“In the light of the importance of international law-enforcement cooperation in the prosecution of human trafficking crimes, Cambodia will continue its longstanding partnership with regional partners, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and INTERPOL, among others. In conclusion, allow me to reiterate that in the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking, the global community must ensure the effective implementation of international obligations. Having ratified the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the protocols thereto, my delegation believes that these efforts must be carried out in a coordinated and comprehensive fashion, with due regard for victims' rights and full respect for the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter.”

“Moreover, Security Council resolution 2195 (2014) affirms that terrorists benefit from transnational organized crime, including trafficking in persons. As the prosecution of the perpetrators of such crimes is central to the eradication of human trafficking, my delegation notes the efforts made to establish an international mechanism focused on gathering evidence of atrocities committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Sham and other terrorist organizations. Cambodia welcomes all such initiatives that are carried out with due respect for the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter, including the principles of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States, self-determination and non-interference in the internal affairs of States.”

“It is also important to avoid stigmatization of these victims as they reintegrate into society. In this context, my delegation supports the establishment of the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, and encourages States that are in a position to do so to contribute to the Fund. This brings me to the issue of prosecution, which centrally reinforces preventive and protective efforts in the fight against human trafficking. The Security Council, in its resolution 2331 (2016), has recognized that human trafficking contributes to the spread of international organized crime, which exacerbates conflict and fosters insecurity and instability throughout the world.”

“In this regard, Cambodia would like to emphasize the importance of the full implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5.2, which focuses on eliminating all forms of violence against women and girls, including trafficking; SDG 8.7, which focuses on the eradication of forced labour, slavery and human trafficking; and SDG 16.2, which aims to end trafficking and all forms of violence against children. The victims of human trafficking, particularly women and children, have a fundamental right to be protected in accordance with international law. In this context, it is necessary to ensure the provision of medical and psychological services to victims of sex trafficking and forced labour trafficking, while ensuring economic support to trafficking victims through training and job-placement programmes.”

“The protection of vulnerable persons, particularly displaced populations and refugees, is of central importance to the success of global efforts in combating human trafficking, forced labour and modern slavery by non-State actors. In this light, the full implementation of the Palermo Protocols and the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants plays a crucial role in comprehensively addressing human trafficking. Moreover, in implementing protective measures, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development can mobilize efforts to strengthen protection of the rights of the most vulnerable populations.”

“In this context, the Council must play an active role in addressing conflict situations by promoting dialogue and peacefully negotiated solutions based on the United Nations Charter. It must follow up on the implementation of its resolutions, providing for clear and realistic peacekeeping mandates. Moreover, the Security Council should closely collaborate with the General Assembly and United Nations agencies, including through increased consultations between the Presidents of the General Assembly and the Security Council. Conflict prevention is the best policy to protect against human trafficking, and, where conflict is inevitable, the Security Council should actively engage in the de-escalation ofhostilities, with a view to safeguarding vulnerable populations.”

“With respect to prevention, my delegation is of the view that effective prevention efforts must focus on curbing conflict while fully addressing its root causes. As exemplified by the way in which non-State armed groups operate, connections between armed conflict and human trafficking are multifaceted. Non-State armed groups openly advocate for the enslavement of women and children in the attainment of their misguided objectives. They actively promote slavery and human trafficking both as a means to finance their operations and as a method of warfare. The primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security rests with the United Nations and the Security Council.”

“Mr. President, allow me to express my congratulations to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of March. Modern-day slavery and human trafficking affect virtually every country and constitute one of the major threats to global peace and security as well as to our shared economic prosperity. Human trafficking affects women, children and men, subjecting people to cruel forced labour and sexual exploitation. The Royal Government of Cambodia strongly condemns all instances of slavery and human trafficking. In line with the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons, my delegation supports a three-pronged approach focusing on prevention, protection and prosecution.”

“Enhancing the working relationship between the Council, the Secretary-General and the General Assembly will promote transparency in our work while keeping the Organization accountable to its global constituency. In conflict prevention it is important to reject the use, or threat of use, of force in international relations; that principle is stated in the Charter of the United Nations. Member States must be fully respectful of the Charter, including the principles of sovereignty, the territorial integrity of States, self-determination and non-interference in the internal affairs of States. The Royal Government of Cambodia stands ready to actively engage with all its partners on the issue of conflict prevention with a view to promoting the global agenda for sustainable development.”

