"Security conditions certainly influence the spread of HIV, which has a negative impact on all sectors and levels of society. It destabilizes the economy and contributes to the instability of societies. The HIV epidemic, exacerbated by conditions of violence and instability, increases the risk of exposure to the disease as a result of mass movements of people, widespread uncertainty, reduced access to medical care, and conflict-related sexual violence committed by members of armed groups. Populations fleeing conflict areas, displaced persons or refugees in camp settings are more likely to be vulnerable."

"We commend the efforts made by UNAIDS and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations with regard to the education and training of peacekeepers. There is a need to further strengthen the process of voluntary counselling and testing in United Nations- mandated missions. Training peacekeepers in gender awareness and child protection and the ability to recognize and respond to sexual violence and exploitation will not only influence their behaviour, but also bring added value to the positive role of peacekeepers as agents of change."

"It must be emphasized that in some situations HIV can negatively affect and be an obstacle to gender empowerment and the full involvement of women in peacebuilding efforts. Greater protection of women and girls has been emphasized through the adoption of Security Council resolutions 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009), 1889 (2009) and 1960 (2010)."

"We underline that UNAIDS, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and other relevant actors should work closely with local communities, targeting vulnerable groups of persons. They can also be part of broader activities for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration and security sector reform in peacekeeping efforts."

"Lastly, I would like to emphasize that HIV/AIDS, a disease that knows no boundaries, no gender or race, or even age difference, has become a global concern. On the other hand, world peace depends not only on securing borders, but also on securing people against threats and risks to their security. Through its work, the Council is undoubtedly committed to seeking solutions and to addressing the challenges that may arise. Resolution 1983 (2011) is a clear expression of our collective will and continuous efforts to enhance the responsibility for maintaining international peace and security."
