In April, the UN Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict (SCWG-CAAC) adopted conclusions on the situations of children and armed conflict in Yemen, the Central African Republic (CAR), and Afghanistan, respectively. In its conclusion, the Working Group strongly condemned ongoing violations against children in Yemen and called for accountability for all violations and abuses against children. In its conclusion on the situation of children in CAR, the Working Group welcomed the inclusion of child protection provisions in the February 2019 peace agreement between the Government of CAR and 14 non-State armed groups, while condemning continued violations committed by signatories to the agreement.