“The Royal Government of Cambodia believes that, by focusing on such a broad view of conflict prevention, greater political will, along with strong United Nations- based leadership, can pave the way for a safer and more prosperous world for all. My delegation reiterates the importance of establishing a more effective working relationship between the Security Council and the Secretary-General, while taking full account of the views expressed by the broader membership of the United Nations. The role of the Secretary-General is undeniably important in that context, and his reports and other documents with his recommendations should be based on clear, accurate and verifiable data, which will help our understanding of issues and inform our actions accordingly, thereby contributing to sustained peace and development globally.”

“On the contrary, the promotion of socioeconomic development and addressing climate change should be given the highest priority by every organ of the United Nations. Therefore, in order to provide the necessary political leadership so as to be able to fully capitalize on the opportunities for preventive action, comprehensive and purposeful international cooperation must be promoted. The Security Council must be open to working with the greater United Nations membership, while remaining politically accountable and transparent in its engagement. The views of the General Assembly, the most representative and democratic organ within the United Nations system, must be fully considered by the Security Council in its work, particularly as those views concern issues of development and its link to the conflict-prevention agenda.”

“In that context, the United Nations and its organs, including the Security Council, have a vital role to play. The Charter of the United Nations outlines the Organization's responsibility to promote the pacific settlement of disputes, thereby bringing about sustained peace, security and prosperity for the world's populations. Accordingly, the prevention of conflict must be at the core of the work of the United Nations, meaning that action to curtail disputes must be taken early and decisively. My delegation believes that, for that to be an effective strategy, greater political will must be exercised by all parties. Nevertheless, conflict prevention should not be viewed through a narrow lens, where it is limited to the maintenance of international peace and security through military means.”

“The international community remains committed to the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, but the global security situation remains worrisome. The first 10 days of the new year have been marked by numerous terrorist attacks across the globe. Those attacks undermine the social and economic development that the Organization has worked so hard to achieve. Long-standing conflicts perpetuate violence, thereby contributing to radical thought and action. Conflict prevention is the prerequisite for sustainable peace and development. In order to ensure sustained peace, the global community must address the deep- rooted causes of conflict, including the negative social, political and economic conditions that contribute to the cycle of violence.”

“At the outset, I would like to join previous speakers in congratulating Sweden and you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council this month and for organizing today's important debate. Before delivering my national statement, I wish to align myself with the statements made on behalf of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. I would like to take this opportunity to express my delegation's gratitude to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for outlining his vision on global conflict prevention and sustaining peace. Cambodia fully supports the Secretary-General's vision for making 2017 a year for peace, and we assure Secretary-General Guterres of Cambodia's full cooperation in making that vision a reality.”

“Since 2006 we have deployed 142 women out of our 3,800 Cambodian United Nations peacekeepers. In conclusion, Cambodia strongly commits to increasing momentum in the area of gender equality, empowering women and realizing their rights. We are continuing to work closely with the relevant ministries, civil society organizations and the private sector, as well as with our development partners. The meeting rose at 6.30pm.”

“In order to enhance our efforts to end gender-based discrimination, stronger national and regional legal instruments should be strengthened so as to provide a greater number of high-level posts for women. Empowering and protection are not only in the interests of women themselves, but also in the interests of the common good. Cambodia has therefore ensured a greater number of women are employed in positions of influence, particularly in the civil service and State institutions, with a shift from 20 to 50 per cent in female employment in those areas in 2016. Cambodia has also pursued ways to increase its female recruits, as we recognize that their professional skills and talents can benefit peace processes in the world, and we are increasing their participation, thereby advocating equal participation, in international forums.”

“Member States with women having suffered from violence must be given the right support for their basic needs so that women and their dependent children can be reintegrated into the society, with consideration for increased investment in the educational needs of girls and women. Health-wise, specific physical, mental and psychological health services should be provided to Violence-stricken women so as to restore their dignity and establish a collective memory. In recognizing women as the backbone of the country, it is important to build and strengthen international norms conducive to giving women equal rights in order to encourage their full participation in all spheres of activities, including political, economic, social and cultural pursuits through the integration of international legal instruments by the respective Member States.”

“Therefore, it is mandatory for the United Nations to look into the overall aspects ofpeacebuilding, including female key players. The significance of these criteria mean that their adoption should be a prerequisite for the implementation of the common agenda on women and peace and security. In the President's conceptpaper (S/2016/871, annex), we are asked to share experiences and information regarding the efforts of Member States and relevant entities in response to the 2015 high-level review and global study. In light of this, I wish to highlight the following points from the perspective of Cambodia.”

