Children's rights from the perspective of the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission

The importance of respecting children's rights in peace-building processes to achieve a sustainable peace raises the question of whether the UN Peacebuilding Commission, as the responsible organ for peace building affairs of the UN, has taken into account children' rights and the key role of this issue in the realization of peace? The purpose of this study is to clarify the need to pay more attention to children's rights in peace-building processes. The article has dealt with the presentation of a reasonable relationship between these two variables by utilizing previous studies and several United Nations reports and has analyzed the reports to investigate the commission performance. The data analysis indicates the attention of commission to some of the children’s rights. Of course, this attention is not due to considering the violation of children's rights as one of the causes of conflict, but because of the widespread effects of the conflict on them.
