Children experienced the highest number of \u201cgrave violations\u201d in conflicts verified by the United Nations in 2022, with the conflicts between Israeli and Palestinians and in Congo and Somalia putting the most youngsters in peril, the UN children\u2019s agency said Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>UNICEF also expressed particular concern about their plight in Haiti, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Ukraine, where Russia has been put on the UN blacklist. \u201cGrave violations\u201d include the recruitment and use of children by combatants, killings and injuries, sexual violence, abductions, and attacks on schools and hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>Omar Abdi, UNICEF\u2019s deputy executive director, told the UN Security Council the more than 27,000 grave violations, up from 24,000 the previous year, are the highest number verified by the UN since its monitoring reports began in 2005. The number of conflict situations \u201cof concern\u201d was also the highest \u2014 at 26.<\/p>\n<p>Since the report, Abdi said, a serious conflict has erupted in Sudan where over 1 million children have been displaced by violent conflict and the UN has received reports that hundreds have been killed and injured. He also said UNICEF expects an increase in Palestinian children affected due to recent escalations in violence.<\/p>\n<p>Government and parties to conflicts are not fulfilling their commitments to protect children, and \u201cmeaningful and unambiguous action\u201d is needed, the UNICEF official said. In his yearly report to the council late last month, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres put Russian forces on the UN&#8217;s annual blacklist of countries that violate children\u2019s rights in conflict for killing boys and girls and attacking schools and hospitals in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>But the UN chief did not put Israel on the blacklist for grave violations against 1,139 Palestinian children, including 54 killings last year \u2014 as supporters had hoped \u2013 saying the UN welcomed its \u201cidentification of practical measures including those proposed by the UN\u201d to protect children. The UN special envoy for children in armed conflict, Virginia Gamba, told the council that the 27,180 grave violations in 2022 were carried out against 18,890 children and included 8,620 who were killed or injured, 7,622 who were recruited or used by governments or armed groups in conflicts, 3,985 who were abducted, 1,165, almost all of them girls, who were raped, forced into marriage or sexual slavery or sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations also verified attacks on 1,163 schools and 647 hospitals, a 112% increase from 2021, she said. While armed groups were responsible for 50% of grave violations, Gamba underscored that governments were the main perpetrators of the killing and maiming of children and of attacks on schools and hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>Gamba said, for example, last year three girls were gang raped in South Sudan \u201cduring five days of terror,\u201d many boys were killed by an explosive device at a school in Afghanistan, a 14-year-old girl in Myanmar was abducted and burned alive, and an airstrike in Ukraine left a girl with amputated limbs. \u201cWe must do more to prevent and protect our children from the ravages of armed conflict,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2023\/07\/06\/un-records-the-highest-number-of-grave-violations-against-children-in-conflicts\">Euronews<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/un-records-the-highest-number-of-grave-violations-against-children-in-conflicts\/\">UN records the highest number of \u2018grave violations\u2019 against children in conflicts<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1300,10647,10648,1824,402,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-115363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-children","tag-grave-violation","tag-highest","tag-record","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115363\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
