Project: Training modules on child rights and child
protection in armed conflict.
CCLC’s international department developed content for a two-week training course on children
and armed conflict for the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping
Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Accra Ghana.
Funding sources: KAIPTC.
CCLC’s international department developed a two-week training course on child rights and child
protection in armed conflict for KAIPTC, an international research
and training centre that conducts professional training courses on
conflict prevention, management and resolution. Participants in the
courses include military personnel, International Peace Support
Operations, police officers, African Union personnel and others.
The modules are grounded in international human rights law,
humanitarian law and other international standards. They are highly
participatory and draw heavily on participants experiences. They
cover important underlying topics, such as; international human
rights law, child protection, justice for children and the use of
children as participants in conflict, and also advice on specific
conflict related challenges, including; disarmament, demobilisation
and reintegration, trafficking and sexual exploitation and abuse.
