“In that regard, we encourage further national and international efforts in bringing the culture of impunity to an end. As we mark the tenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1882 (2009), we must redouble our efforts at all levels in order to effectively protect children from violence, abuse and exploitation and ensure that their human rights are well respected. Only by doing so will we ensure the well-being of entire generations, thereby building stable and peaceful societies for the future.”

“As peace operations plays crucial role in sustaining peace and preventing human rights violations, in particular against children, international child protection provisions, including the prevention of the recruitment and use of child soldiers, as well as child protection capacities, should be incorporated in peacekeeping mandates. Conflict escalations also cause significant disruptions to children's education and health care, as education and health-care facilities are often partially or completely destroyed. We believe it is crucial to ensure that children continue to have access to education, which is an indispensable aspect ofchildren's socialization and reintegration. Child protection issues should feature in the overall peace process, while the perpetrators of violations against children must be held accountable.”

“It is a crucial time to centre our efforts around ensuring the universal ratification of those instruments, particularly the Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict. Therefore, we encourage States to strengthen the legal foundation on children and armed conflict by ratifying the Optional Protocol. Apart from ratifying treaties that lay the foundation for the safeguard of children's rights and their protection from all forms of violence, Montenegro is one of the pathfinding countries of the Global Partnership to End Violence against Children. In addition, we endorsed the Principles and Guidelines on Children Associated with Armed Forces or Armed Groups, as well as the Safe Schools Declaration and the Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers.”

“We strongly support these efforts, as the prevention of violence against children, the release of child soldiers and their reintegration represent crucial elements in ensuring children's well-being and the prevention of future conflicts. In that regard, we welcome the establishment of the Global Coalition for the Reintegration of Former Child Soldiers. This year we will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the entry into force of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and next year the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of its two Optional Protocols, on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography and on the involvement of children in armed conflict.”

“We condemn in the strongest terms the continued violations against children and urge all parties to conflict to respect international humanitarian law and related laws and practices, refrain from attacking schools and hospitals, and protect those most vulnerable, particularly children. Despite the increasing level of grave violations committed against children, certain improvements in the situation of children affected by armed conflict have been made in the past year. We have witnessed the tireless efforts of the relevant stakeholders, particularly United Nations staff and civil-society partners, including child-protection advisers, to ensure the release and support the integration of more than 10,000 children.”

“Children continue to face an unacceptable risk of recruitment and use, killing and maiming, all forms of sexual violence and abduction, and they continue to suffer as the result of attacks on schools and hospitals and the denial of humanitarian access. The annual report highlights the devastating impact of new conflict dynamics and operational tactics, combined with widespread disregard for international law, on children, in 2018. There were more than 24,000 verified grave violations that year, the highest number of verified cases of the killing and maiming of children since the establishment of the monitoring and reporting mechanism.”

“At the outset, let me thank the Polish presidency for having organized an open debate on this important issue of children and armed conflict. I would also like to thank today's briefers for their valuable presentations and essential work in protecting children in conflict situations. Although Montenegro fully aligns itself with the statement made by the observer of the European Union, I would like to make some remarks in my national capacity. Once again the latest report of the Secretary- General on children and armed conflict (S/2019/509) has shown that millions of children are caught up in conflicts in which they are not merely bystanders but constitute an alarming percentage of the overall number of the casualties of war.”
