UN Security Council condemns digital violence against children in conflicts
The United Nations Security Council has adopted a historic resolution aimed at reducing digital violence against children in armed conflicts. The resolution calls for the prevention of using social media platforms, online gaming platforms, and messaging services for the recruitment of children. It stipulates that conflict-affected states must take national measures to protect children, including establishing mechanisms for reporting violations and providing support to victims. Additionally, it emphasizes investing in remote education and strengthening digital capabilities. This initiative comes amid a record-high increase in violations of children's rights, as the United Nations recorded in 2025 more than 38,558 serious violations affecting 24,174 children in armed conflicts, with some countries, including the United States, Russia, and China, expressing reservations.
