  1. “Their activities and cooperation are crucial for truly ameliorating the plight of children. We also encourage continuous and meaningful dialogue between the Security Council, the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Last but not least, we hope that the General Assembly's special session on children, which had to be postponed owing to the tragic events of 11 September, will resume in 2002 and will result in a new and ambitious agenda for our children.”

  2. “By establishing the centre, Slovenia, in cooperation with other interested countries and international and local partners, hopes to create an efficient framework to provide a comprehensive, continuous and organized approach to providing protection and assistance to traumatized children in South-Eastern Europe and, possibly, elsewhere. Let me also reiterate Slovenia's recognition of and strong support for the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Mr. Olara Otunnu. I also wish to express our recognition and strong support to the United Nations Children's Fund and to Ms. Bellamy personally, and to other United Nations agencies and organizations and non-governmental organizations which contribute expertise, resources and operational capacities for the well-being of children.”

  3. “By establishing and activating this centre, Slovenia, a small United Nations Member with limited resources, hopes to contribute to the well-being and improve the mental health of war-affected children, particularly in South-Eastern Europe. We believe that long-term social conciliation in the region will depend in particular on the psychological state of younger generations. We wish to share our expertise in the area of the mental health of children, as well as our profound understanding of the situation in the region and of the culture and traditions there. We would like to make available our knowledge and resources for the benefit of the children of the region.”

  4. “He did so most recently when referring to the situation in Afghanistan, stating: "No peace is likely to be sustainable unless children and youth are provided with rehabilitation and hope, so that they become a constructive force in rebuilding their country. Only by doing what is right for children today can we build a solid foundation for peace and security tomorrow." Following this idea, the Government of Slovenia, together with a non-governmental organization, Slovene Philanthropy, decided to launch an initiative called "Together: the Regional Centre for the Psychological Well-being of Children". Thus we have gone from worthy statements to real deeds.”

  5. “The Council also continued to play a crucial role in calling on parties to implement existing rules of international law that protect children in armed conflict. We are pleased that the new draft resolution, to be adopted today, takes into account action points highlighted in the report of the Secretary-General to further improve the well-being of children affected by armed conflict. Slovenia associates itself with the statement delivered by Belgium on behalf of the European Union, and we fully endorse it. I would therefore like to briefly highlight one particular point only. The Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Children and Armed Conflict has stressed one particular point on many occasions.”

  6. “Let me first express my sincere appreciation to you, Madam President, for convening this open debate on a subject which is especially dear to us, since Slovenia, as a non- permanent member of the Security Council at the time, had the privilege of contributing to the drafting, and of participating in the adoption, of the important resolution 1261 (1999), which recognized the protection and well-being of war-affected children as an important peace and security item. We are pleased to see the significant progress that has been achieved in the past two years. The Security Council has played an active role in the protection of children in armed conflict and has paid special attention to children in its decision-making with regard to peacemaking, peacekeeping and peace-building operations.”
