Special Representative Renews Agreement with SPLA to End Child Recruitment
Radhika Coomaraswamy, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, signs an agreement with the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), the South Sudanese Ministry of Defence, the UN Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS), and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), to renew all parties’ commitment to child protection. “This is an important day for South Sudan," said Ms. Coomaraswamy at the signing ceremony in Juba. "Not only does this Action Plan ensure the Government’s commitment that the SPLA will have no children within its ranks, but that all armed groups who have accepted amnesty with the Government must release their children".
