There has been heightened interest in the two annexes in the Secretary-General’s report, which list parties that have committed either one or more of the violations against children that can lead to this listing, i.e. Secretary-General António Guterres, Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict Virginia Gamba and a civil society representative are expected to speak. At press time, the annual report had not yet been published. A presidential statement, which would be drafted by Sweden, the penholder and chair of the Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict, is a possible outcome. France, the president for October, has indicated an interest in also having a discussion during the meeting on the Paris Principles and Commitments to protect children from unlawful recruitment or use by armed forces and groups. In October, the Council will hold an open debate to discuss the Secretary-General’s annual report on children and armed conflict.
