	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2020 answer text <p>The UK is firmly committed to protecting children in armed conflict. We use our membership as a UN Security Council Permanent Member to prioritise conflict-related child protection issues in Council discussions and ensure that UN operations have the capacity and capability to address them. The UK is the largest single financial contributor to the Office of the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Children and Armed Conflict, contributing £800,000 in the last five years. The office works with parties to conflict that are committing grave violations to develop and implement action plans with the UN to (1) verify and release any child soldiers associated with armed groups and forces, (2) prevent re-recruitment and (3) the perpetration of other grave violations. The UK increased our funding for the 2019/20 financial year by a further £450,000 to the SRSG's core mandate and £50,000 for activities relating to the SRSG's Global Coalition for Reintegration.</p><p>In 2018, the UK endorsed the Safe Schools Declaration and the Vancouver Principles, both key mechanisms for preventing grave violations against children. We collaborated with Sweden and others to agree Resolution 2427, adopted by the UN Security Council in July 2018, to strengthen protection mechanisms for children in armed conflict. We delivered a joint statement to the Human Rights Council in March 2019, reiterating our strong support for the mandate of the SRSG for Children And Armed Conflict, and called upon States to increase accountability for perpetrators of all six grave violations. Last year, the 30<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UK signed up to the <em>UN Voluntary Global Pledge – for Every Child, Every Right</em>, which called for Member States to reaffirm their commitment to upholding and protecting child rights in the 21<sup>st</sup> century, and promoted children's perspectives in the development and assessment of strategies and programmes designed to realise their rights.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 13/01/2020 13:40:48 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
