  1. “We believe that the Council fully understands the throes of Nepal's historic transformation and that it stands by our side as a gesture of international support that will revitalize our efforts in the peace process. I would like to assure the Council that the Government of Nepal will make every sincere effort to allow UNMIN to complete its given activities by the end of its current mandate.”

  2. “I would like to reiterate before this Council once again that the political parties, despite their differences, are engaged in dialogue to forge consensus in the spirit of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. The Constituent Assembly has been working vigorously on drafting a constitution. The Nepalese people are eager to see how their concerns and voices will be reflected in the new constitution-making process, once the Constituent Assembly puts forward a draft constitution for a final round of consultations among the people. Similarly, the Special Committee on army integration and its Technical Committee are at work. Preparations to discharge the minors are making significant progress with the help of UNMIN and other United Nations agencies. We are determined to carry out our obligations in that regard.”

  3. “We have witnessed Nepal's historic transformation process moving forward with many ebbs and flows since the signing of the peace agreement. We are confident that the peace process will not drift from its progressive and steady course, since the political forces of Nepal are resilient and accommodative in nature. We believe that the flexible attitude of the political parties will guide them towards the logical conclusion of the peace process. We are also confident that current situation in Nepal will be resolved soon through dialogue and consensus among the political parties in the Constituent Assembly. It will in no way jeopardize the peace process.”

  6. “The Government of Nepal reiterates its commitment to releasing combatants who are minors, ending impunity for crimes against children and protecting children from sexual violence and other grave crimes against them, in the spirit of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, as children are the foundation of the peaceful and prosperous future of our country. The Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction has taken the lead role in the release, reintegration and rehabilitation of combatants who are minors on the basis of the broad consensus of the Army Integration Special Committee and its Technical Committee. To this end, the Government of Nepal would welcome cooperation from United Nations agencies, including the United Nations Mission in Nepal, for the early release and reintegration of combatants who are minors.”

  7. “Since the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in November 2006, Nepal has travelled quite a distance in its historic political transformation. For the first time, people are writing their Constitution, through their elected representatives in the Constituent Assembly. Writing a new Constitution and guiding the peace process to its logical conclusion are the two fundamental tasks ahead of this Government. The Government of Nepal is committed to fulfilling these historic responsibilities with the consensus of political parties and stakeholders. Nepal, as a signatory to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, has devised the necessary legal instruments and established a legal and administrative framework for the promotion and protection of the rights of the child.”

  8. “Governments, the international community and civil society must come up with rapid, effective and coordinated efforts to prevent heinous crimes against children during conflict. To that end, our great commitments must be matched with adequate human and financial resources on the ground to monitor the situation, rescue the victims and bring the violators to justice. There is a clear need for time-bound and tailor- made action plans for rescuing the victims and for their reintegration into their family and society in the aftermath of conflict. We clearly see the need for a comprehensive approach linked with overall development policies for the sustained promotion and protection of the rights of the child.”

  9. “The international community has rightfully been devoting its attention to the issue of children and armed conflict for several years. In addition to the generic conventions, such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child, there are other international instruments, commitments and principles devised to protect the rights of the child. In line with that, we appreciate the initiatives of the Security Council in adopting various resolutions, including resolution 1612 (2005), for the protection and promotion of the rights of children affected by armed conflict. Children are the most vulnerable sector of the population in times of conflict. They are easily used and abused, as they are incapable of judging what is right and wrong for themselves.”

  10. “Thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this open debate on the important issue of children and armed conflict. We are confident that this debate will assess the magnitude of the problem from wider perspectives and help consolidate international cooperation for the implementation of our shared commitments. We appreciate the thoughtful statement by the Secretary-General in the Council this morning. We also appreciate the presentations by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ms. Radhika Coomaraswamy, and her role in this issue. We commend Under-Secretary-General Alain Le Roy and UNICEF Executive Director Ann Veneman for their presentations. We were very much moved by the descriptions of Ms. Grace Akallo on the plight of child soldiers.”
