A/68/267 eliminating all forms of violence against children and reiterates the need to ensure education for every child regardless of circumstances. 77. The Special Representative encourages national and international partners to focus on developing national capacity for the establishment of community structures to protect children, economic stabilization and the creation of livelihood opportunities, including youth-oriented employment strategies and programmes. Coordinated and holistic interventions are required to build effective and accountable institutions that provide people, in particular children and young people, with education, security, justice and jobs. C. Monitoring and responding to attacks on education and health care 78. The concerted effort by both the General Assembly, through its resolution 64/290 on the right to education in emergencies, and the Security Council, through its resolution 1998 (2011) on attacks on schools and hospitals, has put children’s access to education and health care in times of armed conflict firmly on the international agenda. 79. To follow up on these important advances, the Office of the Special Representative, in cooperation with partners, is preparing guidance for the field on monitoring and reporting on attacks on educational and health-care facilities and plans to have dialogue with parties to conflict to halt and prevent such violations. A collaborative effort between United Nations peacekeeping and political missions in the field, as well as other United Nations entities, including UNICEF, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the World Health Organization, will be essential in strengthening and disseminating good practices for mitigating the effects of conflict on children’s education and health care. 80. During the reporting period, notable progress was made in devising and reinforcing protective measures to ensure education in times of conflict. The Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack, created in 2010 and composed of United Nations entities and non-governmental organizations, spearheaded the development of draft guidelines for protecting schools and universities from military use during armed conflict, also known as the Lucens guidelines. The initiative, which results from broad consultations among military experts, child protection actors, education specialists and international humanitarian and human rights lawyers, is aimed at enhancing knowledge and understanding, as well as improving the monitoring and reporting of attacks on schools. It also served to advocate for the development of clear international norms on the interaction of military forces with schools and schoolchildren. The Special Representative strongly encourages Member States to support this process at both the technical and strategic levels and to promote concrete changes in national policies and legislation, as well as the inclusion of the guidelines in military doctrine, manuals and training. D. Mainstreaming child protection in peace agreements 81.
