Implementation guidance for the Vancouver Principles.: D2-416/1-2019E-PDF

"In November 2017, Canada launched The Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers at the UN Peacekeeping Defence Ministerial conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Vancouver Principles are a set of political commitments focused on child protection in peacekeeping, including all stages of a conflict cycle. They comprise 17 principles that focus on preventing the recruitment and use of child soldiers by armed forces and armed groups. The Implementation Guidance for the Vancouver Principles offers a common basis to develop or amend policies, doctrine, training and education on child soldiers in the context of UN peace operations. For each principle, the guidance provides background and explains how UN Member States' military, policy and civilians who operate under a UN mandate, can contribute to the principle's implementation. Where possible, concrete examples are provided along with useful references to available and authoritative resources"--Provided by publisher.
