  1. “Lastly, Colombia reiterates its commitment to prioritizing the protection, rights, well-being and empowerment of children affected by the armed conflict and joins the Secretary General’s call for armed groups to immediately cease violations, unconditionally release children and make concrete and time-bound commitments to cease and prevent grave violations.”

  2. “Violeta, I am pleased to report that Colombia has developed an action plan to implement the Safe Schools Declaration, which seeks to effectively protect schools and universities from attacks and military use by the parties to our conflict. Thirdly, at the institutional level, we have strengthened the Intersectoral Commission to Prevent the Recruitment and Use of Children, Adolescents and Young Persons, the technical secretariat of which was placed under the aegis of the Presidential Adviser’s Office on Human Rights and International Relations in December 2022. The emphasis on prevention and the effective reintegration of demobilized minors into civilian life constitute a central pillar of the Petro Urrego Government’s strategy to promote the protection of children.”

  3. “In line with achieving that goal, one of the main conditions established for initiating any form of dialogue with armed groups is predicated on the commitment to eschewing the recruitment of minors, the commission of acts of gender-based sexual violence, the use of anti-personnel mines and actions that result in the confinement or internal displacement of the civilian population. Secondly, Colombia has endorsed the Political Declaration on Strengthening the Protection of Civilians from the Humanitarian Consequences arising from the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas and the Safe Schools Declaration. With regard to the latter and in response to my compatriot Ms.”

  4. “As a reflection of that policy, since the presidential inauguration in August 2022, military air strikes against armed groups’ camps where children may be present were indefinitely suspended, as highlighted in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2023/363), which Special Representative Gamba de Potgieter presented earlier. I would like to mention three additional concrete measures that my country has taken to stop grave violations against children. First, the national Government has sought to de-escalate the armed conflict in order to reduce the number humanitarian crises, which disproportionately affect people in vulnerable situations, including Afro-Colombian and Indigenous children.”

  5. “Ms. Tickner (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): On behalf of Colombia, I would like to thank the United Kingdom for convening this open debate and to underscore the central importance of the children and armed conflict agenda in the United Nations peace and security architecture. I also acknowledge the briefing by my compatriot Ms. Violeta, whom all members listened to. I begin by underscoring that the “total peace” policy developed by the Government of Gustavo Petro Urrego includes a deep commitment to guaranteeing and protecting children’s rights in situations of armed conflict.”

  6. “The Commission’s advisory function to the Security Council must be constant and seek to integrate, as an integral part of the recommendations and actions defined within the framework of the so- called configurations, the lessons learned from positive cases of transitions towards peace. For that reason, and in conclusion, Colombia supports and actively participates in the five-year review process of the peacebuilding architecture, to take place in 2025, under a holistic approach that ensures more efficient and timely decision-making by the Peacebuilding Commission and the Peacebuilding Fund. In that way, peacebuilding could be strengthened as a platform in which national experiences converge on issues such as transitional justice, disarmament, reintegration and demobilization, all of which are the basis for overcoming conflict situations.”

  7. “Thirdly, as the Colombian case clearly proves, it is essential to have the political, technical and financial support of the international community as well as that of regional banks in order to advance on the path towards peace through multilateral instruments that make possible the viability of projects to that end and that contribute to sustainable development. During our tenure in the Peacebuilding Commission, which ended in December, we worked under such a collaborative approach, while emphasizing that the support of the international community is an indispensable tool.”

  8. “The voice of women, youth, LGBTQI+ persons, Indigenous peoples and Afro-descendant populations is essential in any effort undertaken by the United Nations. Secondly, building strong and effective institutions also requires designing inclusive mechanisms. Consequently, one of the central messages of President Petro Urrego and Vice-President Francia Márquez has been “change with women.” In pursuit of that ambition, Colombia is in the process of preparing its first national plan of action for the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000), on women and peace and security, as an overarching document that has been conceived by involving not only State institutions but also civil society, academia and women themselves throughout the country.”

  9. “Along those lines, I would like to briefly share some ideas from the Colombian perspective regarding the link between peacebuilding and inclusion, within the framework of more effective action by the Security Council. First, inclusion constitutes the cross-cutting axis of the indissoluble link between development and peace. Listening to the voices of society as a whole is essential to guarantee the sustainability of both development and peace. That means that national policies cannot be imposed from capitals, but must be built from the regions. Aware of that need to weave the social, political and economic fabric, the Government Colombia believes that social participation not only legitimizes initiatives aimed at strengthening the rule of law, but that it also guarantees its sustainability over time.”

  10. “Ms. Tickner (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): I thank you and the members of the Security Council, Madam President, for convening this meeting. Colombia welcomes this debate, which is very timely in the light of the “total peace” project being developed by the Government of Gustavo Petro Urrego. I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the Security Council’s support and acknowledgment of the advances achieved by my country towards the goal of achieving a stable and lasting peace. I reiterate Colombia’s willingness to make our national experience available to the United Nations as a reference for those other cases where it is necessary to encourage and create the conditions for a transition from an armed conflict to overcoming violence.”
