Schools must remain zones of peace.
Children deserve special protection.
Everywhere and always.

I welcome the Lebanese Parliament's decision formally to abolish the death penalty, and call on others to follow its lead.

In a country that has experienced profound loss and suffering, this decision represents a powerful commitment to the right to life.

In some conflict settings, armed groups exploit online platforms and social media to target and recruit children, adding a new dimension to an already dire crime. Protecting children from both grave violations and trafficking requires collective action both online and offline.

[ICAT @ICAT_News]

Forced into it. Punished for it.

Many victims of trafficking for forced criminality are punished. They must be protected instead.

Human rights belong to all of us. They are non-negotiable.

And they are fundamental to our hopes for a world at peace.
