The Special Rapporteur will promote the international normative framework for the protection of children, and the responsibility of States as the primary duty holders, to protect internally displaced children and address their needs. She will collaborate with key international and national partners, assisting them to strengthen their work, including UNICEF and UNHCR, with which she will seek strategic partnerships on this issue. While excellent resources exist, there must be better awareness of them, and technical assistance to implement them in practice. Positive practices should be identified and applied elsewhere where displaced children are at risk. Initiatives to protect girls, particularly in conflict situations, should also be brought into focus and better deployed, as a matter of urgency.
