While non-State armed groups were responsible for 52% of the grave violations overall, Government forces were the main perpetrator particularly in the killing and maiming of children, attacks on schools and hospitals, and the denial of humanitarian access. In 2022, the number of verified grave violations affecting children in the situation of the CAAC agenda, including those lately added namely Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Ukraine reached 27,180. The real number is certainly considerably higher, and this realization hints at a much larger and profoundly distressing human tragedy. However, this is sadly only the verifiable tip of the iceberg. Their schools and hospitals were damaged or destroyed, and access to aid for children has been repeatedly denied. The UN Secretary-General Annual Report on Children and Armed Conflict revealed the grim reality faced by these children who were recruited or used, killed, or maimed, raped or victims of sexual violence, or abducted.
Blatant and systematic disregard for international humanitarian law and international human rights law continues to severely impact the protection of children. New York, 27 June 2023 – As protracted and new armed conflicts have continued to rage in 2022, the number of children affected by hostilities has remained shockingly high at almost 19,000 children in the 24 situations and one regional monitoring arrangement on the Children and Armed Conflict Agenda, according to a new report published today.
