It is the duty of states and governments first…
“Every war is a war against children.”
When war breaks out, children are the weakest link in it. Hostilities affect them; they fall into countless dangers and are deprived of the most beautiful childhood years. Hence, protecting children is a critical task, as they are, above all, the present and the future.
Over one in ten children worldwide are affected by armed conflict today, each searching for ways to cope with the chaos of war. Despite the protection the law guarantees them, dangers still surround them from every side. They are recruited and exploited by armed forces and armed groups, separated from their families, forced from their homes, denied education, killed, maimed, or sexually assaulted.
