SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 33
- Paragraph text
- Ensuring progress towards achievement of the violence-related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, especially target 16.2, requires strong leadership, and effective accountability and monitoring mechanisms at the national, regional and global levels. This is a particular concern of the Special Representative, who has promoted consideration of progress towards the violence-related Sustainable Development Goal targets in the reporting and monitoring processes of the treaty bodies and by the Human Rights Council, and in the voluntary national reviews of the high-level political forum on sustainable development.

- The adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals demonstrates a shared sense of purpose on the part of the international community and gives renewed impetus to global efforts. In addition, it conveys a heightened sense of urgency to act and ensure that no one is left behind. It is incumbent upon all Governments and other stakeholders to show leadership and to inspire and mobilize action.

- Paragraph text
- Ensuring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal targets related to combating violence, especially target 16.2, requires effective accountability and monitoring mechanisms at the national, regional and global levels. This is a priority concern for the Special Representative, who has promoted their consideration by the Human Rights Council, especially through its universal periodic review and special procedures; by treaty bodies' monitoring and reporting processes; and by the voluntary national reviews of the high-level political forum on sustainable development. To support the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda, she is also actively engaged in the development of global monitoring indicators and in the promotion of monitoring tools and methodologies.

- Paragraph text
- Other countries have introduced new offences specific to cyberbullying to address its distinct aspects, such as the disclosure of intimate photographs without consent, indirect harassment and malicious impersonation online. For example, in July 2015, New Zealand adopted the Harmful Digital Communications Act, which criminalizes sending messages and posting material online that deliberately cause serious emotional distress or incitement to commit suicide. The new legislation is designed to deter and prevent harmful communications, reduce their impact on victims and establish new systems for quickly resolving complaints and removing damaging online material. It provides a broad range of remedies that a district court can order, including taking down material; publishing a correction or an apology or giving the complainant a right of reply; or releasing the identity of the source of an anonymous communication.

- Paragraph text
- All incidents must be investigated promptly and effectively, as ending impunity for attacks on health care is the best way to prevent their recurrence. Member States should investigate incidents, in a timely and transparent manner, and punish those responsible. Putting remedial measures in place is also a necessary element of accountability. When attacks have taken place, Governments should ensure that they mitigate the impact by repairing damage, clearing military hazards, providing emergency medical care and establishing safe routes and alternative medical facilities.

- Paragraph text
- In its resolution 70/137 on the rights of the child , the General Assembly underlined that full access to quality education was an essential precondition for achieving sustainable development and for the full realization of the right to education. In that regard, Goal 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Inclusiveness, quality and non-discrimination are fundamental principles that need to be systematically associated with education. When these principles are not given due consideration, education may increase social, ethnic and gender inequalities, further exacerbating divisions in society.

- Paragraph text
- Attacks against schools, teachers and students during armed conflicts are particularly worrying as they interfere with education precisely when it can be of most benefit, not only to teach essential life skills but also to promote respect, tolerance and understanding, all of which are vital for social reconstruction and cohesion. Affected populations often view education as essential to both their short- and long-term well-being, as it helps mitigate the psychological and social impacts of conflict by creating a sense of normality, stability, structure and hope and, therefore, to overcome a crisis. All parties to a conflict have a responsibility to ensure safe access to education. It is essential that there be continuous engagement with non-State armed groups on the protection of education to remind their leadership of their obligations to avoid interfering with education, whether directly or indirectly.

- Paragraph text
- The General Assembly has recognized that attacks upon medical and health personnel result in the loss of life and human suffering, weaken the ability of health systems to deliver essential life-saving services and produce setbacks for health development. Numerous attacks on medical facilities, including aerial bombardment, have heightened concerns about the protection of health care in conflict in recent months. However, hospitals, doctors, nurses, ambulances and patients have long suffered from acts that challenge the most basic principles of international humanitarian law.

- Cyberbullying is a serious manifestation of online violence and can be associated with different forms of sexual abuse. Cyberbullying may in fact include the posting and dissemination of images and pictures of a sexual nature, such as self-generated sexually explicit material; creating, sharing or forwarding messages or images of a sexual nature (sexting); or promoting online intimidation and harassment (cyberstalking), including with a view to obtaining sexual favours from the victim or coercing the victim into performing sexual acts (sextortion).

- Paragraph text
- Governments bear the primary responsibility for protecting civilians, and all parties to conflict must refrain from attacking civilian objects. Governments should adopt clear legislation and issue orders to their security forces to protect hospitals, doctors and patients. It is equally important that parties to conflict emphasize that hospitals are neutral civilian spaces and that medical personnel should be free to treat all wounded persons in line with medical ethics and without fear of repercussions.

- Paragraph text
- Several approaches have been pursued in developing national legislation on cyberbullying. Some States consider that there is no need for additional legislation. This may be the case where the existing criminal law provisions concerning harassment, assault, disclosure of personal information and incitement to hatred provide sufficient protection. Such provisions may be supplemented by civil remedies, for instance through an ombuds institution or data protection agency.

- Accountability for those who attack schools and hospitals is a key aspect of prevention. The Special Representative reiterates her call upon Member States to promote the guidance note, institute changes in national policies and legislation as well as in military doctrine, manuals and training, and investigate and prosecute those who deliberately target schools and hospitals. The Security Council expressed deep concern about the military use of schools and hospitals as it compromises their civilian status, puts them at risk of attacks as lawful military targets, and has a disruptive effect on educational and medical activities. The Special Representative invites the Human Rights Council and other human rights bodies to use all available means to draw attention to the issue, including the universal periodic review, country situations and thematic reports. Lastly, the Special Representative welcomes the release on 16 December 2014 of the "Guidelines for Protecting Schools and Universities from Military Use during Armed Conflict", by the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack, and encourages Member States to adopt them.

- As in conflict and post-conflict situations, disarmament and demobilization programmes can be used in communities affected by armed violence to reduce the number of guns in circulation. In such initiatives, guns are surrendered in return for collective or individual rewards, such as building materials, vouchers for groceries and support for development projects. Those efforts are particularly successful when there is a high degree of public awareness, transparency and community involvement.

However, that is a particularly challenging area, given that physical contact need not occur in order for a crime to be committed. Moreover, much of the evidence involved in those cases is in an ephemeral electronic format that may elude traditional policing methods.
