<p>The British Government has been a leader in developing policies and practical action
to promote the Protection of Civilians within the UN system. The Government is updating
its Protection of Civilians Strategy to ensure that it is fit for purpose in the context
of modern conflict, and comprehensive in addressing the situation of children and
other particularly vulnerable people such as people with disabilities and older people
in conflict zones. As part of that commitment the Government is working with the Polish
Government to introduce a new UN Security Council Resolution specifically addressing
the needs of the disabled in armed conflict within the broader protection of civilians
resolutions that have already been agreed. The Government expects that Resolution
to be passed before the end of June 2019.</p>
