    Study Notes

    Humanitarian Issues Impacting Children

    • Attacks on schools or hospitals are grave violations of children's rights, endangering their safety and disrupting essential services like education and healthcare.
    • International humanitarian law protects schools and hospitals from attacks, emphasizing their importance for child welfare.
