SRSG on children and armed conflict: Annual report 2013, para. 89
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Investigations, prosecutions and trials of adult perpetrators of grave violations against children have remained extremely rare overall, however. Ending impunity for grave violations is a crucial element in enforcing compliance by parties with international obligations to protect children. The weak capacity of justice systems in countries affected by conflict requires specific support to ensure institutional responses to the needs of children affected by armed conflict.
