Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed

by on

Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in Somalia, May 2008.

  • “Covering the period from 16 March 2007 to 15 March 2008, [the] report stresses that the level of grave violations against children in Somalia has been increasing over the past year, particularly with regard to the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict; the killing, maiming and rape of children; and the denial of humanitarian access to children. Over the past year, insecurity and violence
    in central and southern Somalia have risen, as Transitional Federal Government and Ethiopian forces continue to battle anti-Government armed groups. Mogadishu has been most affected by the conflict. In addition, a regional border dispute between Somaliland and Puntland has added to the overall insecurity in the country. In the absence of rule of law, crimes against civilians, including children, continue to be committed with impunity.”
