SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2015, para. 106
Paragraph
Paragraph text
A coherent legal framework is essential for the success of efforts to reduce gun proliferation and prevent armed violence. Legislation should prevent access to guns by children and restrictions on arms in schools and other public settings where children may be placed at risk. It should set high standards for permission to acquire, possess or use guns; limit the number and types of guns permitted for different categories of users; and make authorized owners accountable, while removing weapons from people who cannot meet those standards of responsibility.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children
