SRSG on children and armed conflict: Annual report 2011, para. 17
- Paragraph text
- Dialogue between the United Nations and non-State armed groups for the development of action plans has been delayed in some cases for a variety of reasons, including lack of access to armed groups and of political will, fragmentation within armed groups or the inability to identify and hold groups accountable for violations committed. Countries affected by these constraints include Afghanistan, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Philippines, Somalia, the Sudan and Yemen.

Paragraph
SRSG on children and armed conflict: Annual report 2014, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- Between June 2012 and December 2013, the Optional Protocol was ratified by Cameroon, Indonesia and Nigeria, and was acceded to by Swaziland and Zimbabwe, bringing the total number of States parties to 152. To date, a total of 20 Member States have signed but not ratified the Optional Protocol. Furthermore, the Special Representative welcomes the firm pledge made in December 2013 by Mr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, to adhere to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and hopes that this will translate into ratification of the Convention and its Optional Protocols as soon as possible.

Paragraph
SRSG on children and armed conflict: Annual report 2010, para. 7
- Paragraph text
- Member States seem increasingly resolved to better protect vulnerable populations, including through more explicit civilian protection provisions in peacekeeping mandates. In United Nations peacekeeping, this has led to the development of new operational arrangements such as the Joint Protection Teams and Rapid Response and Early Warning Cell of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). The objective of these initiatives is to deepen information as the basis for more effective action; to better coordinate action across civilian, police and military components of peacekeeping operations; and to leverage peacekeeping resources more effectively, in particular the advantage of their physical presence in remote areas where the access of humanitarian actors may be limited. The evolution of the "conditionality policy" in MONUSCO (ensuring that support to national forces will be provided only if they comply with the condition that they protect civilians) is another healthy practice in the development of peacekeeping norms.
