My country welcomes the recent developments in the Security Council discussions on children and armed conflict, such as the focus on sexual violence, in particular on justice and accountability, the increased attention to the issues of child protection when setting up or renewing United Nations mission mandates and the attention of children in fast-changing situations on the Security Council agenda. We also welcome the regular briefings by Special Representative Zerrougui to the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, as well as other activities for the greater accountability. We would encourage all actors to continue with those efforts and to enhance the efficiency of the tools at their disposal.
