(OSRSG-CAAC) – Strong commitments to protect children are contained in a joint statement issued by the leaders of three armed movements active in the long-troubled Sudanese region of Darfur. The trio issued the statement after meeting one by one in Austria with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Leila Zerrougui, then consulting with her collectively during two further days of conferencing that included the Joint Special Representative of the United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UMAMID).
