Those who target schools, children with impunity must be held into account: India tells UNSC

India has called for accountability at the UN Security Council for those who target schools and children with impunity. The call comes in response to the UN's latest report on "Children and armed conflict," which highlighted "shocking levels" of violations against children in armed conflict during 2025.

The Indian delegation stressed that attacks on schools and children are unacceptable and must be met with consequences. The statement underscored the international community's responsibility to ensure that perpetrators of such heinous acts are brought to justice.

This stance reflects India's commitment to protecting vulnerable populations during conflicts and advocating for stronger international mechanisms to safeguard children's rights in war-torn regions. The emphasis is on holding perpetrators accountable to deter future violations and ensure a safer environment for children affected by armed conflict.
