SRSG on children and armed conflict: Annual report 2017, para. 27
- Paragraph text
- The World Humanitarian Summit, held in May 2016, also focused on increasing adherence to international law by parties to conflict. At the summit, the Special Representative took part in the high-level leaders' round table on upholding the norms that safeguard humanity, where she represented the United Nations and made commitments on behalf of the Organization to intensify the monitoring, investigation and reporting of violations and to engage in increased advocacy with parties to conflict when violations occur. At the same event, the Charter on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action was launched. This initiative will help to ensure that the many children who are permanently disabled during conflict, sometimes purely as the result of a lack of basic medical services to treat minor conditions, are not forgotten.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2016, para. 38
- Paragraph text
- Still, such progress, however significant, needs to be further consolidated. The protection of children from violence cannot be an afterthought. The implementation of the 2030 Agenda requires strengthened partnerships and the mobilization of significant resources. Broad global alliances uniting Governments, civil society, community and religious leaders, the private sector, international organizations and all other actors, including children themselves, are crucial to advancing this process. In addition to the High Time to End Violence against Children initiative, the Special Representative has strongly supported the establishment of significant initiatives promoted with this aim, including the Global Partnership and the Fund to End Violence against Children, SDG Alliance 8.7 to end child labour and the Global Partnership on Children with Disabilities.
