The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) outlines comprehensive rights for children, including the right to education, health care, protection from violence, and participation in decisions affecting their lives. These rights are universal and inalienable, meaning they apply to all children everywhere. Palestinian children, like all children, are entitled to these rights. However, numerous reports and observations from international organizations highlight that Palestinian children often face significant challenges in realizing these rights. Some of the primary concerns include: 1. **Right to Education**: Many Palestinian children face disruptions in their education due to conflict, restricted movement, and lack of access to adequate school facilities. Schools in areas like Gaza and the West Bank are sometimes damaged or destroyed in conflicts, and there are also reports of harassment and violence affecting children's ability to attend school safely. 2. **Right to Health Care**: Access to health care is another significant issue, particularly in Gaza, where the health infrastructure has been severely affected by blockades and conflict. Children in these regions often face challenges in obtaining necessary medical treatments and care. 3. **Protection from Violence**: Palestinian children are frequently exposed to violence and instability. This includes not only the violence from ongoing conflicts but also from arrests and detentions, particularly in the West Bank. Reports indicate that many children experience psychological trauma as a result of their experiences. 4. **Right to Play and Leisure**: The UNCRC recognizes the right of children to play and leisure, which is crucial for their development. However, due to security concerns, restricted movement, and lack of facilities, Palestinian children often have limited opportunities for safe play and recreational activities. 5. **Right to Participation**: The ability of Palestinian children to participate in decisions affecting their lives is often limited by the broader political and social context. This can include restrictions on their freedom of expression and assembly. International organizations such as UNICEF, Human Rights Watch, and various UN bodies have documented these issues extensively. They often call for increased protection and support for Palestinian children to ensure their rights as outlined in the UNCRC are upheld. Addressing these challenges requires concerted efforts from the international community, governments, and organizations working on the ground to improve the conditions and ensure that the rights of Palestinian children are protected and promoted. #GazaGenocide

Dear world community! Volgograd regional public organization for the promotion of upbringing and education of the younger generation "Knowledge - strength and dignity" (http:// www. vroo-zsila.ru ) continues to develop an exclusive international project: "EARTH - PEACE, JUSTICE, HUMAN RIGHTS". The purpose of the project is to draw the UN's attention to the need to implement the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" (Adopted by Resolution 217 A (III) of the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948). "International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights" (Adopted and opened for signature, ratification and accession by UN General Assembly Resolution No. 2200 A (XXI) dated 12/16/1966). The preamble to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (hereinafter: the Covenant) states that the States parties to the present Covenant recognize that, according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ideal of a free human person enjoying civil and political freedom and freedom from fear and want can be realized only if such conditions are created conditions under which everyone can enjoy their economic, social and cultural rights, as well as their civil and political rights. It follows from the text of the Covenant that none of the articles or provisions of the Covenant establish a systemic relationship with the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" (Adopted by resolution 217 A (III) of the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948). Thus, the Covenant asserts the non-binding implementation of the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" (Adopted by resolution 217 A (III) The UN General Assembly of December 10, 1948). This fact proves that the Pact deprives the citizens of the world of protecting their rights in accordance with the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" (Adopted by resolution 217 A (III) of the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948). Thus, the Pact limits the ability of the international community to work together to protect human rights and end armed conflicts. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calls on the international community to act together (see file). UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres needs to specify regulatory and legislative acts that will ensure the full participation of the international community in the observance of civil and political rights in the world., Andrei Dadokin

Mature democracies are comfortable with CSO engagement. I have observed the running battles between some governments and accountability seeking CSOs. The tight #shrinkingspace, #abductions #clampdowns #onslaughts #restcrictions on movement, assembly and speech. It takes a well coordinated, and unfiltered CSO movement to galvanize for real change. Ruling governments must understand and promote the role of CSOs. We can learn from #Zambia's experience as a good practice for education reform. Since the new govt took office, it has created an enabling environment for #education policy #reform. Bringing together the wholesome #multistakeholder education ecosystem, the Zambian government is actively working with CSOs for great education results. Worth emulating. #NewSocialContractForEducation #EducationOutLoud #GeorgeHamusunga

Reflecting back on the rich discussion on partnering with the non-state sector to ensure access to education for children in low-resource settings at our recent event on the sidelines of the #EducationWorldForum. The event, Innovative Partnerships at Scale to Achieve SDG 4 in Africa, was an opportunity for key African ministers to come together and share the progress and challenges faced by their education systems in reaching all children with quality education. Panellist Hon. Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum (MP), Minister for Education of the Republic of Ghana shared: “Grateful to Global Schools Forum for such a wonderful opportunity bringing government and non-state actors together. The ravages of COVID-19 have left a trail of destruction and we are picking up the pieces across many countries across the world. In Ghana, we are doing everything possible to ensure that we improve learning outcomes and, in this situation, the role of non-state actors is so critical and important”. Minister Adutwum acknowledged Ghana’s track record in being an early adopter of partnering with the non-state sector, and that African nations need to “step up” and see “children as a true investment in [achieving] socio-economic transformation” in their societies if they wish to achieve long-term development objectives. His comments reiterated how non-state partnerships have been integral to ensuring every child has access to an education and outlined how this “transformation is happening”. The Minister remarked on the benefits of measuring and tracking data on non-state providers and being able to see the human capital gains made from investing in non-state collaboration.
