Protecting Children in Emergencies

Save the Children Sweden has updated its guide, Child Protection in Emergencies (2006). It summarizes relevant international standards and protection principles that should be applied to ensure the rights of children during conflict or emergency situations.

Other operational materials that provide guidance on protecting children in armed conflict or humanitarian situations include:

- Child Soldiers - Care and Protection for Children in Emergencies: A Field Guide (2001) [text]
