Watchlist Digital Library on Children and Armed Conflict

Welcome to the Watchlist Digital Library on Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC). This digital library includes key multilateral and national documents relevant to the CAAC agenda, which centers around the six grave violations against children in armed conflict. The aim of this digital library is to support the work of advocates, researchers, and other stakeholders engaging on the CAAC agenda to better protect children during armed conflict.

The multilateral documents in this digital library include 13 United Nations Security Council resolutions adopted on CAAC since 1999, as well as the United Nations Secretary General’s annual reports on CAAC published since 2000. The national documents include national legal and policy documents—such as legislation, constitutional provisions, judicial decisions, and executive orders—that integrate the multilateral CAAC agenda into the domestic level.
