2. “If we want to break the cycle of violence, we must address their long-term integration needs by providing them with education, psychosocial support and the means to ensure their livelihood. The link between the reintegration of children and sustainable peace will be one of the priority themes to be discussed during Geneva Peace Week in November. Thirdly, the impartial Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism established pursuant to resolution 1612 (2005) and the accurate and credible listing of perpetrators are powerful tools, which can establish responsibility and contribute to preventing grave violations. It is essential that that listing remain impartial and evidence-based. In that regard, we ask the Secretary-General to inform us of measures taken and progress made by listed parties.”

3. “Switzerland therefore supports the multi-stakeholder partnership End Violence Against Children. The goal of that initiative is to strengthen political will and accelerate relevant efforts so that every child can grow up shielded from violence. The initiative is supported by 271 member organizations. At the same time, the Sustainable Development Goals provide a long-term vision for protecting children and prevent conflicts. Secondly, the reintegration and rehabilitation of children formerly associated with armed forces and groups are key factors in preventing the recurrence of conflicts. Armed conflicts inflict physical and extreme emotional suffering upon children.”

4. “Mr. PriVitelli (Switzerland) (spoke in French): We thank Sweden for making this important topic a priority issue during its presidency. Switzerland welcomes the annual report (S/2018/465) of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict, which lists more than 21,000 grave violations - an extremely alarming increase of 35 per cent compared to 2016. In the face of such an increase, the international community must act in several areas. First, protecting children and defending their rights before, during and after conflicts and a comprehensive approach towards sustaining peace are mutually reinforcing. Protecting those who are most vulnerable preserves our countries' resources for the future, thereby entailing long-term consequences involving governance and peacebuilding.”
