Abstract
In our continuing series of reflections by human rights practitioners on their work, Radhika Coomaraswamy reflects here on her tenure as Special Representative of the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict. In the interview, Ms Coomaraswamy discusses the impact of monitoring and reporting efforts following the adoption of UN Security Council resolution 1612 (2005) regarding violations against children in the context of armed conflict. She also reflects on some of the challenges of dealing directly with armed groups who recruit and use child soldiers, and on a range of other issues with which her office is concerned - including questions of accountability, justice, reparations and the reintegration of former child soldiers.
