The Security Council met on 26 June 2024 in an open debate to discuss the theme "How to advance our collective norms towards protecting children and ending all grave violations" and consider the latest report of the Secretary-General (document S/2024/384). The Council was briefed by Virginia Gamba, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict. She mentioned that the conflict in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in Gaza, has led to a 155% increase of grave violations against children.
In his annual report, UN Secretary-General António Guterres wrote: “I am appalled by the dramatic increase and unprecedented scale and intensity of grave violations against children in the Gaza Strip, Israel and the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, despite my repeated calls for parties to implement measures to end grave violations.”
