Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 119
- Paragraph text
- Restorative justice represents a paradigm shift in how justice for children and young people is perceived in many countries around the world. It is anchored in the inalienable rights of the child and promotes the accountability and reintegration of children who have committed an offence through a non-adversarial and voluntary process, based on dialogue and problem solving.

SRSG on children and armed conflict: Annual report 2013, para. 101

- Measures to address the structural causes of child recruitment must tackle social exclusion and provide children and youth with education and socioeconomic alternatives.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 100
- Paragraph text
- The mandate of the Special Representative also honours the best of humankind; this comes, not surprisingly, from children themselves. Time and time again, the Special Representative has met children who have emerged from the most terrible nightmares and who yet remain resilient, confident, generous and eager to show the way ahead. In all regions of the world, young advocates join hands with national authorities, civil society and many other allies in raising awareness about the detrimental impact of violence, empowering young people to be the first line of protection from abuse and exploitation, and inspiring many others to build a world where children can grow up respected, nurtured and supported to achieve their ambitions and dreams. Even in the most desperate of situations, children demonstrate hope for a better world and determination to achieve lasting change. This is much more than positive thinking; this is about achieving positive change.
