On March 16, 2022, Watchlist, the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, and the Alliance’s Task Force on Children Associated with Armed Forces and Armed Groups (CAAFAG) published an Operational Guidance on Negotiating and Implementing Handover Protocols. Handover protocols are an explicit recognition by states and, at times, armed groups, that CAAFAG are first and foremost victims of grave violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, and they offer CAAFAG a safe avenue to leave armed forces and armed groups and receive the care, protection, and reintegration support they need.
