Evaluation of Barisan Revolusi Nasional Melayu-Patani (BRN)’s Implementation of the Deed of Commitment for the Protection of Children from the Effects of Armed Conflict

TERMS OF REFERENCE

I.                INTRODUCTION

In situations of armed conflict, the Geneva Call, as a neutral, impartial, and independent international humanitarian organization, endeavors to strengthen the respect of humanitarian norms and principles by armed groups and de facto authorities, to improve the protection of civilians. 

Geneva Call works in situations of armed conflict or armed violence where there are one or more armed groups and de facto authorities whose practices may have a direct impact on the protection of civilians. Geneva Call prioritizes engagements following the sensitivity of each conflict and conducts a needs analysis for each AGDA. We select the AGDAs we engage with based on which of them we believe has the greatest potential to create a positive humanitarian impact on the protection of civilians. Geneva Call focuses on several different thematic areas, as explained below, and uses a wide range of targeted awareness-raising and training tools in its engagement with AGDAs and communities. The objective of this humanitarian engagement is to encourage AGDAs to adapt their policies and practices to bring them into line with international humanitarian law, to ultimately better protect civilians from the negative effects of armed conflict.

There is a range of tools available to secure humanitarian commitments from AGDAs. The one most used by Geneva Call is the Deed of Commitment. The Deed of Commitment (DoC) is a formal commitment that AGDAs sign to ensure respect for international norms to protect communities. The signature of this commitment does not give any political or legal recognition to these actors. Geneva Call respects the principles of neutrality and impartiality in its work and strictly limits itself to increase compliance with international norms by armed non-State actors to ensure greater respect for communities in situations of armed conflict or armed violence.

Geneva Call monitors AGDAs according to the humanitarian commitments it has made. In all the Deeds of Commitment, there is a common monitoring provision, which requires signatory ANSAs to allow and cooperate in the monitoring and verification of their commitment by the Geneva Call.

II.               BACKGROUND

The armed non-State actor Barisan Revolusi Nasional Melayu-Patani (BRN), active in southern Thailand, adopted a unilateral declaration on the protection of children. Geneva Call has been engaging BRN for several years on humanitarian issues. Recently, dialogue has focused on planning for the concrete implementation of the Deed of Commitment for the Protection of Children from the Effects of armed conflict or armed violence.

In February 2020, the representatives of the military and political councils of BRN signed the Deed of Commitment for the Protection of Children from the Effects of armed conflict or armed violence, counter-signed by the Geneva Call, and the Chancellor of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. The Government of the Republic and Canton of Geneva reiterated its support for the efforts of the Geneva Call to protect children in armed conflict and was pleased to witness and serve as a guardian for this commitment. 

The BRN representative acknowledged that they undertook to sign the Deed of Commitment because of hard work between BRN and Geneva Call throughout the past years. He stressed that BRN is pleased and honored that the continuous humanitarian engagement between their movement and the Geneva Call for greater protection of Children reached a peak point with their adoption of this significant commitment. They are looking forward to strengthening their efforts to align their policies and practices with international norms to protect children by systematically carrying out their corresponding implementation plan with the technical advice of the Geneva Call.

III. OBJECTIVE
