Pleased to be in Oslo sharing some insights into how the #EWIPA Political Declaration can be leveraged to increase the protection of children in armed conflict.

👉It is imperative to break silos. The Declaration must become a cross-cutting tool with a global reach.

Ways to increase respect of the political declaration:
1. Break the silos. It has to be a cross cutting tool with global reach
2. Situations of respect for #IHL exist, they should be highlighted
3. Accountability at domestic & international level
