Statement of Luxembourg at the June 10 Debate on the Protection of Civilians in the Context of Peacekeeping Operations

Since the early 2000s, the Council has endowed itself with a normative framework and ambitious mandates in particular with respect to the most vulnerable groups — children and women — by developing its children and armed conflict agenda and its women and peace and security agenda. It is important to implement these with rigour and without exceptions or restrictions.

To that end, the majority of the peacekeeping operations deploy specialist advisers — women’s protection advisers and child protection advisers.
