Political dialogue made little progress until June 2007, when Security Council resolution 1706 was adopted; resolution requests protection of children be addressed and guaranteed ("Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in the Sudan [S/2007/520]") [ID 21333]

"In Darfur, the establishment of a peacekeeping operation has been the subject of ongoing discussions following the adoption of Security Council resolution 1706 (2006), which called for the replacement of African Union peacekeepers in Darfur with United Nations forces.

The political dialogue made little progress until June 2007 when the Government of the Sudan accepted the joint African Union-United Nations proposals on a hybrid operation in Darfur.

Resolution 1769 (2007) establishes the hybrid peacekeeping mission and, inter alia, requests that the protection of children be addressed in the implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement, asks for continued monitoring and reporting of grave violations against children, and requests a dialogue with parties to the conflict in relation to action plans to protect children."

Dialogue and action plans concerning violations of children's rights, particularly the recruitment of children: Darfur (July 2006 - July 2007) ("Report of the Secretary-General on children and armed conflict in the Sudan [S/2007/520]") [ID 21617]

"UNICEF has been in dialogue with the SLA (Minawi) on the need to end the recruitment of children and to release those associated with its forces.

On 11 June 2007, SLA (Minawi) and UNICEF signed an action plan, which was witnessed by the acting Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator. It is anticipated that the action plan will benefit about 1,800 children believed to be associated with SLA (Minawi). UNICEF agreed to provide services to the released children through a community-based reintegration programme. [...]

UNICEF and UNMIS have also approached other armed groups to discuss the release of children from their forces.

Talks with representatives of SLA (Wahid), SLA (Shafi) and SLA (Free Will) indicate that the groups are willing to collaborate with the international community towards the release of children in their ranks.

However, by the end of June 2007, no concrete commitments to release children had been made by those armed groups.

Similarly, AMIS carried out advocacy on children's issues through the Darfur Peace Agreement Ceasefire Commission.

However, the Commission has not yet effectively addressed violations by the parties."