“We are currently witnessing changes in how peace is defined. Peace does not mean only the absence ofwar, but can also be sustained through a more inclusive political process that includes the upholding of justice, reconciliation and the promotion of human rights. In this regard, it is worth looking at the analysis and recommendations in the global study on the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). Women represent a strong link in the chain that supports the most vulnerable members of society. Women's perseverance and kind virtues take their role beyond the home as they play an important role in peacebuilding processes. It is unfortunate that women and girls have been recent targets in many areas of conflict. The more we lack key female participation, the more our chances to sustain peace are diminished.”

“Allow me to congratulate the Russian Federation on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of October. We thank you for organizing this open debate on women and peace and security. Cambodia aligns itselfwith the statement delivered by the representative of Thailand on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations this morning. In the twenty-first century, it is more evident than ever that women play an integral part in our global efforts in the prevention and resolution of conflicts, peace negotiations, peacebuilding and providing humanitarian response. This is reflected in the resolution 1325 (2000), supported by the reports of the Secretary- General and other United Nations resolutions. Women are an integral part of global society and therefore should be no longer overlooked.”

“Children are the hope of a better world and the driving force for the successful implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/1). In this light, my delegation would like to reiterate its deeply held belief that the use of children in armed conflicts can be prevented only through the establishment of adequate social, political and economic conditions worldwide. To ensure a bright future for children and young adults, we must build inclusive societies marked by tolerance, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.”

“As important as it is to prevent radicalization, it is also necessary to create effective deradicalization programmes that would address the re-entry of child solders or those children affected by armed conflict into peaceful society. This would require prioritizing reintegration programmes focused on the education, health and social welfare of children. In this context, radicalization should be addressed in schools and at home, where children are taught at an early age about the dangers of j oining, either voluntarily or by force, non-State armed groups. Moreover, migrant children should be effectively integrated within schools in their respective host nations so as to feel accepted in what is a new and foreign place to them.”

“This is a particularly development, which negatively affects children's psyche, contributing to their radicalization. In this context, it is important to make children's concerns part of any peace process negotiations. Mr. President, in your concept note (see S/2016/662). you rightly point out that engaging non-State armed groups on child-protection issues may reap positive benefits, as we have seen manifested in various parts of the world. Cambodia welcomes these efforts and supports the use of such an approach in the future. The successful reintegration of children into society is a crucial consideration in this respect.”

“As a State party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and a signatory to its Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict of 2000, Cambodia supports initiatives of the United Nations aimed at protecting children in conflict. Moreover, having endorsed the Paris Commitments, the Royal Government of Cambodia is committed to working with our global partners, Member States and United Nations agencies in our efforts to end the victimization of children by non-State armed groups. Cambodia views with particular concern the observations contained within the Secretary-General's report that children, in seeking safety and peace at refugee camps, have been recruited to serve as child solders, taken sexual advantage of, abducted and otherwise victimized.”

“The international community cannot continue to tolerate the impunity of non-State armed groups and must respond swiftly and effectively. In this context, we must strengthen the existing legal instruments for the protection of children in armed conflict. At the same time, we must be careful to ensure that the international response to non-State armed groups does not cause further harm to children. We must be careful not to inadvertently contribute to children's suffering, and so must ensure that the global response is fully compliant with international law and emphasizes the protection of civilian populations, particularly women and children. The Royal Government of Cambodia is resolved to protect children and their rights in situations of armed conflict.”

“While associating itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Thailand on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, I wish to speak in my national capacity as follows. Cambodia shares the concerns expressed by fellow delegations about the difficult plight of children affected by armed conflict. Children are the hope of the future, yet time and again children fall victim to acts of violence committed by non-State armed groups. Attacks against children are on the rise, and there appears to be no safe haven for children to escape armed violence. The Secretary-General clearly outlines in his report that attacks on schools and hospitals continue unabated, and that abductions of children by terrorist organizations have increased considerably.”

My appreciation also goes to Ms. Leila Zerrouui, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, and Mr. Anthony Lake, Executive Director of UNICEF, for their briefings on the situation on the ground relating to children in armed conflict.”

