  1. “Such partnerships at all levels of Government and society will be essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and the broader 2030 Development Agenda. As a post-conflict country, Cambodia has achieved full peace. One of the solutions that can secure long- lasting peace is through win-win policy that addresses the needs of all parties concerned. Through its lessons learned, Cambodia's win-win policy - initiated by Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of Cambodia, to wipe out the political and military organization of the Khmer Rouge at that time - contained three key points: securing a safe environment for peaceful coexistence; ensuring careers for those who were willing to integrate themselves into society; and safeguarding the property of those who defected to the Government.”

  2. “In that regard, my delegation buys into the ideas contained into the concept note, which rightly points out that the cycle of conflict arises from people being left out, marginalized, excluded and malnourished, and may therefore easily fall into the traps set by the groups of violent extremism, organized crime and terrorism. These factors could result in slow development. United Nations peacekeeping operations have played an important role in ending conflicts around the world and establishing peacebuilding principles in many regions. I believe that good governance and the rule of law are essential preconditions for stability, without which societies cannot function, let alone flourish. All Governments need the stability and predictability of good governance to flourish.”

  3. “Your concept note (S/2015/845, annex) compels us to generate practical results to possibly achieve our commitments under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/1), and is likely to lead us on the path to equitable sharing and caring, which are the building blocks of the maintenance of international peace and security. We have a long road to travel and rigorous actions are needed. It is unfortunate that armed conflicts continue to rage and claim the lives of combatants and civilians alike, including children in some parts of the world. Violent extremism, which continues to pose threats to peace and security, has diminished our hope. We may understand the root causes of a conflict, yet we do not stand united enough to join together to address them.”

  4. “I should like to join other colleagues in extending our deep condolences to the Government of France, the French people and the families of all the victims who lost their lives in a string of terrorist attacks in different locations, including a Cambodian restaurant - Le Petit Cambodge - in Paris on 13 November. Shocked and deeply saddened by the attacks, the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Cambodian people strongly condemn the abominable crimes and hope that the criminals will be severely punished. Permit me to congratulate you, Sir, on the United Kingdom's accession to the presidency of the Council for this month, and to thank you for organizing this open ministerial debate on the foremost relevant topic at the present time.”

  5. “In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that the Royal Government of Cambodia is resolved to protect children and their rights in situations of armed conflict. We are committed to working with our global partners, States Members of the United Nations and United Nations agencies in our efforts to end the Victimization of children by non-State armed groups. It is only by working together that we can ensure that future generations of children can live free and in peace.”

  6. “In that light, I reiterate my delegation's longstanding position that in order to protect children from violence, slavery and the everyday horrors of war, we must address the deep-rooted causes of conflict. Conflict prevention is a prerequisite for sustainable peace and respect for human rights. Poverty, discrimination, lack of education, social exclusion and inequality only perpetuate the cycle of violence. Preventing the use of children in armed conflict can be achieved only through the creation of adequate social, political and economic conditions worldwide. We must take careful note of that, because no sustainable development agenda can be successfully applied without first securing a safe and prosperous future for our children.”

  7. “The primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security rests with the United Nations, and we, as the international community, must assert the rule of law. We must strengthen existing legal instruments on the protection of children in armed conflict. To that end, we welcome the efforts of the Malaysian delegation to include abduction as an additional violation triggering inclusion of a party within the annexes of the Secretary-General's reports on children and armed conflict. Children are the future; they are the future of our progress and our civilization's development. Children deserve to be raised in nurturing environments without experiencing the physical and psychological trauma of armed conflict.”

  8. “The Secretary- General's report notes accurately that this practice serves as "a precursor to other violations, such as killing and maiming, recruitment and use, or sexual violence"; moreover, abduction is used as "a tactic to terrorize or target particular ethnic groups or religious communities" (S/2015/409, para. 6) The international community must devote close attention to that disturbing terrorist tactic, which is used to dehumanize, humiliate and subjugate entire populations, particularly women and children. As a State party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and a signatory to its 2000 Optional Protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflict, Cambodia supports United Nations initiatives aimed at protecting children in conflict.”

  9. “We share the concerns expressed by many delegations about the difficult situation that millions of children face as a result of armed conflicts, and we would like to emphasize the importance of the debate for children who are victims of non-State armed groups. Violence against children and attacks on their welfare are on the rise globally and are well documented. Abductions, rape, torture, slavery, attacks on schools and the use of children as combatants, suicide bombers and executioners cannot be tolerated by the international community. Cambodia strongly condemns all forms of violence perpetrated against children. My delegation is deeply concerned about the increasing trend of abductions of children by non-State armed groups.”

  10. “Allow me to express my congratulations to Malaysia on assuming the presidency of the Council this month and to thank it for having organized this very important meeting. My delegation would also like to thank the Secretary-General for the preparation of the annual report on children and armed conflict (S/2015/409) and his tireless efforts in working to improve the situation of children worldwide. Before I deliver my national statement, I should say that my delegation would like to associate itself with the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Viet Nam on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.”

  11. “My delegation appreciates the dedicated work of the Council to advance the issue of the plight of children and to protect children's rights in situations of armed conflict. The tireless efforts of the Council will further advance our cause and help ensure that future generations of children live in freedom and in peace.”

