Child in a war zone
The 2014 annual Report of the United Nations Secretary-General on children and armed conflict documents the increase in mass abductions of children and other civilians.“Abductions have emerged as a rising and alarming trend that are being used in many new ways, including as a tactic to terrorize or target particular ethnic groups or religious communities,” said the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Leila Zerrougui.