“Whenever, there was an attack by the rebellious groups, either on civilians or on peacekeepers, there was no effective response from the United Nations, except to adopt a silent attitude that only caused more trouble in the country. Therefore, I believe that effective measures should be taken to ameliorate such situations. On a wider perspective, the lessons learned have taught us that clear peacekeeping mandates, together with political support, sufficient resources and adequate financial and logistical support, are the key elements necessary for the United Nations to effectively safeguard and protect the most vulnerable civilian population in conflict situations.”

“While coordinated actions among the military and civilian peacekeepers and local authorities are being conducted, it is important to closely monitor and report on the evolving security situation on the ground in order to ensure a prompt response. In this sense, if peacekeeping operations are to succeed on the ground they will require the involvement of all stakeholders, ranging from international organizations to the Security Council, which is the organ responsible for setting the mandates peacekeeping operations. My country well understands the challenges that United Nations peacekeepers are facing. The lessons learned from my country are that when rebellious groups were not taking part in the United Nations-arranged peace process, civilians in the most dangerous areas were not adequately protected.”

“Mine action makes it possible for peacekeepers to carry out patrols and allow humanitarian agencies to deliver assistance to ordinary citizens to live without fear. For this reason, Cambodia has contributed more than 3,000 Blue Helmet troops to United Nations peacekeeping operations worldwide. Through its National Peacekeeping Operations Centre, Cambodia looks forward to hosting training sessions, jointly run by national and international experts, in the field of demining and the destruction of explosive remnants of war. Moreover, the ASEAN Regional Mine Action Centre was inaugurated in May in Cambodia as a centre of excellence to address the impacts of landmines and explosive remnants of war.”

“The protection of civilians should be the motto of their missions. Protection should cover civilians in both conflict and non-conflict areas where peacekeepers are stationed. In this instance, it is necessary to promote the rule of law at the national and international levels. States have the primary responsibility to protect civilians. Therefore, countries hosting peacekeeping operations should work more to strengthen their national rule of law, particularly as it relates to legislation on the protection of civilians. In this light, the predeployment and in-mission training of United Nations peacekeepers and staff are critical to protecting the civilian population. Training should focus on United Nations standards of conduct, the obligation to observe the laws of the host country, and the promotion of humanitarian legal principles.”

“President, for the thought-provoking questions in your concept note (S/2016/503, annex), highlighting how peacekeeping operations can do more to provide protection to civilians. Peacekeeping operations are becoming increasingly complex and varied. Widespread terrorism, mass displacements of populations, large-scale disease outbreaks and climate change have strained international resources and undermined the effectiveness of peacekeeping efforts globally. As peacekeeping components of multidimensional operations are designed to protect the most vulnerable population, they should show more caring and humanitarian responsibilities in carrying out their duties. Cambodia advocates zero tolerance of sexual violence against children and of serious crimes committed by United Nations peacekeepers and staff.”

“In practicing preventive diplomacy, we must decide on the core message of the United Nations, a message that would resonate globally, yet apply comfortably to local conditions. That message should be easy to spread in the print media and over the Internet, and be in line with the Charter of the United Nations. Moreover, the content of the message should be integrated into the work of the United Nations itself, with United Nations staff members receiving clear communication guidelines on how to inform the public about their work more effectively. Developing such a unified counter-terrorism narrative could further strengthen the values of peace embraced by the Organization. Naturally, those efforts will require political and financial support so as to enable effective global action.”

“The promotion of civic engagement programmes involving young people in the attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/1), as well as the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, will empower young people and provide them with a sense of purpose. Furthermore, the promotion of education and volunteering programmes will provide young people with a sense of ownership in the implementation of global sustainable development action, breaking them away from the cycle of violence. In our efforts to silence the extremist narratives and distorted ideologies of terrorist groups and thereby turn young people away from violence, it is important that the global community speak with one voice. That voice is best heard through the work and actions of the United Nations and its specialized agencies.”

As such, in promoting peace, stability and socioeconomic development, it is important to involve young people in the development of the future we want.”

When it comes to terrorist recruits, there is no unified profile for law enforcement officials to concentrate on. The age, gender, social background and motivations of recruits vary on a case-by-case basis, making standard solutions difficult to apply.

In this light, my delegation believes that the United Nations can play a central role in designing a comprehensive international strategy aimed at countering and refuting the extremist ideologies of terrorist organizations. To that end, a number of measures could be considered, including addressing the root causes of violent conflict, promoting education and civic engagement in the attainment of the sustainable development agenda, and engaging the United Nations and its specialized agencies in the dissemination of a strategic agreed counter-narrative.”

