Machel Study 10-Year Strategic Review: Children and Conflict in a Changing World

Comments:
The 1996 Machel Study challenged the world to recognize that "war affects every right of the child." This follow-up report analyses the progress – and challenges – of the subsequent decade. More than 40 UN agencies, non-governmental organizations and academic institutions – along with children from nearly 100 countries – contributed to this review, which was co-convened by the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict and UNICEF. The Strategic Review is part of ongoing advocacy efforts to bring the issues of children in conflict to the forefront.
