CROSS-Cutting REPORT 2011 NO.1 6 July 2011 SECURITY COUNCIL REPORT This report is available online and can be viewed together with Monthly Forecast Reports and Update Reports at cross-cuttinG REPORT www.securitycouncilreport.org A child with his AK-47 assault rifle taking part in Mai Mai military training in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Children and Armed Conflict Since 2007 Security Council Report has been tracking the implementation of Security Council thematic decisions on children and armed conflict in individual country-specific situations and publishing the results of this research in “cross-cutting” reports. In general, the research shows that there has been an upward trend in the incorporation of children and armed conflict issues into the country-specific work of the council although there are some areas where implementation of key resolutions on children and armed conflict is weak. This is our fourth Cross-Cutting Report on Children and Armed Conflict and we continue to detail key trends over the past year and to suggest options for improving Council and Working Group decision making on this issue. This report builds on the previous reports released in 2008, 2009 and 2010. 1 TABLE OF CONTENts 1. Summary and Our 2008 report also provided a base- 1.

    2010 NO.1 2 June 2010 SECURITY COUNCIL REPORT This report is available online and can be viewed together with Monthly Forecast Reports and Update Reports at cross-cutting REPORT www.securitycouncilreport.org Children and Armed Conflict For over ten years the impact of war on children has been a significant thematic focus for the Security Council. There is now much greater awareness of the issue and some evidence that the inclusion of child protection principles in Council decisions in specific cases is having some impact. However, the Council still encounters some resistance from some governments. And the difficulty of applying effective pressure on non-state actors who recruit child soldiers is a continuing challenge. This is our third Cross-Cutting Report on Children and Armed Conflict. It builds on two previous reports released in 2008 and 2009 which developed a groundbreaking methodology for reviewing, in a cross-cutting format, the effectiveness of Council thematic decisions on children and armed conflict decisions in individual country-specific situations. Our 2010 report details key trends over the past year and provides options for continued Council involvement. Table of Contents 1. Executive Summary examines the details of resolution 1882 1.

    Instability and Humanitarian Conditions in Chad Lauren Ploch Analyst in African Affairs July 1, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS22798 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Instability and Humanitarian Conditions in Chad Summary As the Sahel region weathers another year of drought and poor harvests, the political and security situation in Chad remains volatile, compounding a worsening humanitarian situation in which some 2 million Chadians are at risk of hunger. In the western Sahelian region of the country, the World Food Program warns that an estimated 60% of households, some 1.6 million people, are currently food insecure. Aid organizations warn that the situation is critical, particularly for remote areas in the west with little international aid presence, and that the upcoming rainy season is likely to further complicate the delivery of assistance. In the east, ethnic clashes, banditry, and fighting between government forces and rebel groups, both Chadian and Sudanese, have contributed to a fragile security situation. The instability has forced over 200,000 Chadians from their homes in recent years. In addition to the internal displacement, over 340,000 refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR) and Sudan’s Darfur region have fled violence in their own countries and now live in refugee camps in east and southern Chad, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). With Chadian security forces stretched thin, the threat of bandit attacks on the camps and on aid workers has escalated. The instability has also impacted some 700,000 Chadians whose communities have been disrupted by fighting and strained by the presence of the displaced.
