Mexico and children impacted by armed conflicts

Resolution 1882 was adopted only in August 2009 and we felt it was too early to expect to see the effects of this resolution reflected in a statistically meaningful way. However, we have not tried to include resolution 1882 in our analysis of the Council’s results in incorporating its thematic decisions in country-specific work. This report examines the details of resolution 1882 and the political process that led to its adoption. It also provides an updated assessment of the trends seen in the previous two reports.Ī significant development in 2009 was the adoption of a new resolution on children and armed conflict. It also highlighted key trends in 2008 and options for the Council and the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict during a period when a new resolution was starting to be discussed.Ĭontinuing with this series of reports, our 2010 Cross-Cutting Report on Children and Armed Conflict provides data on and analysis of how successful the Council was in 2009 in incorporating the discussions, principles and norms developed at the thematic level in its country-specific decisions. The second report built on the historical background of the issue and analysed data for 2008. Our 2008 report also provided a baseline for our second report published in April 2009. That report also examined the impact of the 2005 adoption of resolution 1612, which set up a monitoring and reporting mechanism and established the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict.

The first report in 2008 examined relevant data from 2003 to 2007 in resolutions, presidential statements, Council missions, Secretary-General’s reports, peace agreements and peacekeeping mandates in order to assess the degree to which the thematic issue of children and armed conflict has been addressed and reflected in the mainstream of the Council’s overall work on country-specific situations. This is Security Council Report’s third Cross-Cutting Report on Children and Armed Conflict.
