BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Palestinian Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour has sent an open letter to the UN Security Council demanding that Israel be brought to justice over violations and abuse against Palestinian children.
"Every single day and in countless ways, Palestinian children are victims of Israeli human rights violations, with no child considered too young to be spared the oppression being meted out by the Israeli occupying forces and extremist settlers," Dr. Mansour wrote in the letter on Friday, which was made public late Saturday.
He added: "These crimes committed against our children and intolerable and unacceptable," and noted that they were in violation of international humanitarian and human rights law.
Mansour called on "the international community to uphold its responsibilities and provide the necessary assistance and protection to Palestinian children and hold accountable the violators of international law."
