Being a 'Force for Good' - How the UK government can better protect children in armed conflict
This is the first of War Child UK’s annual reports on UK commitment to children in armed conflict.
This is the first of War Child UK’s annual reports on UK commitment to children in armed conflict.
In 2019, the UK had support relationships in at least eight countries where grave violations against children were verified by the UN. In this new report, War Child states that building the capacity of partner military forces, without appropriate efforts to ensure that the capacity is used in accordance with international law and best practice, places more children at risk.
This report aims to bring global attention to the challenges related to the reintegration of children associated with armed forces and groups, and promote better policy, practice and funding in the future.
