  1. “The existing normative framework on the protection of civilians must be translated into concrete results on the ground. We hope that the Council will redouble its efforts to find the best ways to make that happen.”

  2. “We also support the Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers. Argentina reaffirms the effective and preventive effect of accountability mechanisms. In that regard, I would like to highlight the work of the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission and the central role of the International Criminal Court. We want to point out that in accordance with its Rome Statute, the Court has jurisdiction over many attacks on civilian populations. Lastly, it is worrying that some measures in the fight against terrorism continue to affect humanitarian activities. We reiterate the General Assembly's call to States to ensure that legislation and measures against terrorism do not impede such activities.”

  3. “In recognizing that young people constitute a large proportion of the civilians affected by armed conflicts and that the interruption of access to education and economic opportunities has decisive consequences for peace, Argentina reiterates its call to States that have not yet done so to endorse the Safe Schools Declaration. In that regard, next week in Palma de Mallorca we wish Spain a successful third International Conference on Safe Schools, in which we will be proud to participate. The Council must continue to consider specific situations, as it has done in the case of women, children, journalists and medical personnel. We want to emphasize the importance of the role of the system for the protection of children in armed conflicts, which must receive the support it needs to fulfil its mandate.”

  4. “With regard to humanitarian assistance, the parties to a conflict must make every effort to guarantee effective and timely access to humanitarian assistance, including shipments and materials, which enjoys special protection under international humanitarian law. In 2018, Argentina signed the Santiago de Chile communique supporting the process designed to lead to the negotiation and adoption of an international political declaration on the use of explosive weapons in populated areas, which results in deaths, injuries and trauma to civilians, destroys essential infrastructure, creates involuntary displacement and leaves behind explosive remnants that represent a long-term threat. Argentina therefore welcomes the Secretary-General's approach to tackling this threat in his Agenda for Disarmament.”

  5. “The Republic of Argentina also supports the Vision centred on prevention and early warning for the mandates promoted by the Secretary-General on the protection of civilians, as well as the connection with the second pillar of the responsibility to protect - a concept that we have helped to consolidate. We believe that the protection of civilians in peace missions requires the cooperation of their military, police and civilian components. For that reason, the peacekeeping forces deployed by Argentina receive training on human rights, gender and humanitarian issues. We also have an active policy of international cooperation on prevention, and we believe it is essential to advance the mainstreaming of the women and peace and security agenda across the entire United Nations system.”

  6. “Argentina believes it essential that the protection of civilians during peacekeeping operations take place within a framework of respect for the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. It is necessary to strengthen protection activities in the mandates of peacekeeping operations and to ensure that they have the resources necessary for their implementation. The use of force in response to threats of physical violence against civilians must also be authorized in accordance with the applicable legal obligations, the mandate established by the Council and the specific rules of confrontation and engagement of each mission. We believe that unarmed strategies to protect civilians in peacekeeping operations are valuable instruments that can help promote the pursuit of peaceful solutions.”

  7. “Mr. Marani (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): Twenty years after the incorporation of this agenda item into our programme of work, it is crucial that the Security Council remain committed to the protection of civilians in armed conflict by promoting international law, particularly humanitarian law, human rights law and refugee law, as well as the fight against impunity. In the context of the seventieth anniversary of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949, it is imperative to recall the obligations arising from those instruments, including the Protocols Additional of 1977, the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 and customary international law.”
