  3. “As stated in the Graça Machel report: “In a world of diversity and disparity, children are a unifying force capable of bringing people to common ethical grounds.” (A/51/306, para. 6) I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I shall now give the floor to those members of the Council who wish to make statements.”

  4. “We encourage it to continue improving humanitarian carveouts in sanction regimes and to consider the inclusion of child rights experts in the monitoring mechanisms of sanctions committees, including panels and expert work. Fourthly, Brazil agrees with the Secretary- General’s report on the importance of ensuring that child protection provisions and capacity are included in all relevant mandates of United Nations peacekeeping operations and special political missions. In conclusion, it is Brazil`s belief that children can continue to bring the Members of this Organization together. While recognizing that the Security Council is divided on a complex range of issues, protecting children from war should be one common denominator for us.”

  5. “Brazil agrees with the call in the Secretary- General’s report for Member States to adopt national accountability measures and to cooperate with the relevant international accountability mechanisms. Secondly, any counter-terrorism action must abide by international law. If counter-terrorism takes place at the expense of our children, it will have defeated its purpose. Children should always be treated primarily as victims, including those associated with groups designated as terrorists, and they should only be detained as a measure of last resort and for the shortest appropriate time. Thirdly, the Security Council should ensure that sanctions do not have adverse humanitarian consequences for civilian populations, including children, or adversely affect activities carried out by humanitarian organizations.”

  6. “We encourage the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to engage with parties in conflict with a view to establishing specific action plans on reintegration, in which the relevant communities, partners and donors could be linked into a single solidarity network. In doing so, we also encourage the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict to make full use of the expertise of the Peacebuilding Commission, which is uniquely positioned to bridge cross-pillar discussions, such as the one that we are suggesting here. I also want to share a few words on four key points for the effective implementation of the children and armed conflict agenda. First, accountability is essential in ending grave violations.”

  7. “Boys and girls often require different types of support before, during and after conflict. Prevention efforts and the protection of children against grave violations should be a priority for the international community, and so should reintegration, which is essential to helping children rebuild their lives. When released, they often face exclusion, stigma and a lack of opportunities. A world that abandons its children has no future; it inspires neither faith nor hope. Reintegration must be seen as a third pillar of the children and armed conflict agenda, complementing the efforts of prevention and protection. Reintegration must be understood as a long-term process that requires a long-term commitment. It should also be seen as a tool for peacebuilding and sustaining peace.”

  8. “Such services should include access to education, in accordance with last year’s resolution 2601 (2021). Brazil has been providing access to education and health care, among other services and benefits, for children fleeing countries such as Afghanistan, Haiti, Syria and Venezuela. Children always deserve our support, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, migration or any other status. A concerning trend shown in this year’s report is the increase in abduction by more than 20 per cent as compared to 2020 — one of the fastest-growing grave violations. Boys and girls are both at risk of abduction. Boys who suffer abduction are also usually subject to recruitment. Abducted girls are likely to suffer violations such as sexual violence, forced marriage and exploitation.”

  9. “Some of those children were disproportionately vulnerable, such as refugee, internally displaced and stateless children. Displacement poses additional risks for children’s safety, including vulnerability to trafficking and exploitation, especially for those children who are unaccompanied or have been separated from their parents or caregivers. Displaced children also face barriers to accessing basic services, such as education and health care. That situation imposes serious limitations on the development of children and increases the risk of additional grave violations. Neighbouring, transit and host countries must ensure that children arriving in their territories are immediately identified and have full access to all public services and social benefits, regardless of their migration status.”

  10. “I would also like to thank the Executive Director of UNICEF, Ms. Catherine Russell, for her tireless and dedicated work. Furthermore, I again thank Mr. Patrick Kumi for his moving and inspirational testimony to the Security Council. In the past 25 years, the United Nations has made valuable progress in protecting children from the scourge of war. This year’s report alone shows that more than 12,000 children were released from armed groups and armed forces in 2021. Despite our efforts to date, there is still a long road ahead of us. Children remain subject to the six grave violations as a result of the failure of parties in armed conflict to comply with international humanitarian law, international human rights law and international refugee law.”

  11. “I thank Mr. Kumi very much for sharing with us his experiences and for the recommendations that he brought to our attention, which, I am sure, will be important in guiding our work in the future. I shall now make a statement in my national capacity as the Deputy Foreign Minister of Brazil. Once again, I want to thank all participants for the opportunity to share this important debate. Let me thank the Secretary-General for his latest annual report on children and armed conflict (S/2022/493). I also commend the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mrs. Virginia Gamba de Potgieter, for her commitment and continued efforts in engaging with parties in conflict-affected countries to protect children. I thank her for the observations that she made this morning, as well.”

  12. “I propose that the Council invite the Permanent Observer of the Observer State of Palestine to the United Nations to participate in the meeting, in accordance with the provisional rules of procedure and the previous practice in this regard. There being no objection, it is so decided. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2022/540, which contains the text of a letter dated 5 July 2022 from the Permanent Representative of Brazil to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General, transmitting a concept note on the item under consideration. I also wish to also draw the attention of Council members to document S/2022/493, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on Children and armed conflict. I now give the floor to Mrs.”
