<p>The UK takes allegations of abuses against children in armed conflict extremely
seriously. We strongly support the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General
for Children and Armed Conflict and continue to fund her office and work. At the UN
Open Debate on Children and Armed Conflict on 23 June, the UK reaffirmed our commitment
to tackling violations against children in armed conflict and highlighted the need
for a transparent and credible framework for accountability based on a standardised
and evidence-backed approach to de-listing and listing of state and non-state actors
for violations. We have called upon the UN to review its approach and we will continue
to engage constructively with the UN and member states to ensure the effectiveness
of the listing mechanism.</p>