  12. “Girls and boys embody the meaning of children. Since we are giving importance to gender equality, girls should also enjoy equal opportunities and equal access to education. Therefore, Cambodia is fully supportive of the "Let Girls Learn" initiative, as it has been envisaged and made well-known to the people of Cambodia by the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, during her recent three-day official cultural visit to Siem Reap province from 20 to 22 March. Ending grave violations against children in armed conflict requires joint global action. The Royal Government of Cambodia is committed to working with our global partners, with Member States and with United Nations agencies in our effort to end the victimization of children by non-State armed groups.”

  13. “Poverty, discrimination, lack of education, social exclusion and inequality only perpetuate the cycle of violence. The ongoing intergovernmental negotiation on the post-2015 sustainable development agenda is an opportunity to address these issues. It can also inform the means of implementation on issues relating to the protection of children in armed conflicts. The post- 2015 sustainable development agenda should continue to emphasize inclusive, equitable development and economic growth, aimed at effectively addressing inequalities and the factors underpinning them. In that way, it will contribute to creating a more inclusive, secure and peaceful world. As stated here today, education should be viewed as a long-term investment. With knowledge, children can stay away from being recruited as combatants.”

  14. “To that end, the Secretary-General's report and other relevant recommendatory documents should be based on clear, accurate and verifiable data. As we debate here today, thousands of children are serving as soldiers in armed conflicts throughout the world. Some of those children were conscripted, and some were abducted and forced into combat. Yet others joined armed groups of their own volition, out of desperation, having been instilled with the erroneous ideology of non-State armed groups. Therefore, whether they partake in the violence and combat, or refuse to do so, children end up being trapped and victimized. To prevent the victimization of children, we must address the deep-rooted causes of conflict. Conflict prevention is the prerequisite for sustainable peace and respect for human rights.”

  15. “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, in 1992, Cambodia believes that the United Nations should continue to work more to protect children in armed conflicts. My delegation condemns all forms of violence perpetrated by the terrorist organizations, particularly violence against children. As the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security rests with the United Nations, we, as the international community, must fight this evil scourge resolutely. Furthermore, we must strengthen the existent legal instruments for the protection of children in armed conflicts.”

  16. “First of all, allow me to express my congratulations to you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of the Council for this month, and to thank you for organizing this important debate. I would also like to express my gratitude to the Secretary-General for briefing the Security Council on this important issue, which can serve to make our discussion more comprehensive. Cambodia aligns itself with the statement delivered by the Permanent Representative of Viet Nam on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Further to the points made in the ASEAN statement, I wish to state that Cambodia, as a post- conflict country, is determined to protect children and their rights in situations of armed conflicts.”

  17. “On regional efforts, I wish to endorse the statement delivered by the representative of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) at the General Assembly in December 2014, which laid out ASEAN's long-standing vision to integrate our people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, languages, religions and cultures towards a common future of peace and prosperity while we strive to realize the goals of the ASEAN Community in 2015. My delegation also wishes to acknowledge the ASEAN commitment to working towards the Millennium Development Goals and post-2015 development agenda, as we believe that peace must go hand in hand with development. In the meantime, we are working to realize the ASEAN Community's post-2015 vision, which was agreed upon at the 2014 ASEAN Summit.”

  18. “Therefore, bolder global efforts are needed, as we are approaching the deadline to realize the MDGs. Cambodia also attaches great importance to the promotion of equality and fundamental rights. In that regard, Cambodia welcomes the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, which would give greater impetus to efforts to advance gender equality and women's empowerment in the post-2015 development agenda, and is prepared to join the high-level thematic debate on that topic, which will be convened by the President of the General Assembly in March 2015.”

  19. “It should therefore be sustained through long-term development, which includes the rule of law, human rights, democracy, national reconciliation, poverty eradication, gender equality, sustainable economic growth and development, justice and interreligious interfaith. At its core is the quest to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which range from alleviating extreme poverty to providing universal primary education. However, Cambodia believes that many developing countries did not attain their MDGs primarily due to unfulfilled commitments, lack of resources, insufficient dedication and food insecurity. The situation was further aggravated by financial uncertainty in the developed countries, which had an effect on their commitment to official development assistance.”

  20. “Cambodia would like to take this opportunity to reiterate its condemnation, in the strongest terms, of the recent terrorist attack against Charlie Hebdo. Cambodia will engage with the international community to fight all forms of terrorism. Many conflicts have arisen from disparity, including from socioeconomic and gender inequality and religious and ideological differences, which require us to further focus on finding a better and long-lasting solution. To secure equity and proportional distribution, the regional and international integration of post- conflict countries is important to ensure that they do not fall back into conflict. Peace can be fragile.”

  21. “The international community remains seriously concerned about recent geopolitical security developments in many parts of the world. While we are accelerating our efforts to attain the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the existence of internal and external conflicts still cause disruption to our overall development. The respective attacks by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, Al-Qaida, Al-Shabaab and Boko Haram, the murders of school children in Pakistan, the brutal attack by terrorists against the French magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris and the terrorist attacks in Nigeria have posed further challenges for the international community in maintaining its commitment. Therefore, the United Nations must become more relevant to address the increasing terrorism and extremism, which threaten peace and security.”

  22. “At the outset, I would like to join previous speakers in congratulating the Republic of Chile and you, Mr. President, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council this month and, more important, for organizing this important open debate on inclusive development for the maintenance of international peace and security. I would also like to thank His Excellency Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon; His Excellency Mr. Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, Permanent Representative of Brazil and Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission; and Ms. Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and President of the Gbowee Peace Foundation Africa, for their briefings this morning. In many ways, the world in which we are living in is at a critical juncture, and the current picture is rather bleak.”
