  1. “It requires concerted action at the global and national levels, complemented by the strong leadership of the Security Council. We seize this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to continuing to work with all stakeholders at the multilateral and bilateral levels in our common fight against human trafficking.”

  2. “It not only provides the first agreed international definition of trafficking in persons, but also establishes a framework of obligations and standards for Member States to elaborate national responses to fight human trafficking. Applying those international instruments and relevant domestic laws is crucial to ensuring accountability for those who engage in human trafficking in conflict situations. If humanitarian action is to effectively support the victims of human trafficking and sexual violence, we see a need for humanitarian agencies to engage the services of relevant experts, while paying special attention to the gender dimension of the problem. The fight against human trafficking in conflict situations is beyond the capacity of any one State.”

  3. “With regard to how the United Nations can work closely together to fight human trafficking in conflict situations and in the context of terrorism while delivering its respective mandates, our view is that this could be facilitated by improved coordination. As different agencies have different capacities in terms of expertise, a coordinated approach would enhance the overall effectiveness of the United Nations in the fight against human trafficking and terrorism. Concerning how Member States can better implement applicable legal obligations to combat human trafficking, we see aneed for greater commitment to the implementation of relevant international instruments. The Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children is a case in point.”

  4. “We acknowledge the important role our neighbours - Benin, Cameroon, Chad and the Niger - are playing in the fight against Boko Haram. The concept note raises very significant issues and I am pleased to share our perspectives on some ofthem. With regard to how the Security Council can better integrate the issue of human trafficking in conflict situations in its work, we in Nigeria believe that this could be achieved through enhanced engagement of the Council with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the International Organization for Migration, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate and other relevant actors.”

  5. “Terrorist groups, such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham and Boko Haram, operating with complete disregard for international law and international humanitarian law, have introduced a new dimension to trafficking in persons and the sexual exploitation of women and girls. Their outrageous acts of depravity have shocked the world and drawn unprecedented attention to the plight of women and girls in conflict situations. The war crimes and crimes against humanity that they commit must not go unpunished. We are pleased to state that Boko Haram has been militarily defeated and while some success has been achieved in liberating a good number of the women and girls they held hostage, we shall not relent until all of their hostages are freed and reunited with their loved ones.”

  6. “I would like, at the outset, to express my sincere condolences and total shock at the dastardly assassination of the Russian Ambassador in Turkey. I think this highlights again what we all have to do at the international level to really tackle these terrorist crimes. The Nigerian delegation thanks you, Mr. President, for organizing this open debate and for the well- researched concept note (S/2016/1031, annex) provided to guide our discussion. We also would like to thank our briefers for sharing their perspectives on this important subject. Conflict situations expose civilians, especially women and girls, to grave dangers, such as human trafficking, sexual violence and slavery.”
