Every year on June 4th, the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression acknowledges the pain that children around the world suffer. Many of these children are victims of physical, mental, and emotional abuse. It’s also a day that the UN affirms its duty to protect children’s rights.
On August 19, 1982, the UN General Assembly declared that June 4th would be observed as the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. The UN made the decision during an emergency special session on the question of Palestine. The day originally focused on the children affected by the 1982 Lebanon War. The day also focused on Palestinian children that were victims of other conflicts in the Middle East.
Today, the day focuses on children throughout the world who are innocent victims of violence and abuse.
