The International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression is observed to highlight the horrific fact that there are still war crimes carried out against children at sites of conflict all over the world.

This day was commemorated to acknowledge the pain suffered by Palestinian and Lebanese children who were victims of Israel’s aggression in 1982, and it is a shame that the same conditions prevail there even now, decades later.

We must work to protect children everywhere from conflict-related crimes and all other forms of physical, mental, and emotional abuse.

Stop attacks on children!
