St. Kitts and Nevis Delivers CARICOM Statement at the United Nations Security Council Addressing the issue of Children and Armed Conflict: Effective Strategies to End and Prevent Grave Violations Against Children

June 30, 2025

In her initial remarks, Ambassador Henry-Martin underscored the priority that Saint Kitts and  Nevis places on security matters and pledged her commitment to lead and collaborate on  addressing the critical security issues facing the Americas. Representing her nation and the  CARICOM region, she recognized the pervasive nature of security threats that disregard air,  land, and maritime borders. She called for a collaborative approach to strengthening  hemispheric security and emphasized that while she is cognizant of the need for a holistic  strategy that will treat all concerns of the hemisphere, she recognized that the specific  security concerns of small developing states must be prioritized for consideration and  action. 

The chairmanship of Saint Kitts and Nevis marks a notable achievement for the Federation as the Council on Hemispheric Security plays a crucial role in safeguarding peace and  stability throughout the region. Ambassador Henry-Martin’s term as Chair will run for one  year, during which she will work to advance the shared security goals of the Americas.
