UN blacklists Russian forces for killing children and attacking schools in

The United Nations placed Russian forces on its annual blacklist of countries that violate the rights of children in the conflict for killing boys and girls and attacking schools and hospitals in Ukraine, according to a new report first seen Thursday by The Associated Press.

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in his report to the Security Council that he is "horrified" by the high number of "serious violations" against children in Ukraine in 2022, "shocked" by the number of attacks on schools and hospitals, "disturbed" by the detention of children and "concerned" that some Ukrainian children have been transferred to Russia.

In the wide-ranging report, the secretary-general said that last year children were disproportionately affected by conflict. He said the UN verified serious violations against 13,469 children, including 2,985 who were killed, in 24 countries and one region.

The UN chief did not blacklist Israel for grave violations against 1,139 Palestinian children, including 54 killings last year - as supporters had hoped./ CNA
