UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations has put Russian military forces and proxy armed groups on its"list of shame" over the killing and maiming of hundreds of children in its war against Ukraine, according to a document seen by AFP on Thursday .
"I am particularly shocked by the high number of attacks on schools and hospitals and protected personnel, and by the high number of children killed and maimed attributed to the Russian forces and affiliated armed groups," Guterres said in the report, which was distributed to members of the Security Council on Thursday and seen by an AFP reporter.
"By adding Russia's forces to his list of shame, the Secretary-General is holding them to account for horrific violations against children," said Jo Becker, the group's advocacy director for children's rights. Guterres noted a"meaningful decrease in the number of children killed by Israeli forces, including by air strikes" last year compared to the previous report."Nevertheless, I remain deeply concerned by the number of children killed and maimed by Israeli forces during hostilities," Guterres added,"and through the use of live ammunition during law enforcement operations, and by the persistent lack of accountability for these violations.
