Event: Strengthening International Accountability for Violence against Children in Armed Conflicts

Our recent side event at the Human Rights Council 55, "Strengthening International Accountability regarding Violence against Children in Armed Conflicts," held on 15th March, was a powerful gathering aimed at championing the rights of children affected by conflict. We were privileged to welcome 6 distinguished panellists who brought invaluable insights to the table: 🔹 H.E. Amb. Marc Pecsteen de Buytswerve (Belgium), Group of Friends on Children and Armed Conflict 🔹 Prof. Virginia Gamba, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Children and Armed Conflict 🔹 Dr. Najat Maalla M’jid, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children 🔹 Ms. Aurélie Lamazière, Senior Programme Manager, Save the Children 🔹 Prof. Ann Skelton, Chairperson of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child 🔹 Mr. Khaled Quzmar, Defence for Children International President Our aim was clear: to bolster global commitment to safeguarding children in conflict zones and ensuring accountability for those perpetrating grave violations. The discussions were instrumental in shaping a more comprehensive and effective international response to this critical issue. Let's stand together in solidarity to protect children and uphold their rights, no matter the circumstances
