The head of UN human rights reports that in 2023, the number of children murdered in violent conflicts quadrupled.

During his worldwide briefing to the 56th session of the Human Rights Council on Tuesday, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk claimed in a statement that the number of children murdered in international armed conflicts increased in 2023.
