(Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict) – The UN Secretary-General must publish an accurate and credible list of perpetrators of grave violations in his upcoming 2017 annual report on children and armed conflict, a group of 41 civil society organizations said today in an open letter. The open letter reacts to the Secretary-General’s reported – and unprecedented – decision to ‘freeze’ the addition of warring parties that have been found to commit grave violations against children to his 2017 annual report.
