In 2005, the United Nations Security Council broke new ground in requesting the UN system to establish a mechanism to monitor and report on violations of children’s rights in situations of armed conflict. The implementation of the UN-led Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (MRM) is essential to improving the protection of children affected by armed conflict.

Watchlist Launches New Study on the Implementation of the UN-Led Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (MRM)

global reportThe Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict is pleased to present its global study on the implementation of the UN-led Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (MRM), a key component of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1612. The findings of this study are presented in a series of five reports: four country-specific reports on Colombia, DR Congo, Sri Lanka and Uganda along with a global report entitled Getting it Done and Doing it Right. .

The implementation of the MRM is an important step in improving the protection of children affected by armed conflict, and has met with many successes since its inception. However, some surmountable challenges remain. In an effort to address these challenges, Watchlist undertook a global study on monitoring and reporting and the implementation of the MRM. This study presents key findings on the participation of NGOs in the MRM, maintaining security and respecting rights, leveraging networks and resources and, triggering timely responses to violations.

The global report is available here: [PDF] also available in French [PDF]. The country-specific reports can be downloaded here: Colombia [PDF] also in Spanish [PDF], DR Congo [PDF], also in French [PDF], Sri Lanka [PDF] and Uganda [PDF]. Spanish versions of the global report and the Colombia report will be forthcoming.
