SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2015, para. 105
- Paragraph text
- Arms trafficking thrives in areas where violence and organized crime are present and calls for comprehensive strategies aimed at stemming the flow of guns. Reducing the proliferation of guns requires national and international regulation, intervention by the police and the courts, public awareness and disarmament efforts. It also requires responsibility and accountability in the private sector, from gun manufacturers and sellers to private security companies, whose armed staff outnumber the police in some countries.

For this reason, schools in many countries promote restorative justice practices to prevent and respond to bullying and violence in the playground and address serious offences within the school, including rape.
