Kids are victims of every act understood as a crime against humanity: murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation/forcible transfer, imprisonment, torture, sexual violence (rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization), enforced disappearance, apartheid.

The world is moving towards an international treaty on crimes against humanity. A huge opportunity for governments to enhance justice for children. IICI endorses the proposals in a new paper released today: cahtreatynow.org/justice-for-...
