Of these, 22,495 violations were directly against children, when the rest of the cases were related to the infrastructure used by children – such as schools and humanitarian assistance centers.
Virginia Gamba, general secretary of the United Nations, said, “22,495 innocent children who had to shoot at the age of study or ball and bomb – we must be enough to keep wake up overnight,” said Virginia Gamba, general secretary of the United Nations.
This report only presented the cases that have been independently verified by the United Nations, which means that the actual violation and the number of affected children may be much higher.
‘Children should not be victims of war’
The report explained the reason for increasing violations, random attacks in urban areas, ignoring peace agreements and deepening the worldwide human crisis.
Virginia Gamba said, “When we let the children take away their childhood, we not only fail to protect them, but also remove the opportunity to survive with dignity, education and expectations from them.”
In addition to broad growth, the number of children victims of multiple serious violations has increased by 17 percent.
The maximum cases (8,554) were recorded in Israel and Palestinian regions – more than twice the case of the Congo Democratic Republic (DRC).
Negligence of international law
According to the report, private parties were considered responsible for crimes such as crimes such as the government parties, disabled, disabled the government parties, attacking schools and hospitals and rejecting humanitarian assistance.
Virginia Gamba said, “Instead of receiving international recognition of special protection for children, government and armed groups are completely ignoring the law under which a person below 18 is considered as a child.”
The report provided a list of eight countries, whose government military forces violated international law and committed serious crimes against children. These include Israel, Russia, Myanmar, Syria, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia and Congo Democratic Republic (DRC).
Bell
In 2024, 16,482 children associated with the first armed group were provided to the protection of children or were assisted in re -integrating their society. Nevertheless, the number of violations against children still remains extra.
The UN general secretary has called for all member states to ensure children’s rights and special protection, respect international law and to expand services for children affected by conflict.
Virginia Gamba Revised the request that this increase in serious violation is a ‘alert bell’. The international community needs to understand that lasting peace can never be established due to indifference to this national crime.
He said, “We have an alternative in front of us, which kind of people we will decide – or are we going to turn our faces? Today and now we all have the responsibility to take action. Don’t post it after tomorrow or tomorrow.”
