This press release highlights the alarming increase in violence against children in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where they are being forcibly recruited, armed, and killed. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has verified reports of children being summarily executed by M23 forces after they entered Bukavu last week. The UNHRC also reports that children are being used as combatants, a serious breach of international humanitarian and human rights law. World Vision condemns these heinous acts in the strongest terms and urges immediate international intervention to safeguard the lives and rights of children.
