The present fifth report on the protection of civilians in armed conflict is
submitted pursuant to the request of the President of the Security Council containedin his statement of 14 December 2004 (S/PRST/2004/46). 2. Five years ago, in April 2000, the Security Council adopted its latest resolution on the protection of civilians in armed conflict (resolution 1296 (2000)), having adopted its very first resolution on this topic (resolution 1265 (1999)) seven months earlier. The Council’s adoption of these resolutions marked a significant milestone, reflecting the international community’s growing commitment to better address the tragic plight of civilians trapped in situations of armed conflict. The fact that five years have elapsed since then requires that we take stock of developments, assess the collective achievements that have been made and reflect on those areas where action remains inadequate. The present report seeks to identify the emerging trends that affect the lives of civilians in conflict and the areas where relevant Security Council resolutions have had an impact on the lives of those forced to endure the hardships and tragedies of armed conflict. In so doing, the report seeks to identify measures and actions that the Security Council can take to strengthen and improve the response to the protection needs of civilians in armed conflict. The report provides a review of the main events of the past five years that have shaped the environment of protection.
