SRSG on children and armed conflict: Annual report 2013, para. 92
- Paragraph text
- The adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty by the General Assembly in its resolution 67/234 B in April constitutes an important opportunity for child protection. There is long-standing awareness of the link between the global trade in conventional weapons, including small arms and light weapons, and grave violations committed against children in conflict situations. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that the widespread availability of small arms and light weapons, fostered by the inadequate regulation of the global arms trade, exacerbates conflicts and disproportionately affects children. Solid evidence also exists of the correlation between the proliferation of small arms and light weapons and the widespread practice of recruitment and use of children in conflict.

- Member States should accord priority to funding the strengthening of community-based child protection mechanisms as a critical measure in preventing child recruitment and linking community-based protection systems to formal child protection systems.