Regrettably, their efforts have enabled the recruitment of supporters. My delegation is deeply concerned by the intensity and spread of terrorist attacks. We need to work closely together in countering the spread of terrorism and counteracting the violent narratives and distorted ideologies of these terrorist groups. In the fight against terrorism, countering extremist ideology and the narrative is one of the most important objectives to achieve.”

I wish to associate myself with the statement made by the representative of Thailand on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

In that context, my delegation looks forward to the review of the United Nations Global Counter- Terrorism Strategy to be conducted in June. We will work productively with other Member States and United Nations agencies in our efforts to further strengthen the global counter-terrorism response.”

“The Royal Government of Cambodia is deeply disturbed by terrorists' deliberate destruction of cultural heritage sites and thefts of priceless ancient artifacts. Such unspeakable practices erode the historic fabric of our society. Cambodia will stand with the international community in our global efforts to keep our ancient history alive. My delegation therefore fully supports resolutions 2199 (2015) and 2253 (2015), which aim to suppress terrorist financing and thus prevent terrorist groups and their supporters from compromising international peace and security. The spread of terrorism undermines our efforts to strengthen the global economy and ensure sustainable growth and development for all. In order to fight it, the international community must act decisively and in a unified and well-coordinated manner.”

“To fight terrorism successfully, we must eradicate the root causes of conflict. Conflict prevention is a prerequisite for sustainable peace and respect for human rights. Poverty, discrimination, a lack of education, social exclusion and inequality only perpetuate the cycle of violence. We can undercut the recruitment of terrorists and terrorism's global spread through the adequate and stable improvement of social, political and economic conditions. We must all take this on board, because we can never succeed in attaining our sustainable development agenda without first securing a safe and prosperous future for our children. In that connection, it is absolutely essential that we safeguard and preserve the cultural heritage of humankind for future generations.”

This is essential if we are to ensure universal respect for the principles of justice as outlined in the Charter, and it is very important for the three pillars of the Organization's work - peace and security, development and human rights. Counter-terrorism action must follow a comprehensive approach. In line with resolution 2178 (2014), the global community must focus on combating radicalization and terrorist recruitment by countering terrorist propaganda and preventing terrorists from exploiting social media and Internet communications technologies for incitement and the propagation of violent extremist messages.”

The rapid spread of terrorist threats is indeed disturbing. While the scourge of terrorism has spread too fast and too far, it can be defeated by a sustained, comprehensive approach. The unpredictability, frequency and potency of terrorist attacks demand increased international solidarity and cooperation, with the United Nations taking a central role in the maintenance of international peace and security. As we work together on that, the Royal Government of Cambodia would like to reaffirm its strong commitment to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.”

“Mr. President, I would like to extend my congratulations to you and the People's Republic of China for assuming the presidency of the Security Council during the month of April and to express my gratitude for organizing this highly important debate. My delegation aligns itself with the statement made by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who spoke on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. My delegation shares the concerns expressed by many delegations at the Council today. Every day, we are faced with images of violent extremism and terrorist action. The self-proclaimed Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and its horrendous crimes are menacing peace, stability and human security worldwide.”

“The United Nations branches have their own role to play in establishing more peaceful and secured societies. However, conflicting interests have diminished the core value of each entity. I believe that we have not yet exhausted our efforts to save the whole world from sliding into conflict. In conclusion, I hope that our debate today will send a good message to the outside world that the United Nations is relevant in its endeavours to maintain international peace and security. In this regard, we must work to ensure the fundamental freedoms of all humankind. We must work to enhance and respect human dignity, international norms, equity and inclusiveness for all nations and population.”

“Despite the this policy, justice still needs to be handed down. In the case of Cambodia, the top perpetrators of serious crimes have been brought before the hybrid court whose functions are coordinated by the Royal Government of Cambodia and the United Nations. In a wider context, my country believes that the culture of peace must be cherished in the hearts of all people, regardless of their religious beliefs. Confidence-building measures and preventive-diplomacy, through multilateral and regional mechanisms, must be established. Similarly, mediating the interests of all social groups - be they poor, unequal or of any ethnic community - and adopting reconciliation in a step-by-step process on a variety of levels will ensure durable peace and security.”
