  1. “The universal language of sport perfectly encapsulates the four "P's of resolution 2250 (2015): participation, protection, prevention and partnerships. We must not underestimate the capacity of sport to contribute to curbing violence, restoring trust, re-establishing social ties, ensuring the reintegration of ex-combattants and supporting their physical and emotional recovery. The recommendations in paragraph 60 of the study are particularly interesting. The investment of $1 per young person between today and 2025 - which will mark the tenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 2250 (2015) - would be a great symbolic success, all the more resounding if it young people are involved. We are fully confident that the Secretary-General's Envoy on Youth will be able to assist us in achieving that.”

  2. “Founded in 2007 in Monaco by Olympic champion Joel Bouzou, the organization Peace and Sport enjoys the patronage of Prince Albert II. It supports programmes in five continents and benefits from a network of champions for peace. Sporting activities are particularly important on a day-to-day basis, because of crowding in camps for refugee and internally displaced persons, and for United Nations peacekeeping operations. That was demonstrated in 2017 in South Sudan with a volleyball competition, and more recently, in 2018, as part of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali, where the Civil Affairs Division organized a football tournament to promote education and social cohesion.”

  3. “As the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes, sport has made a growing contribution to development and peace in its promotion of tolerance and respect, the empowerment of women and youth, individuals and communities, as well as health, education and social inclusion objectives. The Group of Friends of Sport for Development and Peace, which Monaco has co-chaired since 2010 with Tunisia, promotes the unique tool that brings together communities and individuals - a tool that deserves further integration into strategies for both conflict prevention and post-conflict rehabilitation and peacebuilding. The testimonies that we receive from the Group of Friends are unequivocal: sport is a simple and effective vehicle for bridging social, religious and racial gaps and even for combating gender discrimination.”

  4. “More than half of the world's population is under the age of 30 and nearly 90 per cent of those young people live in the very areas where the United Nations deploys most of its peacekeeping missions. Graeme Simpson's progress study on youth and peace and security (see S/2018/86), mandated by resolution 2250 (2015), strikingly illuminates the long road that still has to be travelled to fully mobilize the tremendous asset that is young people, who are too often the victims of armed conflict and conspicuously absent from peace processes and conflict resolution. I will limit myself to the remarkably innovative and ingenious action, highlighted in Graeme Simpson's study, of young people who use sport to deal with their suffering, foster their demobilization and facilitate their reintegration.”

  5. “Justice for victims should help to rebuild not only the victims themselves but also their families and communities and can also contribute to ending stigmatization of victims. Finally, on behalf of my delegation, I would like to thank the Secretary-General and the Spanish presidency of the Council. Monaco is a sponsor of resolution 2242 (2015), which we adopted today and which breathes new energy into the political commitment of Member States and the United Nations to the agenda on women and peace and security. We will continue to support UN-Women.”

  6. “That collective effort is crucial if we are to achieve gender equality, empower women and girls and promote effective institutions, peaceful societies and access to justice, all Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To that end, we recognize that educating girls and women and supporting civil society are priorities. It is therefore essential that we support the participation of women and gender experts in conflict prevention and not merely in peace negotiations and peacebuilding. Similarly, the judicial proceedings of our international tribunals should help to strengthen the fight against impunity and ensure zero tolerance for those who perpetrate sexual and gender-based violence.”

  7. “The recommendations of the high-level advisory group and the outstanding and untiring efforts of UN-Women are more relevant than ever at a time when we are reviewing peacekeeping and peacebuilding operations as well as celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Beijing Platform of Action. We must build on the considerable progress that has already been made on the women and peace and security agenda. With their assistance and experience, the United Nations agencies and the organizations in the field, particularly the International Committee of the Red Cross, have made a substantial contribution by implementing our commitments and sharing their expertise. The determination of all these actors, to whom Monaco pays tribute, has helped to mobilize the international community as a whole.”

  8. “Ms. Picco (Monaco) (spoke in French): Celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000) in the current context means recognizing the indispensable role women play in development and peace. The resolution's unanimous adoption, and the six resolutions that subsequently strengthened it, sent a strong and clear message to the international community: the threats and violations of human rights against women in conflict and post-conflict situations are unacceptable. They are daughters, sisters, wives and mothers. They are women who have been brutalized, raped, exploited, enslaved or forced into prostitution. The global study and its indicators have highlighted women's vulnerability, which has worsened as conflicts, violent extremism and terrorism have proliferated.”

  9. “Margot Wallstrom, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, and of Under-Secretary-General Michelle Bachelet, Executive Director of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, in coordinating our efforts on behalf of women. We hope that the political will we have generated will continue to assert itself.”

  10. “We note with interest the establishment of a comprehensive framework dedicated to the effective implementation of resolution 1325 (2000) and to holding all parties concerned accountable. Taking into account the indicators included in the annex to the report of the Secretary-General (S/2010/498) should allow us to measure progress and highlight areas deserving of our attention. In that regard, we welcome the efforts and initiatives of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, in particular in the areas of training and increasing the participation of women in peacekeeping operations and police forces. My delegation unreservedly supports the determination and commends the courage and resolve of Ms.”

  11. “Although the role of women in development no longer needs to be proven, it is equally crucial to ensuring lasting peace, social cohesion and political legitimacy. Women's contributions are not an end in themselves; they are also crucial elements in achieving peacebuilding priorities. In that regard, in order to ensure the rule of law, there must be support for the establishment and strengthening of national institutions. Resolution 1325 (2000) also underscores the need to scrupulously respect the provisions of international humanitarian law and human rights instruments. It is imperative that atrocities not go unpunished, especially those in which rape is used as a weapon of war.”

  12. “Mrs. Picco (Monaco) (spoke in French): The Principality of Monaco attaches the greatest importance to the protection of innocent civilian victims of conflict. Among them, women and children are clearly the most vulnerable. The fact that, over the past decade, women and children have become the targets of unspeakable violence is unacceptable. Thus, the Security Council's recognition of this scourge when it adopted resolution 1325 (2000), on 31 October 2000, was a major turning point in mobilizing the international community. We underscore the essential contribution of civil society, which has made possible significant progress and helped us to define women's participation as an essential element of peacebuilding processes and recovery efforts in affected countries.”
