  1. “Additionally, we welcome the Secretary-General's indications of progress in action plans for some parties to conflict situations, such as in Cote d'Ivoire, the Central African Republic, Burma/Myanmar and the Sudan as well as Sri Lanka and Uganda. In order to see even more progress in the future, access to all parties involved, including non-State parties, must be guaranteed. Moreover, setting up concrete time-bound action plans and ensuring that the parties involved implement them needs further constant monitoring by the Security Council in all situations that warrant such action plans. Member States too should play a better role in facilitating dialogue with parties involved in armed conflict.”

  2. “The EU would encourage the Security Council to review the violations that trigger the listing of a party in the annexes attached to the report of the Secretary-General. As a first step, the criteria that trigger the listing of a party might be expanded to include the crime of rape and other grave sexual and gender-based violence against children. Still in the sphere of monitoring and reporting, the EU reiterates the importance of the inclusion of specific child protection advisers with a clear division of labour, reporting lines and guidance within the United Nations system. Their performance should be enhanced through the review outlined in the lessons learned study.”

  3. “Furthermore, we support the call to the Security Council to take appropriate account of all categories of grave violations, including not only the recruitment and use of children, but also the killing and maiming of children, rape and other grave sexual violations, abductions, attacks against schools or hospitals and denial of humanitarian access to children. We welcome the attention paid in its conclusions by the Security Council Working Group to all violations committed against children. Similarly, situations of concern in all parts of the world need to be addressed by the Security Council and the international community as a whole, in order to effectively protect the rights of children in armed conflict.”

  4. “We would also compliment the Working Group for the concrete conclusions it has adopted following its review of the reports by the Secretary-General. We encourage the Working Group to continue its good work, invite the Security Council to take into account to the greatest extent possible the conclusions of its Working Group in its consideration of situations of conflict, and urge all the parties concerned to implement those conclusions. The EU would encourage the Security Council to take appropriate and concrete measures against those parties listed in the annexes of the report, as the Secretary General proposes.”

  5. “The EU welcomes the proposal of the Secretary- General to refer to the ICC for investigation and prosecution violations against children in armed conflicts that fall within the jurisdiction of the Court. We encourage the Council to implement such a proposal. The EU also stresses the role of national justice institutions and of transitional justice mechanisms in the context of conflict and post-conflict situations in order to end impunity for perpetrators of crimes committed against children. The EU welcomes and is encouraged by the work already carried out by the monitoring and reporting mechanisms on children and armed conflict established by resolution 1612 (2005). We also welcome the resulting information reported to the Security Council in specific situations and their review by its Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict.”

  6. “The scope of child casualties in armed conflicts in relation to small arms, anti-personnel landmines and cluster munitions is equally worrying. We welcome the proposal of the Secretary-General to consider concluding a binding instrument on cluster munitions. The EU is committed to concluding such a legally binding instrument that prohibits the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions that cause unacceptable harm to civilians. The EU supports the call from the Secretary- General urging those States that have not done so to accede to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) as a matter of priority and to sign and ratify the Optional Protocols to it. We also urge States to accelerate the process of ratification and accession to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).”

  7. “This scourge should be addressed by systematically bringing to justice the perpetrators of this violence. The movement of armed groups along the borders between Sudan and Chad and between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda to recruit children continues to be alarming. The 10-year Graca Machel strategic review notes that the context of conflict over the last decade has changed dramatically. The EU condemns the relatively new phenomenon of using children as human shields or in suicide attacks. We are distressed by the evidence that points to camps for refugees and internally displaced persons as prime recruiting grounds for child soldiers, and by the number of children being detained for alleged association with armed groups in violation of international standards.”

  8. “We welcome the progress made in Colombia and call on the Government to continue to tackle the issue of the use of children by illegal armed groups and root out abuses committed by State actors. We recognize the noteworthy achievements that have taken place in Cote d'Ivoire, the decrease in reports of grave violations of children's rights in some countries and the release of a number of child soldiers. Nevertheless, we are still witnessing continuing factional violence in conflict situations like Somalia and Iraq, escalation of violence in the Middle East, deliberate attacks on schools by the Taliban in Afghanistan and high levels of sexual and gender-based violence in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi. We strongly condemn the continuous use of rape as a method of warfare in Darfur.”

