UN: The Six Grave Violations against Children during Armed Conflict - The legal foundation

Submitted by crinadmin on

The six grave violations against children during times of conflict, enumerated by the Security Council in its resolutions, form the basis of the Council’s architecture in protecting children during war. Monitoring and Reporting mechanisms set up around the world use this framework to gather  evidence of grave violations against children in reporting to the Council. This Working Paper attempts to analyse the six grave violations more deeply, exploring their basis in international law.

This is the first in a series of Working Papers developed by the Office of the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict to assist the community of practice working on the protection of children affected by armed conflict.
