In 2023, the United Nations verified a record 32,990 grave violations against 22,557 children in 26 conflict zones, highlighting the acute dangers children face in war.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child outlines fundamental rights for all children, including protection from violence, health services, and the right to play.
Frank Mischo emphasized that any involvement of children in armed groups is considered child labor and a serious violation of children's rights.
Mischo lamented that while the Convention on the Rights of the Child has numerous signatories, it is 'grave' that the US and Somalia have not ratified it.
