Consultations interrégionales
La coopération avec les organisations et institutions régionales est une pierre angulaire de la stratégie de la Représentante spéciale visant à accélérer les progrès en faveur de la protection des enfants contre la violence. Les organisations et institutions régionales sont des alliés stratégiques, et leur coopération avec la Représentante spéciale a contribué à placer la violence contre les enfants au cœur des programmes politiques au niveau régional ; à amener les États à respecter davantage leur obligation de rendre des comptes ; et à soutenir les mesures nationales de mise en œuvre.
La Représentante spéciale a organisé des consultations de haut niveau avec des partenaires régionaux en Amérique centrale et du Sud, dans les Caraïbes, en Asie du Sud, dans le Pacifique, en Europe et dans la région arabe. Six rapports de suivi régionaux ont été élaborés et des réunions d’examen périodique ont été tenues pour maintenir et accélérer les progrès.
En conséquence, des engagements politiques et des plans de mise en œuvre ont été adoptés au niveau régional, et une nouvelle série de plans d’action régionaux visant à combattre la violence contre les enfants est en cours d’élaboration en conformité avec le Programme 2030. Ces mesures ont à leur tour permis de renforcer les législations nationales et les politiques publiques, compiler les données et les études et promouvoir des campagnes de soutien.
Pour renforcer davantage ce processus, la Représentante spéciale organise chaque année une table ronde interrégionale de haut niveau avec des organisations et des institutions régionales. Ce forum est devenu un mécanisme stratégique au sein de l’Organisation des Nations Unies permettant d’engager le dialogue sur les politiques, d’échanger des connaissances et de bonnes pratiques, de favoriser le partage des expériences, de renforcer les synergies, de repérer les tendances et les défis urgents, et de conjuguer les efforts pour renforcer la sécurité et la protection des enfants.
