A/HRC/21/38 E. Reparations 80. Member States should put in place administrative reparation programmes to address the needs of children affected by conflict, and should also include reparations in the mandates of international, hybrid and national courts. 81. The relevant courts should include reparations to children affected by conflict in their judgements and sentencing hearings, providing victims with assistance in the form of physical rehabilitation, education, livelihood skills and psychosocial support. 82. Reparation programmes should be designed to meet the particular needs of children and to encourage reconciliation within communities. Governments and donors play a central role in providing sustainable resources to make such initiatives a success. F. Prevention of child recruitment 83. Member States should enact the appropriate legislation to criminalize the recruitment of children and investigate cases of recruitment and prosecute adult recruiters in a timely and systematic manner. 84. Member States should accord priority to funding the strengthening of community-based child protection mechanisms as a critical measure in preventing child recruitment and linking community-based protection systems to formal child protection systems. Children and young people should be provided with alternatives through high-quality education, both formal and non-formal, and national programmes for job creation and income generation for young people should be the main priorities in national prevention strategies. 18
