Eurochild reaction to the updated EU Guidelines on Children and Armed Conflict

Eurochild welcomes the updated EU Guidelines on Children and Armed Conflict and calls on the EU to protect children in all armed conflicts.

Eurochild welcomes the updated EU Guidelines on Children and Armed Conflict, which aim to enhance the EU’s ability to protect children affected by armed conflicts through prevention, accountability, and holistic interventions. We urge the EU to apply the Guidelines alongside diplomatic and economic tools to uphold the rights of children affected by all conflicts while putting all efforts into preventing them. Guaranteeing these rights is fundamental to fostering a peaceful environment for children and is a precondition for children to live in dignity, respect and full enjoyment of their rights.
