisely recognizes women’s significant contributions to conflict resolution and sustainable peace. However, there are some cases in which women may struggle to contribute to their societies owing to a lack of opportunities. Therefore, my delegation urges all Member States to fully empower women through national policies and strategies for the implementation of the resolution. And it is important that we translate our commitments into concrete actions. In that regard, Cambodia is proud to share our progress towards enhancing women’s participation across all sectors. This includes prominent positions in the public sector, such as the President of the National Assembly of Cambodia being a woman, and an increased number of female ministers, amounting to 10 per cent of our newly formed Government, announced last August.”

  4. “First, I would like to express my appreciation to you, Mr. President, for convening today’s crucial debate on “Women’s participation in international peace and security: from theory to practice”. I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Secretary-General, the briefers and previous speakers for their insightful remarks. Cambodia aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Viet Nam on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Allow me to speak now in my national capacity. The significant role of women in various sectors, notably the socioeconomic scope, has been recognized for many years. Yet, it is only after the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) that women’s role in and contributions to peace and security have been acknowledged.”

  5. “More women, especially those in the armed forces, should be encouraged to get involved in that endeavour. Thirdly, enhancing accountability is the most difficult issue. Ideally, State or non-State actors condoning sexual abuse or weaponizing it for attrition or retribution should be made accountable. However, the challenges lie in the process being politicized, the question of victims’ safety and the need for a victim- centred approach. In conclusion, Cambodia strongly condemns all forms of sexual violence and calls for an end to all conflicts. We believe that conflict and instability are major factors that contribute to sexual violence and that peace and stability are essential to preventing that crime.”

  6. “Pramila Patten, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, that more actions are needed. Allow me to highlight a few points. First, on prevention, Member States should prioritize working together on the prevention of conflict and the escalation of existing conflicts. It is important to strengthen national legislation to ensure accountability for sexual crimes committed by members of the armed forces. Education and training with the involvement of women and victims should be mainstreamed within the armed forces, including those deployed as part of international peacekeeping missions. Secondly, on victims’ support, members of the armed forces should also be a part of the efforts to assist victims’ recovery and integration.”

  7. “First, my delegation would like to thank you, Mr. President, for convening today’s debate on conflict-related sexual violence and promoting the implementation of Security Council resolutions on conflict-related sexual violence. We highly appreciate the Secretary-General’s timely report on conflict- related sexual violence and the efforts of United Nations Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict. Allow me to also thank all the briefers and speakers before me for sharing their insights on the topic. We all know that it is difficult to reduce conflict- related sexual violence when there are so many active conflicts and so much instability around the world. The trend of using sexual violence against women and girls as a means of terror and retribution is alarming. Therefore, I cannot agree more with the view of Ms.”
