New Child Rights and Security Handbook addresses protection of children’s rights within security arrangements

Publication date: March 5, 2018

A multi-stakeholder working group of governments, companies and civil society joined forces today to release the Child Rights and Security Handbook, a companion to the Child Rights and Security Checklist released in March 2017. This companion guide will help governments and companies improve the protection of children’s rights within security arrangements and reduce security-related human rights abuses of children and young people, particularly at and around mining, oil and gas operations sites overseas.
