  1. “The transparency of the subsidiary bodies should be bolstered by an improved and more timely use of electronic media available. In that regard, we commend the sanctions committees on their efforts. We stress the importance of using press releases to highlight their work so that they can emerge from the subterranean universe mentioned by a previous speaker. In conclusion, we highlight the importance of strengthening the role of the Office of the Ombudsperson and the prompt appointment of an ombudsperson to fill the post that has been vacant for some time.”

  2. “In order to determine points of convergence, the proposal was made to encourage statements by like-minded groups and inter-regional groups, such as the Human Security Network, the Group of Friends of Children and Armed Conflict and groups related to the women and peace and security agenda, which include non-governmental organizations, whose chairs can be consulted when preparing concept notes. Similarly, we stress the importance of increasing the number of Arria Formula meetings by circulating a summary to all Member States on outcomes and recommendations. We propose that the work of the various subsidiary bodies be consolidated and that the reports ofthe groups of experts of sanctions committees be considered when structuring outcome documents, in particular, with regard to mission transfers.”

  3. “We must encourage greater use of wrap-up meetings because they help the broader membership and the interested public to monitor accountability in the work of the Council, given the fact that they are public and broadcast in the six official languages. A good example was the most recent wrap-up meeting, convened by Kazakhstan (see S/PV.8173), during which the African members of the E-lO spoke as one group to highlight their region's priorities. Speaking in one voice underscored the role of elected members in reducing the Council's workload. We also propose that greater use be made of open debates by selecting issues that require analysis from all members.”

  4. “Although the veto is not a working method per se, it has an adverse domino effect on the working methods of the Council, and of its subsidiary bodies, in particular the sanctions committees, as previous speakers have mentioned. Elected members are often excluded as a matter of custom. There should be a more inclusive process when drafting resolutions and presidential statements, and recommendations of the subsidiary bodies. In that regard, we recommend the following measures. We must strengthen the role of the 10 elected members (E-lO), as mentioned by the representative of the Accountability, Coherence, and Transparency group, of which Chile is a member. They should be included as co-penholders, preferably in interegional groups, as was the case with resolution 2286 (2016), which was adopted in close consultation with civil society.”

  5. “I would like to highlight that he was one of the first to draw the Council's attention to the importance of working with the Peacebuilding Commission and troop-contributing countries. Many have addressed that issue today. Therefore, we will address specific issues, in addition to those before us for consideration. We need working methods that ensure that effective political attention is given to the work of the Council. We encourage Council members to demonstrate greater discipline and restraint with regard to the list of initiatives to be considered or adopted. Many of them take up precious time and hinder the adoption of solutions to the most urgent problems.”

  6. “Ms. Sapag Munoz de la Pena (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): Chile is grateful to Kuwait for convening this debate and its work as a member of the Security Council. We also underline the role of Kazakhstan during the previous presidency, in particular the debate on the maintenance of international peace and security held on 19 January. We thank Japan for its efforts to update note S/2010/507. We welcome Mr. Ian Martin and commend him on the work conducted by Security Council Report on the Council's working methods. We agree with the vast majority of the recommendations that have been put forward today, and those included in recent and previous reports. A reference was made to Ambassador Colin Keating earlier today.”

  7. “We stress the need to preserve its independence in pursuing its thematic objectives in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council and the particular needs of children in situations of conflict. We extend our recognition to the staff of the United Nations and to civil society for the determined work they do to protect children affected by conflicts pursuant to the Council's agenda.”

  8. “Gamba's Office, and call for the necessary human resources to be made available in order to complete that task of documentation. Another matter of concern is capacity on the ground. We urge the Council to guarantee the deployment of staff specifically dedicated to child protection in peacekeeping operations and political missions and to ensure that associated budgets serving the best interests of the child are at the centre of decision-making when it comes to establishing or renewing mission mandates, without subjecting them to short-term financial parameters. Finally, Chile recognizes the irreplaceable role of the Special Representative.”

  9. “With regard to the modification of the report that divides the list into two sections - one with parties to armed conflicts that have implemented measures to improve the protection of children and another with parties that have not done so - the results of their implementation should be assessed in the next report of the Secretary-General. Action plans should remain the primary measure for removing parties from the list. That will ensure transparency and equal treatment with respect to all perpetrators. We stress the value of action plans. In terms of timeliness, we support the publication of reports in May of each year in a way that effectively contributes to action. It is essential that the relevant Office has the necessary personnel to do so. In that context, we reiterate our support for Ms.”

  10. “We reiterate the importance of combatting impunity and of prosecuting and punishing the perpetrators of heinous crimes carried out against children. Where there is no such capacity or availablity, the International Criminal Court must provide justice for those crimes, in line with the Rome Statute. We particularly underscore the recommendations outlined in the latest report of the Secretary-General (S/2017/821). We welcome the signing of new action plans, which are the most effective mechanisms of consensus to ensure the cessation of severe Violations and prevent their recurrence, over any other practical measures implemented by parties to armed conflict.”

