Child Rights and Security Checklist (UNICEF, 2017)

The Checklist is designed to help governments and companies assess the extent to which their security frameworks are attentive to and protective of children’s rights. It can be used by both extractive and non-extractive companies to identify, improve, and create greater stakeholder confidence in their protection of children’s rights within their security programs. In the same way it can be used by governments as a means of maintaining accountability for their public security agencies. The Checklist overall aims to help companies and governments in reducing security-related human rights violations against children and young people around the world.
