Jordan voices support to efforts to protect children in armed conflicts
AMMONNEWS - Jordan stressed its support to international efforts to protect children and put an end to abuses that they have to suffer in situations of armed conflicts.
Jordan's permanent representative to the UN Dina Qawar said in a statement before the Security Council last night that, Jordan was surrounded by states where children were being maltreated, regretting in particular international inaction on ending violence in Syria.
She reiterated Jordan's stance which calls for a political solution to the crisis in Syria that ends violence and bloodshed.
On Iraq, Qawar called on all communities to unite in an inclusive arrangement to end the violence and called for the formation of an Iraqi government that fulfils the aspirations of the Iraqi people. She avowed that Islamist extremist groups had hijacked and distorted Islam there.
On the Palestinian territories, she said the recent Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip claimed the lives of more than 491 Palestinian children and injured 3,000 others.
Qawar said that the Israeli blockade on Gaza violated the international law, human rights and affected children to a great extent.
Jordan, she added, would continue to support efforts to end violence against children in armed conflicts.
