  1. “Radhika Coomaraswamy, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and the important work being 11-41151 done by UNICEF, the Committee on the Rights of the Child and other relevant institutions. Finally, there is a broad international legislative framework providing appropriate protection to children in times of both peace and armed conflict. Hence it is necessary to continue to urge the parties to fulfil their obligations and to enhance the mechanisms that promote that process. We cannot waver in our efforts, allow impunity in such cases, or yield to circumstances. It is an undeniable and imperative duty of the international community to guarantee peace, development and a climate conducive to the enjoyment of human rights for future generations. Peru is firmly committed to that lofty objective.”

  2. “Of equal importance is capacity- building and awareness-raising of military personnel deployed in the field so that they can adequately respond to situations involving sexual violence. The establishment of the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict is evidence of the growing commitment of the Security Council to protecting children in armed conflict. In that respect, it is important that the appropriate administrative and substantive support be provided so that it can carry out its functions effectively, including field visits, which are of great importance. I wish also to acknowledge and commend the devoted and unflagging work carried out by Ms.”

  3. “As my country has indicated on several occasions, crucial to addressing this problem and the issue of sexual violence against children in conflict is the possession of information that makes it possible to adopt preventive measures that allow for a rapid and effective response. It is necessary to continue to explore mechanisms that allow for a reliable exchange of information on acts of sexual violence, in order to take action to reduce and combat this scourge. My delegation believes that this exchange of information must be substantively strengthened among United Nations agencies, the various Security Council committees and the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict.”

  4. “It is also important to continue to include in the mandates of United Nations peacekeeping operations and special political missions, as well as in peacebuilding missions, specific provisions with the clear and specific objective of protecting children. My country believes that the Peacebuilding Commission has a fundamental role to play in supporting plans and programmes aimed at reintegrating children who are former combatants in the various spheres of economic and social life in the aftermath of a conflict. The support of the international community is therefore essential to support national endeavours to that end.”

  5. “My delegation reiterates that it is important to continue to strengthen communication between the sanctions committees and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict in order to make it possible to adopt measures or exchange information so as to provide greater protection to children or impose appropriate sanctions on those parties that commit serious violations against them. It is important for the sanctions committees to consider the possibility of including the situation of children in its mandates. In that respect, the progress made in the case of the Democratic Republic of the Congo can be viewed as a good precedent, as suggested by the Secretary-General in his report.”

  6. “In this report, the Secretary-General also referred with concern to the increasing number of attacks on schools and hospitals where children are among the principal civilian victims. My country therefore welcomes the important decision taken by the Security Council to allow the Secretary-General to include, annexed to his report, a list of those parties which in an armed conflict, in violation of international law, repeatedly attack schools and hospitals as well as those who repeatedly attack, or threaten to attack, those who are protected in connection with schools and hospitals. Peru therefore believes that the inclusion of this new criterion will contribute to providing greater and more comprehensive protection to children in times of armed conflict.”

  7. “The progress made in this respect has been the result of the growing concern about the issue as well as the political resolve of protagonists to take concrete action. The resolution adopted today by the Security Council represents a further step forward in the gradual process of protecting children in armed conflict. However, the situation of children in armed conflict remains of concern. Hence, in the view of the delegation of Peru, it is imperative that we should redouble our efforts to put an end to the recruiting and use of children in armed conflict and take drastic measures to punish those who perpetrate sexual violence, maim or kill children in armed conflict. Impunity in such cases can in no way be tolerated by the international community.”

  8. “Mr. Rodriguez Arnillas (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): I welcome the convening of this open debate on an issue that my country deems of great importance: children and armed conflict. I should like to thank the Secretary-General for his report (S/20ll/250) on this issue, as well as Ms. Radhika Coomaraswamy for the information she provided in her capacity as Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children 3 and Armed Conflict and Mr. Anthony Lake, Executive Director of UNICEF. The Security Council in recent years has adopted a series of resolutions that have provided the international community with a legislative framework for enabling progress to be made in the protection of children in situations of armed conflict and in the aftermath of conflict.”

  9. “In conclusion, I should like to return to the theme of our debate today. It is undoubtedly clear that the security and development components should guide the mandates of peacekeeping and peacebuilding operations. The strategies and actions of every United Nations agency should also come directly into play in the implementation of development efforts. There is therefore a need for close and effective coordination with all those agencies, including the involvement of the entire membership to ensure that coordination. In other words, this is a shared responsibility. Peru is fully aware of it and we are committed to meeting it.”

  10. “In developing an integrated strategy, we should underscore the role played by the Peacebuilding Commission as an advisory and catalyzing body for an approach focused on the interdependence between security and development that is formulated to address the specific needs of each situation and the national priorities that serve to establish and strengthen national capacity. It is essential to strengthen the capacities of the Peacebuilding Commission, thereby contributing to the swift and effective implementation of the recommendations made in connection with its review. The Commission is one of the principal and most appropriate bodies for reaffirming the participation of the United Nations in peace processes in order to generate the necessary atmosphere of security and trust for a process of inclusive national ownership.”

  11. “The first is to coordinate and provide support for consensus among national actors and the international community; the second is to act as facilitator with other actors in carrying out peacebuilding activities while providing security and supporting socio- economic reconstruction; and the third, which pertains to peacebuilding functions, entails laying the groundwork for stability and establishing the capacities for the development of institutions. As we discussed here in the Council last month, the latter is essential in moving towards development and sustainable peace. Those functions, which are evident in current peacekeeping efforts, illustrate that peacekeeping missions can indeed integrate the security and development dimensions, whether through activities aimed at peacekeeping, early peacebuilding or peacebuilding itself.”

  12. “Given that peacekeeping operations constitute one of the Organization's most important tools in preserving peace and security, we must ask the question of whether such operations can or should be involved in development efforts, and up to what point. In his report on the implementation of the recommendations of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (A/64/573), the Secretary- General points out that peacekeeping operations typically play three functions.”

  13. “I should also point out that our experience throughout history also shows that in such cases there is also the opposing link between violence, institutional fragility, insecurity and the re-emergence of conflict. As the experience of the United Nations has shown, there is an increasingly urgent need for a comprehensive approach to security, peacekeeping and peacebuilding. That requires an analysis of the underlying causes of violence and the socio-economic situation on the ground. It also requires parting with hermetic and compartmentalized approaches and strategies to conflict and post-conflict situations. That is to say, we need a synergistic and complementary approach to efforts at preventive diplomacy, the emergence and re-emergence of conflicts and support for conflict resolution, peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts.”

  14. “That entails interlinked and inseparable elements that should serve to guide the development of comprehensive peacekeeping and peacebuilding strategies. They should also necessarily be reflected on the ground, if indeed our goal is international peace and security - which is the primary responsibility of this main organ of the United Nations. Just a few days ago in Munich, the Secretary- General, in referring to the events in the Middle East, also spoke of the indispensable link between peace and security, two concepts that cannot exist one without the other. There is much experience to attest to this, including many current cases that pose a challenge to the Council and the Organization.”

  15. “Mr. Rodriguez Arnillas (Peru) (spoke in Spanish): My delegation very much welcomes this debate, for which we thank the presidency. This is an opportunity to consider a timely and important issue. As a member of the Peacebuilding Commission and as an active participant in the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, Peru is committed to lending its support in connection with this topic. I should also like to express our gratitude for the concept paper (S/2011/50), which provides us with the basis for our discussion today. Peru associates itself with the statement delivered by the Permanent Representative of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. On repeated occasions, Peru has highlighted the importance of complementarity and synergy between security, development, human rights and humanitarian assistance efforts.”
