“Tackling global insecurity is a pressing imperative, and our priority should be to pursue political solutions in the context of a comprehensive approach to the various challenges by combining and strengthening our endeavours for peace and security, human rights and sustainable development. In this context, we would mention in particular the adoption of the resolution on the restructuring of the United Nations peace and security pillar (resolution 72/199). These reforms will enable the United Nations system to better address the root causes of conflict, focus on prevention and fully utilize the potential of development programmes in securing long-term post- conflict stability.”

“I would like first of all to thank the Japanese presidency of the Security Council for having organized this open debate on addressing complex contemporary challenges to international peace and security. It is indeed a crucial issue that is at the core of the primary responsibility of the Security Council to seek ways to better address today's complex threats to international peace and security in a holistic manner. There is no doubt that today we are confronted with an increasing number of conflicts and challenges around the world. Crisis situations have a tendency to last longer and have become increasingly complex and volatile.”

“For that reason, Greece, having already endorsed the Safe Schools Declaration, aligns itself with the joint statement of States that have also endorsed it, underlining that the Declaration is a very important initiative that needs our full support. Having also participated at both the Safe Schools Conferences in Oslo in May 2015 and Buenos Aires in March 2017, we call on all States to sign and implement the Safe Schools Declaration with a view to protecting schools in conflict-affected areas around the world from violence in any form. Children are the future of our societies. We must all do everything in our power to protect that future.”

“In the same context, the numerous violations of international norms and standards for the protection of children, as indicated in the Secretary-General's latest report (S/2017/821), include attacks on educational facilities. Following the recent Arria Formula meeting of the Security Council on attacks on schools, and listening to the testimony of Joy Bishara, one of the schoolgirls abducted in Nigeria back in 2014, we feel we must do everything in our power to address the root causes of such attacks and bring to justice all who are depriving children of the right to an education and a normal and fulfilling life. Violations of international human law - in other words, atrocities against children - must not be tolerated in any form.”

“Besides the terrible threats to a life of freedom and dignity that they face, children in conflict-affected areas are completely vulnerable to unlawful recruitment or use by armed forces or groups, a practice that merits the full attention and immediate response ofthe international community if any real progress is to be achieved in that direction. It is imperative that all States immediately halt weapons sales and exports to parties that have been identified on the Secretary-General's list of shame. At the same time, we need to focus on reintegrating child soldiers through programmes that provide the necessary psychosocial support to them and their communities.”

“I would first like to thank the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms. Virginia Gamba, for her excellent work. I would also like to express my appreciation to the French presidency of the Security Council for organizing today's open debate. France has contributed significantly to the international community's efforts to prevent the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict, especially through the Principles and Commitments adopted at the International Conferences held in Paris in February 2007 and 2017. Children, who are unable to protect themselves, are the main victims of armed conflict.”
