In many parts of the world however, political systems as of now present a different view of human rights. To what extent are they challenging the universality of human rights and what would be the best way forward to the realization of human rights worldwide?W. van Genugtenhttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/436501http://www.search4dev.nl/record/436501This is the annual report of the Netherlands Red Cross for the year 2011. The Netherlands Red Cross aims to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found, to protect lives and health and to ensure respect for the human being. Special attention goes to those who are most vulnerable: those who, without our help, would not or only barely survive, or whose health would be at risk. The Netherlands Red Cross does not take sides in hostilities and will always advocate on behalf of the victims.The Netherlands Red Crosshttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/436500http://www.search4dev.nl/record/436500This report explores the situation of children in Eastern DRC which is currently deteriorating. With the capture of the provincial capital of Goma and a fresh outbreak of violence, the situation for the population in the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, particularly children, has dramatically worsened. Throughout this long-running conflict, children have been victims of gross human rights violations, including killings, rapes and serious abuse. The report cites instances of torture, sexual abuse, raids on schools, abduction and recruitment, concluding that children are victims of all six serious violations of children's rights, as defined by the United Nations in 2005. In addition, the resurgence of the conflict and the overthrowing of Goma have caused another massive displacement of civilians. Already vulnerable children may now become separated from their families and be left with no access to humanitarian assistance.War Childhttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/436499http://www.search4dev.nl/record/436499This report is about the structural and deliberate violation of childrens rights during the conflict in Syria.E.

These are children who have to fight as soldiers, perform espionage or reconnaissance activities,and provide sexual services to army commanders. This report provides insight into the situation in which they live and addresses the question of how and why they became child soldiers. The reasons why they become involved in armed conflict give insight into the possibilities for change, because no matter how persistent the problem of recruitment of child soldiers is, there is something we can do to break this spiral of violence. It is possible to create a new future for these children and everyone can play a part, including in the Netherlands. This report focuses on the plight of child soldiers in Colombia, which has been embroiled in a civil war for more than 50 yearsW.

In this study, a child-friendly monitoring and evaluation toolkit was used to measure the effectiveness of War Child’s creative life skills method, I DEAL, for groups of children and young people in conflict-affected areas. I DEAL provides theme-based group sessions to improve children and young people’s psychosocial well-being through training in life skills, using a combination of creative and participatory techniques such as role-play, drawing, games and group discussions. The intervention consists of six I DEAL modules that address psychosocial themes such as identity, dealing with emotions, peer relations, relationships with adults, conflict and peace, and the future. Through I DEAL, War Child seeks to enhance the resilience of children and young people and improve their coping skills to better ‘deal’ with the challenges of every day life.L. ClaessensD. de Graaff
