The open debate provided an opportunity for Member States to discuss implementation of the CAAC agenda, with a particular focus on three topics: (i) protection of refugee, internally displaced, and stateless children; (ii) abduction of children and its differentiated impacts on girls and boys; and (iii) reintegration of children and peacebuilding. Drawing on the views of youth in his community, Patrick presented four recommendations to the Council, including: (i) better quality reintegration for children impacted by war; (ii) improving the sustainability of humanitarian response and programming through support for local civil society; (iii) enabling children and youth to meaningfully participate in decision-making processes; and (iv) ensuring accountability for rights violations.
