    AbstractChildren have been affected by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for several generations. Recent reports state that they are subject to a number of grave violations, ranging from killing and maiming to detention and ill-treatment. The monitoring and reporting mechanism (MRM) for United Nations Security Council Resolution 1612 (2005), although not formally mandated in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt), has been successfully adapted and used by humanitarian and human rights agencies to support monitoring, reporting, and responding to violations against children. However, agencies in Israel and the oPt face a number of challenges in doing so, which are common in other countries where the MRM is employed. These include limited recognition and understanding of the issues, insufficient resources, and a difficult operational environment. Despite these challenges, local adaptation of the mechanism to reflect the specific situation of children and close collaboration have enabled these agencies to monitor and respond to violations against children in a more effective manner.© 2013 The Author(s).
