Bosnia and Herzegovina attaches the utmost importance to the protection of children affected by armed conflict, and strongly condemns all situations, including recruitment, killing, maiming, rape and other sexual violence, attacks on schools and violations of international law committed against children in conflict hospitals, and denial of humanitarian access.
We are also confident that resolutions 1882 (2009) and 1960 (2010) have contributed to establishing practical means to bridge the difficulty of collecting, systematizing and verifying information on sexual violence in conflict situations, while retaining the separate focus of each mandate. In that regard, we also fully support the cooperation between the Special Representatives for Children and Armed Conflict and for Sexual Violence in Conflict regarding parties responsible for rape and sexual violence. We also support and emphasize the importance of the work of the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflicts.
