1. “Let me join previous speakers in congratulating you, Mr. President, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of November. I would also like to thank you for your initiative in organizing this important debate on piracy, as well as for the concept note (S/2012/813, annex) that provided direction to our discussion today. And I thank Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson for his introductory remarks. We commend your delegation, Mr. President, for organizing this meeting, which for the first time aims to address piracy as a global security threat by taking an integrated look at the situation across regions. We align ourselves with the statement delivered by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.”

2. “We believe that it is the responsibility ofthe Council to provide leadership in the global effort to set aside the necessary political, financial and legal resources for the achievement of our objective of protecting children in armed conflict. Before coming here, I was at the African Union secretariat, where we listened to the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict. We believe that those two evils are two sides of the same coin - children and armed conflict and sexual violence against women. Most of those human rights violations happen in conflict situations. We urge the Council to address those issues concurrently and to keep them always on its agenda.”

3. “Efforts should also be intensified, in accordance with the suggestions made by the Secretary-General and the Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Children and Armed Conflict, to secure adequate resources for the purpose of the rehabilitation of children released from recruitment, as well as for exploring the possibilities of establishing legal and administrative mechanisms for paying reparations to child Victims of grave violations. In addition, we should ensure that specific provisions for the protection of children continue to be included in all relevant mandates of United Nations peacekeeping operations, as well as political and peacebuilding missions and other United Nations planning instruments and processes.”

4. “Nevertheless, more needs to be done, as we all have a responsibility to protect those vulnerable and defenseless members of society. National and international efforts must therefore be intensified to ensure accountability as a means of deterrence and to bring the perpetrators of those acts to justice. The Security Council in particular and the international community in general have an important role to play in those endeavours. We share the Secretary-General's assessment on the need for concerned Member States to allow independent access for the United Nations for the purposes of monitoring and reporting on grave violations against children.”

5. “Herve Ladsous, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Mr. Anthony Lake, Executive Director of UNICEF, and Mr. David Tolbert, President of the International Center for Transitional Justice. In recent times, the international community, including the Security Council, has taken a determined stance against perpetrators of grave violations against children. The steady growth in the number of action plans and the increasing adherence to international human rights and humanitarian law are contributing to mobilizing concerted international action aimed at ensuring the safety and welfare of children, especially in conflict zones. In that context, we are encouraged by progress made with regard to increasing accountability for perpetrators of the six types of grave violations against children in armed conflict.”

6. “Radhika Coomaraswamy, for her invaluable role in placing the plight of children in conflict high on the United Nations and international agendas. I would also like to welcome and congratulate the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Leila Zerrougui, on her well-deserved appointment. She assumes her responsibility at a time of great challenges for children around the world. Children, women and other vulnerable groups are exposed to hardship and terrible danger in many conflicts around the world. We share Ms. Zerrougui's conviction on the scope of the work that needs to be done to protect children in conflict areas. We assure her of our unflinching support in the discharge of her responsibilities. We also wish to acknowledge the input into this meeting of Mr.”

7. “Indeed, Nigeria had the opportunity to contribute to the process during its stewardship of the Security Council through its participation in the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict. The various resolutions on the issue of children and armed conflict are testimony to the commitment of the Council to address the subject matter. Furthermore, the various action plans adopted by countries is also evidence of adherence to and support for the Security Council's leadership in that domain. I congratulate all Member States that have adopted action plans, recognizing their determination to address the serious predicament in which children in conflict zones often find themselves. At this point, let me commend the former Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms.”

8. “I join other speakers in congratulating you, Sir, on assuming the presidency of the Council for this month. I also thank you for your initiative, Mr. President, in organizing this important debate on children and armed conflict, as well as for the concept note (S/2012/685, annex) intended to provide direction for our discussion today. As conflicts and crises continue to break out around the world, with an obvious negative impact on the most vulnerable members of society, mainly children and women, the time for such a debate could not be more appropriate. Nigeria appreciates that the Security Council continues to place a great priority on the plight of children in armed conflict in its work.”
