Statement from the Dallaire Institute on report criticizing the UN Framework to Protect Children in War
We are thrilled to announce our new podcast.
Children Peace and Security is a new podcast series produced by the Dallaire Institute for Children, Peace and Security.
Producers bring together subject-matter experts on the recruitment and use of children in conflicts, individual testimonies, and all those interested in ending the recruitment and use of children in violence through in-depth interviews and storytelling.
Dallaire Institute guests explore new ideas on everything from training, advocacy and new research findings to help prevent the recruitment and use of children.
Children Should Not Fight Wars
Yet, tens of thousands of children are forced, coerced or born into conflict every day where they end up fighting in conflicts created by adults. Join our movement to protect children and make the recruitment and use of child soldiers ‘unthinkable’. Together, we can make definitive, positive strides in ending this human rights abuse around the globe.
Vancouver Principles
At the Vancouver Principles International Review Workshop, the Dallaire Institute worked with the Government of Canada and over 75 experts from across the world to refine the guidance that will help transform political commitments into concrete action to prevent the recruitment and use of child soldiers.
