               Security Council                                                 Distr.: General

                                                                                12 July 2011

               Resolution 1998 (2011)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 6581st meeting, on
               12 July 2011

                    The Security Council,
                     Reaffirming its resolutions 1261 (1999) of 25 August 1999, 1314 (2000) of
               11 August 2000, 1379 (2001) of 20 November 2001, 1460 (2003) of 30 January
               2003, 1539 (2004) of 22 April 2004, 1612 (2005) of 26 July 2005, and 1882 (2009)
               of 4 August 2009, and all relevant Statements of its President, which contribute to a
               comprehensive framework for addressing the protection of children affected by
               armed conflict;
                    Reiterating its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international
               peace and security and, in this connection, its commitment to address the
               widespread impact of armed conflict on children;
                     Calling on all parties to armed conflicts to comply strictly with the obligations
               applicable to them under international law for the protection of children in armed
               conflict, including those contained in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and
               its Optional Protocol on the involvement of Children in armed conflict, as well as
               the Geneva Conventions of 12th August 1949 and their Additional Protocols of
               1977;
                     Acknowledging that the implementation of its resolutions 1612 (2005) and
               1882 (2009) has generated progress, resulting in the release and reintegration of
               children into their families and communities, and in a more systematic dialogue
               with the United Nations country-level task force and parties to the armed conflict on
               the implementation on time-bound action plans, while remaining deeply concerned
               over the lack of progress on the ground in some situations of concern where parties
               to conflict continue to violate with impunity the relevant provisions of applicable
               international law relating to the rights and protection of children in armed conflict;
                     Stressing the primary role of Governments in providing protection and relief to
               all children affected by armed conflict, and reiterating that all actions undertaken by
               United Nations entities within the framework of the monitoring and reporting
               mechanism must be designed to support and supplement, as appropriate, the
               protection and rehabilitation roles of national Governments;
                    Convinced that the protection of children in armed conflict should be an
               important aspect of any comprehensive strategy to resolve conflict;

S/RES/1998 (2011)

                    Recalling the responsibilities of States to end impunity and to prosecute those
               responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and other egregious
               crimes perpetrated against children;
                     Stressing the need for alleged perpetrators of crimes against children in
               situations of armed conflict to be brought to justice through national justice systems
               and, where applicable, international justice mechanisms and mixed criminal courts
               and tribunals in order to end impunity;
                    Noting also relevant provisions of the Rome Statute of the International
               Criminal Court;
                     Having considered the report of the Secretary-General of 11 May 2011
               (A/65/820-S/2011/250) and stressing that the present resolution does not seek to
               make any legal determination as to whether situations which are referred to in the
               Secretary-General’s report are or are not armed conflicts within the context of the
               Geneva Conventions and the Additional Protocols thereto, nor does it prejudge the
               legal status of the non-State parties involved in these situations;
                     Expressing deep concern about attacks as well as threats of attacks in
               contravention of applicable international law against schools and/or hospitals, and
               protected persons in relation to them as well as the closure of schools and hospitals
               in situations of armed conflict as a result of attacks and threats of attacks, and
               calling upon all parties to armed conflict to immediately cease such attacks and
               threats;
                     Recalling the provisions of the resolution of the General Assembly on “The
               right to education in emergency situations” (A/RES/64/290) related to children in
               armed conflict;
                     Noting that Article 28 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes
               the right of the child to education and sets forth obligations for State parties to the
               Convention, with a view to progressively achieving this right on the basis of equal
               opportunity;
                     1.   Strongly condemns all violations of applicable international law
               involving the recruitment and use of children by parties to armed conflict, as well as
               their re-recruitment, killing and maiming, rape and other sexual violence,
               abductions, attacks against schools or hospitals and denial of humanitarian access by
               parties to armed conflict and all other violations of international law committed
               against children in situations of armed conflict;
                     2.   Reaffirms that the monitoring and reporting mechanism will continue to
               be implemented in situations listed in annex I and annex II (“the annexes”) to the
               reports of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict, in line with the
               principles set out in paragraph 2 of its resolution 1612 (2005), and that its
               establishment and implementation shall not prejudge or imply a decision by the
               Security Council as to whether or not to include a situation on its agenda;
                    3.    Recalls paragraph 16 of its resolution 1379 (2001) and requests the
               Secretary-General to also include in the annexes to his reports on children and
               armed conflict those parties to armed conflict that engage, in contravention of
               applicable international law;
                    (a)   in recurrent attacks on schools and/or hospitals

2                                                                                11-41118

                                                                                S/RES/1998 (2011)

