SRSG on children and armed conflict: Annual report 2010, para. 34
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Those who continue to commit grave child rights violations do so in part because they see that there are few, if any, personal consequences for abusing children. This perception, which is reinforced by the continued lack of direct action against perpetrators, must be redressed. Essentially, the cost of committing grave violations against children must be made prohibitive in terms of the personal consequences for perpetrators.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Representative of the Secretary-General for children and armed conflict
