UN committee condemns Israel for serious violations of the global treaty protecting children's rights, reports “Reuters”, quoted by News.bg
The report noted that Israeli military actions since October 7 had “disastrous“ impact on children.
„The committee strongly condemns the grave violations of rights under the convention in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including the significant loss of life as a result of Israel's military actions,” the four-member committee said in the document, referring to the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