                 (b) in recurrent attacks or threats of attacks against protected persons in
           relation to schools and/or hospitals in situations of armed conflict, bearing in mind
           all other violations and abuses committed against children, and notes that the
           present paragraph will apply to situations in accordance with the conditions set out
           in paragraph 16 of its resolution 1379 (2001);
                 4.   Urges parties to armed conflict to refrain from actions that impede
           children’s access to education and to health services and requests the Secretary-General to continue to monitor and report, inter alia, on the military use of schools
           and hospitals in contravention of international humanitarian law, as well as on
           attacks against, and/or kidnapping of teachers and medical personnel;
                5.    Invites the Secretary General, through the Special Representative of the
           Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, to exchange appropriate
           information and maintain interaction from the earliest opportunity with the
           governments concerned regarding violations and abuses committed against children
           by parties which may be included in the annexes to his periodic report;
                 6.   While noting that some parties to armed conflict have responded to its
           call upon them to prepare and implement concrete time-bound action plans to halt
           recruitment and use of children in violation of applicable international law;
                 (a) Reiterates its call on parties to armed conflict listed in the annexes of the
           Secretary-General’s report on children and armed conflict that have not already
           done so to prepare and implement, without further delay, action plans to halt
           recruitment and use of children and killing and maiming of children, in violation of
           applicable international law, as well as rape and other sexual violence against
           children;
                 (b) Calls upon those parties that have existing action plans and have since
           been listed for multiple violations to prepare and implement separate action plans,
           as appropriate, to halt the killing and maiming of children, recurrent attacks on
           schools and/or hospitals, recurrent attacks or threats of attacks against protected
           persons in relation to schools and/or hospitals, in violation of applicable
           international law, as well as rape and other sexual violence against children;
                 (c) Calls upon those parties listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General’s
           report on children and armed conflict that commit, in contravention of applicable
           international law, recurrent attacks on schools and/or hospitals, recurrent attacks or
           threats of attacks against protected persons in relation to schools and/or hospitals, in
           situations of armed conflict, to prepare without delay, concrete time-bound action
           plans to halt those violations and abuses;
                (d) Further calls upon all parties listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General’s report on children and armed conflict, to address all other violations and
           abuses committed against children and undertake specific commitments and
           measures in this regard;
                (e) Urges those parties listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General’s report
           on children and armed conflict to implement the provisions contained in this
           paragraph in close cooperation with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict and the United Nations country-level task
           forces on monitoring and reporting;

11-41118                                                                                3

S/RES/1998 (2011)

                     7.    In this context, encourages Member States to devise ways, in close
               consultations with the United Nations country-level task force on monitoring and
               reporting and United Nations country teams, to facilitate the development and
               implementation of time-bound actions plans, and the review and monitoring by the

                     9.   Reiterates its determination to ensure respect for its resolutions on
               children and armed conflict, and in this regard:
                    (a) Welcomes the sustained activity and recommendations of its Working
               Group on Children and Armed Conflict as called for in paragraph 8 of its resolution

               relevant provisions of its resolutions 1539 (2004), 1612 (2005) and 1882 (2009);

                      10. Encourages Members States that wish to do so to continue to
               communicate relevant information to the Security Council on the implementation of

           reports on country-specific situations, the matter of children and armed conflict is
           included as a specific aspect of the report, and expresses its intention to give its full
           attention to the information provided therein, including the implementation of

           concerned, to establish appropriate strategies and coordination mechanisms for
           information exchange and cooperation on child protection concerns, in particular on

           information collected and communicated by the mechanism is accurate, objective,
           reliable and verifiable;
                18. Stresses that effective disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration
           programmes for children, building on best practices identified by UNICEF and other
           relevant child protection actors, including the International Labour Organization, are

               crucial for the well-being of all children who, in contravention of applicable
               international law, have been recruited or used by armed forces and groups, are a
               critical factor for durable peace and security, and urges national Governments and
               donors to ensure that these community-based programmes receive timely, sustained
               and adequate resources and funding;
                     19. Calls upon Member States, United Nations entities, including the
               Peacebuilding Commission and other parties concerned to ensure that the protection,
               rights, well-being and empowerment of children affected by armed conflict are
               integrated into all peace processes and that post-conflict recovery and reconstruction
               planning, programmes and strategies prioritize issues concerning children affected
               by armed conflict;
                     20. Invites the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict to
               brief the Security Council on the modalities of the inclusion of parties into the
               annexes of the periodic report of the Secretary-General on children and armed
               conflict, enabling an exchange of views;
                    21. Directs its Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, with the
               support of the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, to consider,
               within one year, a broad range of options for increasing pressure on persistent
               perpetrators of violations and abuses committed against children in situations of
               armed conflict;
                     22. Requests the Secretary-General to submit a report by June 2012 on the
               implementation of its resolutions and presidential statements on children and armed
               conflict, including the present resolution, which would include, inter alia:
                     (a) Annexed lists of parties in situations of armed conflict on the agenda of
               the Security Council or in other situations, in accordance with paragraph 19 (a) of

               embargo established pursuant to resolution 1907 (2009) (hereinafter referred to as
               the “Eritrea arms embargo”), as a serious threat towards peace and stability in the
               region,
                     Calling upon all Member States, in particular those in the region, to refrain
               from any action in contravention of the Somalia and Eritrea arms embargoes, and to
               take all necessary steps to hold violators accountable,
                     Reaffirming the importance of enhancing the monitoring of the Somalia and

               targeting and obstruction of the delivery of humanitarian aid by armed groups in
               Somalia, which has prevented the delivery of such aid in some areas and deploring
               the repeated attacks on humanitarian personnel,

               and reconciliation in Somalia as well as the dispute between Djibouti and Eritrea
               continue to constitute a threat to international peace and security in the region,

                 (a) as engaging in or providing support for acts that threaten the peace,
           security or stability of Somalia, including acts that threaten the Djibouti Agreement

           force;

           reaffirmed in paragraph 6 of resolution 1844 (2008);

           that constitutes financial support for a designated entity, poses a threat to the peace,
           stability, and security of Somalia, and thereby individuals and entities engaged in
           such commerce may be designated by the Committee and made subject to the
           targeted measures established by resolution 1844 (2008);
                4.    Calls upon the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) to consider