  11. “We also urge States to support the Principles and Guidelines on Children Associated with Armed Forces or Armed Groups and the Safe Schools Declaration, which has been mentioned by many speakers. Similarly, Chile supports the Vancouver Principles on peacekeeping and the prevention of the recruitment and use of child soldiers, and urges others to join that legally non-binding political commitment, which will complement the Paris Principles through practical measures that contribute to the implementation on the ground of resolution 1612 (2005) and subsequent resolutions. Yesterday, along with Canada and Uganda, we attended a sideline event on the Principles, organized by the Rome'o Dallaire Foundation, and were honoured by the presence of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Virginia Gamba.”

  12. “Today, we will therefore refer to three priority areas: prevention and its instruments, reporting, and capacities on the ground and their resources. We express our sorrow over the plight of Victims and condemn violations committed against boys and girls in situations of armed conflict. We call on all parties, the Security Council and States to adopt measures to prevent such violations, while respecting international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law, which are at the core of the preventive efforts driven by the Secretary-General. In that regard, we urge States to ratify the Option Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict.”

  13. “Ms. Sapag Munoz de la Pena (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We are always proud to see a woman presiding over the Security Council. We are grateful to Mr. Jean-Yves Le Drian, Minister for Foreign Affairs of France, and the delegation of France for convening today's open debate in the framework of the tenth anniversary of the Paris Principles, which Chile supports. We appreciates the statements delivered by the briefers, as well as Sweden's work as Chair of the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, which has guided its effectiveness and direction on the ground. Chile aligns itself with statements delivered respectively by the representative of Canada, on behalf of Group of Friends on Children and Armed Conflict, and the representative of Panama, on behalf of the Human Security Network.”

  14. “Fourthly, we must ask the groups of experts of the sanctions Committees to include human trafficking in their reports to those Committees in order to assist with the work of the Council in the event of the adoption of the targeted sanctions included in resolution 2331 (2016). Finally, and fifthly, I ask the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict and the Special Representative of the Secretary- General on Sexual Violence in Conflict to tackle this scourge in their reports to their respective subsidiary bodies, given, inter alia, that these components can constitute an early-warning sign that can help to detect and prevent future crimes against humanity.”

  15. “First, we must promote exchanges between specialized agencies, peacekeeping operations and United Nations peacebuilding stakeholders so as to address the fragmentation that exists in this sphere. Secondly, we must address human trafficking linked to the exploitation of mineral resources and promote effective measures relative to the supply chain, such as the commercial due-diligence guidelines on minerals from conflict zones, where many women, boys and girls are forcibly employed. Thirdly, we must incorporate the issue of the trafficking of women and girls in conflict in the agenda of the Informal Expert Group on Women and Peace and Security, known as the 2242 Group, created by Spain, since this is considered to be a challenge in the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000).”

  16. “The Council has the ethical and political responsibility to firmly support the efforts of the international community to that end, including compliance with the relevant conventions and protocols, as well as with resolutions 2195 (2014) and 2253 (2015), which address the relationship between organized crime, including human trafficking, and terrorism. We are in favour of better coordination and cooperation between national judicial systems and the United Nations system in order to dismantle criminal networks and bring to justice those who profit from trafficking. With respect to specific measures to meet the aforementioned goals, together with supporting those measures contained in resolution 2331 (2016), which we co-sponsored today, we propose the following.”

  17. “In that respect, as part of the Arria Format meeting organized by Australia and Chile in 2014, we identified the need to urgently promote political solutions to the challenges that States and the international system face in addressing migratory governance and the situation of vulnerable groups exposed to trafficking, such as internally displaced persons. This debate is a response to this call. It is vital to create and raise awareness of this scourge to prevent it, prosecute traffickers, protect the victims of trafficking and rehabilitate and reintegrate them, as we said earlier, and finally to eradicate human- trafficking in conflict situations.”

  18. “We have watched with horror how armed groups use sexual violence, the commercialization and the enslavement of girls and women as a tool of terrorism and a source of financing. Our repudiation of these acts must be unequivocal and compelling and must be backed up by measures to prevent them and to provide rehabilitation and reintegration to the victims. The exponential growth of migratory flows and internal displaced people - the figures today are higher than at any other time since the Second World War - has been fuelled by humanitarian crises associated with the worsening of existing conflicts and violent actions by non-State groups.”

  19. “Ms. Sapag Munoz de la Pena (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): It is a pleasure, Sir, to see you presiding over this meeting. I would like to convey our condolences to the Russian Federation. Chile deeply deplores the events that took place. This complex and diverse transnational phenomenon should be addressed from a holistic, coordinated perspective through the system, including in the Council and its subsidiary bodies, as it is linked to the central themes of its agenda, such as the protection of civilians in armed conflict; women and peace and security; children and armed conflict; and the financing of terrorism. The use of victims of trafficking in combat, sexual exploitation and forced labour has very much become a hallmark of armed conflict and humanitarian crises. The link between sexual violence and trafficking is plain to see.”
