  1. Mrs. Narváez Ojeda (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile thanks the Permanent Mission of Ghana for convening this timely debate, and the briefers for their important interventions. Peace operations can be considered one of the most visible tools of the work of the United Nations, but we recognize that the complex international context in which we find ourselves subjects them to various tensions and new needs. For example, the spread of the coronavirus disease intensified many national and international conflicts as a result of the social and economic tensions caused by the health crisis, which directly affected peace operations throughout the world.

  2. Chile reiterates its commitment to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and its nine subsequent resolutions in hopes that as an international community we will be able to respond to the challenges.

  3. Education also plays a unique role in preventing violence and empowering children and youth to succeed and be agents of change despite their complex circumstances. Moreover, good practices of inclusion have shown that conflict-affected women and girls have gained gradual economic security and autonomy through increased access to, and control over, resources, the promotion of specific skills and the generation of the employment and education opportunities they need. We recognize the gaps in funding and data collection in order to be able to promote the approaches described above. We invite the international community, within the framework of the current situation and in line with the commitments to reduce military spending, to better channel resources to education and social protection systems.

  4. Chile promotes structural approaches where the full and meaningful participation of all women at all levels of decision-making is guaranteed. We will also not succeed in paving the road to long-term peace if measures are not adopted to not only prevent and condemn sexual and gender-based violence, in particular harmful practices and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war, but to guarantee access to justice for survivors while ensuring accountability for perpetrators. In particular, I would like to refer to three transformative elements — women’s economic empowerment, the collection and analysis of disaggregated data and the importance of access to education. Everyone has the right to an education without fear of violence or attack.

  5. How do we explain the gradual detriment each year of the situation of women and girls in conflict, while we have at our disposal the Rome Statute, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the women and peace and security agenda and the various provisions of international humanitarian law? We can do more, as an international community, to ensure that those frameworks interact and complement each other, fully prioritizing their implementation. Furthermore, the fact that female representation in conflict-resolution processes stood at 19 per cent, as compared to 23 per cent in 2020, reminds us that the quality of a peace agreement is demonstrated in its implementation and its potential to produce positive effects on people’s daily lives.

  6. Mrs. Narváez Ojeda (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I thank the presidency of Gabon for convening today’s debate. I also thank the speakers for their important contribution to this debate. Chile aligns itself with the statement delivered on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. In 2021, the United Nations verified almost 3,300 cases of conflict-related sexual violence, 800 more than the previous year. In addition, rape and other forms of sexual violence against children in conflict situations increased by 20 per cent in 2021, and 98 per cent of the survivors were girls.

  7. We must continue to strengthen an integrated and synergistic response that contributes to building resilient societies that support children from the origins of conflict through repairing the cycles of violence, hopefully enabling them to move from being victims to being agents of change.

  8. We therefore recognize the need to provide them with support for their reintegration into society and to heal the trauma caused by their painful experiences, including through mental health and psychosocial support services. Urgent action is needed to ensure that all children, particularly stateless, refugee and displaced children, are better protected from grave violations and abuses, including recruitment, trafficking and detention. In this regard, we reiterate the importance of the independence, impartiality and credibility of the Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism established by resolution 1612 (2005). Most important, we owe it to these brave children to continue to seek solutions.

  9. We urge parties to conflict to accede to the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and practical protection instruments, including the Paris Principles and Commitments, the Safe Schools Declaration and the Vancouver Principles. In addition, we highlight the importance of implementing a gender approach to child-protection mandates to prevent and address the occurrence of one or more of the six violations from a trauma-informed approach, based on the needs of children. Chile also strongly condemns the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. In this context, we wish to recognize that children, particularly those associated with armed forces or armed groups and former child soldiers, should be treated as victims.

  10. Consequently, protecting them and safeguarding their rights is a moral imperative for the international community. In that light, Chile, as a signatory to the Safe Schools Declaration, reiterates the importance of protecting schools from attacks in order to guarantee the right to quality education for children, so that they can be agents of change to halt cycles of violence and in so doing contribute to placing their communities on the path towards lasting peace. Against that backdrop, we appeal to all parties to conflict to respect international law, including international humanitarian law, and to refrain from attacking infrastructure critical to civilians in conflict situations.

  11. Mrs. Narváez Ojeda (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile thanks the Permanent Mission of Brazil for having convened this timely debate. We also thank the briefers for their important statements. Moreover, Chile endorses the statement made by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Children and Armed Conflict. Chile expresses its concern at the 23,982 grave violations against children verified by the United Nations in 2021: killings, maimings, the recruitment of children and the denial of humanitarian access were the most frequent violations recorded. Children are the ones who suffer disproportionately from the consequences of conflicts despite the fact that they have nothing to do with their causes or continuation.

  12. We count on the support and cooperation of international organizations to meet the commitments of the women and peace and security agenda and to expedite the full, equal and meaningful participation of women, in all their diversity, in all decisions that involve them.

  13. Our country was also a pioneer in Latin America in drafting an action plan in 2009 for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Subsequently, a second action plan was drawn up, and a third one is currently being developed to ensure women’s participation in the contexts of negotiation, mediation, peacebuilding and peace consolidation. The current political circumstances, particularly the invasion of Ukraine, and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war are equally a reminder that the theme of today’s open debate must remain at the forefront of our efforts for a fairer world without violence. The safety of women, girls and boys and the setting up of, and strict respect for, humanitarian corridors in situations of war must be the focus of our collective efforts.

  14. In that regard, Chile promotes the strengthening of regional and international cooperation to bring about structural changes to ensure the full and meaningful participation of all women at all levels of decision-making, the empowerment of all women, the prevention of sexual and gender-based violence and access to justice for victims and survivors, as well as accountability for the perpetrators. At the regional level, Chile is a founding member of the Women, Peace and Security Focal Points Network. Similarly, we are a co-founder of the Regional Network of Mediators of the Southern Cone, a forum for cooperation established to ensure an increase in the number of women receiving gender-sensitive mediation training to enable them to participate in peace talks and mediation amid humanitarian crises or in conflict and post-conflict situations.

  15. Chile aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security, and reiterates its commitment to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and the nine subsequent resolutions on the matter. It is worrying that in 2020 women accounted for only 23 per cent of the representatives in peace processes led or co-led by the United Nations. Moreover, the percentage of peace agreements with gender- based provisions stands at only 28.6 per cent.

  16. Mrs. Narváez Ojeda (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): I am very pleased that my first statement in this main organ of the United Nations as Chile’s Permanent Representative relates to the topic of women and peace and security. It has long been a primary focus of Chile’s multilateral foreign policy and will be a priority in President Gabriel Boric’s Government’s development of its feminist foreign policy. I thank the Albanian presidency for convening today’s open debate. I also want to highlight the initiative of the Accountability, Coherence and Transparency group in putting this topic on the Council’s agenda, and I thank the briefers for their important contribution to today’s discussion.
