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.
