  1. At its 81st meeting, on 14 June 2019, the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict examined the second report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in Yemen (S/2019/453), which was introduced by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict. The Permanent Representative of Yemen to the United Nations also addressed the Working Group (see annex).

  2. The members of the Working Group welcomed the report of the SecretaryGeneral, submitted in accordance with Security Council resolutions 1612 (2005), 1882 (2009), 1998 (2011), 2068 (2012), 2143 (2014), 2225 (2015) and 2427 (2018), and took note of the analysis and recommendations contained therein.

  3. The members of the Working Group expressed grave concern over the scale, severity and recurrence of violations and abuses endured by children in Yemen, and strongly condemned all violations and abuses that continue to be committed against children in Yemen. They urged all parties to the conflict to fully implement the Stockholm Agreement, and to work towards a comprehensive negotiated political solution to end the conflict, as the only sustainable way to end the suffering of children in Yemen. The members of the Working Group underlined the importance of including child protection provisions in a future peace agreement. In addition, they welcomed the signing of a road map by the Government of Yemen on 18 December 2018 to revitalize the implementation of the action plan signed with the United Nations in 2014 to end and prevent the recruitment and use of children by its forces. The members of the Working Group also welcomed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the United Nations and the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen on 25 March 2019 and urged the other parties to the conflict to take steps to end and prevent violations and abuses against children. The members of the Working Group underlined the importance of accountability for violations of international humanitarian law and violations or abuses of international human rights law and preventing impunity.
