This event presents an opportunity to discuss the main conclusions of the discussion paper published by the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict on The CAAC mandate and Children with Disabilities in Armed Conflict and garner support for the implementation of its recommendations. Seeking to bridge the gap between child protection and disability inclusion actors, it will provide a platform for policy discussions and encourage dialogue and information exchange for the effective protection of children with disabilities in armed conflict.
The event will take place on December 7th, 2023, from 3:00pm to 4:30pm, in Conference Room 12 of the United Nations Secretariat Building, New York. Sign language interpretation and closed captioning will be provided. The event will also be webcasted on UN TV (https://media.un.org/en/webtv). Participants are invited to RSVP by COB Monday 4 December 2023. Note that external participants who do not already have a UN ground pass in their possession must register for the event. Due to capacity constraints, the organizers will only be able to arrange access to the UN premises for the 50 external participants first registered.
