Statement delivered by the Honourable Dr. Vindhya Persaud, Minister of Human Services and Social Security of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana at the UNSC Open Debate on Promoting Conflict Prevention-Empowering All Actors Including Women and girls
1. Thank you, Mr. President, for convening this open debate on a very important issue. I also thank the briefers for their presentations.
2. In our increasingly volatile world, marred by conflict that is exacerbated by climate change and multifaceted insecurity which threatens the socio-economic development of millions of people, the root causes of conflict must be examined with emphasis on its prevention. Prevention must be our collective priority.
