Purpose
This project aims to reduce the number of child recruits and child soldiers in countries where the United Nations (UN) conduct peacekeeping operations. The Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers are a set of policy commitments focused on protecting children and the prevention of enlistment and use of child soldiers by armed forces and non-state armed groups. This project streamlines the Vancouver Principles and their implementation into the existing UN policy, guidance and training frameworks for child protection in UN Peace Operations with the UN Department of Peace Operations. The UN ensures that the principles are harmonized, implemented and respected by civilian, military and police peacekeepers.
