SRSG on children and armed conflict: Annual report 2014, para. 58
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In order to promote the implementation of those resolutions, the Special Representative, in collaboration with UNESCO, UNICEF and WHO, developed the guidance note entitled "Protect schools and hospitals: end attacks on education and health care". The guidance note, which was launched on 21 May, aims to strengthen monitoring of and reporting on attacks on schools and hospitals by providing key definitions and practical advice. The guidance note also promotes advocacy and dialogue with parties to conflict and the deepening of partnerships between various stakeholders in addressing the plight of children seeking access to education and health care. In addition, it provides practical advice on how to advocate with parties to conflict in order to prevent the military use of schools and hospitals. With a view to ensuring wide dissemination and effective implementation, the guidance is being published in English, French and Arabic. The Special Representative strongly encourages Member States to promote the guidance note and to institute changes in national policies and legislation, and to include the guidelines in military doctrine, manuals and training.
