“In conclusion, Chile believes that the international community cannot and should not accept the violation of children's rights anywhere or under any circumstances. Ensuring a peaceful global society requires that priority be given to the protection of its children and the development of conflict prevention and resolution strategies in order to achieve sustainable and lasting peace that will guarantee future peace for all.”

“We consider it relevant to include the issue of children in peace negotiations, ceasefires and mediation and support processes for sustaining peace, and to ensure that peacekeeping contingents receive adequate training in the promotion and protection of human rights. We reiterate the importance of combating impunity and prosecuting and punishing those responsible for heinous crimes against children. In the absence of such capacity or willingness, it is the task of the International Criminal Court to address crimes under the Rome Statute. In addition, we must ensure predictable, sustained and flexible financing for the reintegration of children affected by armed conflict so that child protection actors can create viable alternatives to military life and prevent their re-recruitment.”

“As concrete measures, we urge States to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict and to support the Paris Principles, the Vancouver Principles and the Oslo Safe Schools Declaration. We attach importance to maintaining child protection advisers in peacekeeping operations and to considering new appointments where such advising is required. We also underscore birth registration as a means of proof to prevent the recruitment of children and to ensure their disarmament, demobilization and reintegration.”

“Faced with the multidimensional nature of conflicts and the increase in and persistence of violations of children's rights, attacks on schools and hospitals, and the actions of extremist groups that victimize the most vulnerable groups, the international system as a whole must act preventively and decisively. We agree that it is time to stop the onset of future conflict. We therefore echo the call of the international community to go further in its resolve and action to protect children who have been victims of conflict in order to guarantee them a better future that will allow them to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals established in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and lasting peace.”

“Mr. Skoknic Tapia (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): We sincerely thank Sweden and you, Mr. Prime Minister, for convening this open debate on the protection of children in armed conflict and its impact on the prevention and maintenance of peace. We particularly appreciate the forward-looking focus of this debate. My delegation also appreciates the report of the Secretary-General (S/2018/465) and the briefings we have heard this morning by the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, the Executive Director of UNICEF and Ms. Yenny Londofio of Colombia, a country that is so dear to all of us. Chile associates itself with the statements made by the representatives of Canada, on behalf of the Group of Friends of Children and Armed Conflict, and of Argentina, on behalf of the group of States endorsing the Safe Schools Declaration.”