  9. “The EU attaches great importance to this issue and continues to be a strong supporter of the valuable work of the Special Representative of the Secretary- General for Children and Armed Conflict. We commend Ms. Coomaraswamy and her office for their outstanding work in raising awareness, engaging with parties to conflicts through her field visits and keeping this issue high on the agenda. We extend our full support for this mandate for the future. Further, we wish to compliment all parties engaged on the ground for their indispensable work that contributed to this report. The report of the Secretary-General reflects both positive and negative developments in the recent past.”

  10. “I have the honour to speak on behalf of the European Union (EU). The candidate countries Croatia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the countries of the Stabilization and 08-2361] Association Process and potential candidates Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia as well as Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, Armenia and Georgia align themselves with this statement. At the outset, let me thank the Security Council presidency, Panama, for organizing this open debate on children and armed conflict. The EU strongly welcomes the new report of the Secretary-General on Children and armed conflict (S/2007/757) and the recommendations contained therein. We also look forward to the adoption of a meaningful and operation- oriented presidential statement by the Security Council.”

  11. “In that context, the EU continues to support the work of Quartet Representative Tony Blair. In conclusion, I wish to reiterate once again the European Union's concern at the surge of violence in and around Gaza. The EU calls on all the parties to exercise the utmost restraint and to refrain from the use of force. The EU appeals to all sides, for calm, particularly at this time of renewal of the political process.”

  12. “The EU remains determined to contribute significantly to this effort, as laid down in its Action Strategy, "State-building for Peace in the Middle East", which covers the broad range of its assistance activities. The EU welcomes the results of last December's international donors conference for the Palestinian State - namely, more than $7.4 billion in pledges - and calls on all donors to deliver on their pledges, in support of efforts to build the future Palestinian State in accordance with the reform and development plan presented by Prime Minister Fayyad. In that context, the EU recalls the utmost importance of full implementation of the Agreement on Movement and Access. The EU is committed to providing substantial financial support for the Palestinian people and to working out the means to do so.”

  13. “The goal remains the establishment of an independent, democratic, contiguous and viable Palestinian State in the West Bank and Gaza that will unite all Palestinians, living side by side in peace and security with Israel and its other neighbours. Recent settlement activity constitutes another EU concern in that context, as it represents a major obstacle to peace. The EU reiterates that the Road Map is unambiguous in that regard. The EU is firmly committed to remaining actively involved in order to support the parties' efforts to keep the negotiations on track, working closely with other members of the Quartet and partners in the region.”

  14. “The EU welcomes the commencement of negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian officials on all outstanding issues - including all final-status issues - with a View to concluding a peace agreement before the end of 2008, as agreed in Annapolis last November. The EU reaffirms that this is a crucial opportunity for regional and international partners to effectively support a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East. In that context, the EU calls for continued broad and constructive involvement by Arab partners, building on the Arab Peace Initiative. The European Union urges the parties to implement their Road Map obligations in parallel to their negotiations.”

  15. “While recognizing Israel's legitimate right to self-defence, the EU calls for an immediate end to all acts of violence, including the continued firing of rockets into Israeli territory, and to all activities that are contrary to international law and endanger civilians. The EU reiterates its grave concern at the humanitarian situation in Gaza and calls for the continuous provision of essential services, including fuel and power supplies. The EU once again calls on all parties to allow unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza and to work urgently for the opening of crossings to goods and people.”

  16. “I have the honour to speak on behalf of the European Union (EU). The candidate countries Turkey, Croatia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the countries of the 3 Stabilization and Association Process and potential candidates Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia, and the countries of the European Free Trade Association Iceland and Liechtenstein, members of the European Economic Area, as well as the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, align themselves with this declaration. The European Union is deeply concerned about recent violence affecting Gaza and communities in southern Israel.”
