UN urged to list Israel as violator of children's rights

The Palestine Liberation Organization has urged the United Nations to list Israel as a state that "violates children's rights" in its annual report on children and armed conflict.

In a letter written to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, PLO's Secretary General Saeb Erekat accused Israel of violating children's rights, including murdering and maiming of children, abduction of children, attacks against schools and hospitals, and denial of humanitarian access for children.
