    their well-being,

    Recalling all relevant General Assembly and Human Rights Council resolutions concerning the
    rights and protection of children in armed conflict,

    Noting with appreciation the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for
    Children and Armed Conflict and related United Nations bodies,

    Taking note of the Paris Principles and Guidelines on Children Associated with Armed Forces or
    Armed Groups, which encourage governments to protect children from unlawful recruitment and
    use in hostilities,

    1.

    Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict, and to
    comply fully with its provisions;

    2.
    Encourages States to endorse and implement the Paris Commitments to protect children from
    unlawful recruitment or use by armed forces or armed groups;

    3.

    reintegration of children associated with armed forces or armed groups, with attention to
    gender-specific programming to address the needs of girls affected by armed conflict;

    4.
    Demands that all parties to armed conflict strictly adhere to international humanitarian law,
    including the Geneva Conventions, and cease all violations and abuses committed against
    children;

    5.
    Requests the Secretary-General to continue the monitoring and reporting mechanism on
    children and armed conflict and to include the names of parties that recruit and use children in
    violation of international obligations in annual reports;

    6.
    Urges states to implement rehabilitation, social reintegration programs for affected children, and
    educate child protection staff;

    7.
    Appeals for increased international cooperation and support, particularly in financial and
    technical assistance, to improve national capacities to address the issue of children associated
    with armed conflict;

    8.

    of children affected by armed conflict.
