for association with armed groups,388 as well as independent human rights monitors. • Family unity and separation of adults and children: Generally, except for cases in which families are accommodated as family units, children must be held in quarters separate from those of adults.389 While international humanitarian law does not exclude the detention of children, it emphasizes that they must be lodged together with their parents if they were interned during an international armed conflict in accordance with the Fourth Geneva Convention.390 Customary international humanitarian law also requires that family life be respected as far as possible (see chapter 3 on preserving family unity).391 If not with parents, children should be kept in a juvenile facility separate from adults. When a child is detained, States shall notify the parents and family of any detained child about the child’s whereabouts and provide information to the child about the whereabouts of his or her family members and facilitate family contact. Establishment of family links is critical not only to supporting family unity and to the rehabilitation and reintegration of the child, but also to reducing fear and anxiety related to missing family members. • Registration: At the time of admission, the number and personal details of children being admitted should be recorded, including names and ages.392 All information relating to a child should be kept confidential and used only in a manner consistent with the best interests of the child.393 Examples from Morocco and Thailand—Birth registration In Morocco, children born in prison are registered. Information about the address of the prison or the fact that the child was born in prison is not included in the registration documents. Similarly, in Thailand, even if a child is born in a prison, it is prohibited to record the prison as the birth location. • Adequate standard of living: Adequate and timely meals, a healthy environment and regular exercise opportunities should be provided.394 There should be a regular supply of water available for the personal care of children and mothers.395 • Health care: Each child should undergo health screening, preferably by a child health specialist. Suitable health care equivalent to that available in the community should be 388 Security Council resolution 2427 (2018), para. 20. 389 ICRC, Customary International Humanitarian Law database, rule 120 on accommodation for children deprived of their liberty, available at https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/ customary-ihl/eng/docs/v1_rul_rule120. 390 Geneva Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (1949), art. 82; ICRC, Customary International Humanitarian Law database, rule 120 on accommodation for children deprived of their liberty, available at https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/docs/ v1_rul_rule120. 391 ICRC, Customary International Humanitarian Law database, rule 105 on respect for family life, available at https:// ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/docs/v1_rul_ rule105. 86. 392 The Bangkok Rules (2010), rule 3(1). 393 Ibid., rule 3(2). 394 Ibid., rule 48(1). 395 Ibid., rule 5.
