CHILDREN'S RIGHTS MUST BE RESPECTED DURING ARMED CONFLICTS.

As we often listen on the news there are nowadays many countries in war. Even if it is a war,
all the rights should be respected. However, from my point of view, the rights of the children
are not guaranteed, and this should not be like this.

Firstly, children in countries at war must be able to enjoy the same tights as other kids.
Everyone deserves an education, health, the right to welfare, have access to information...
Many years ago, the governments established all these rights to be followed in all situations
and even if it is in an exceptional and uncommon one this is not a reason to take off their
entitlements. It’s true that any war inflicts any right for itself, but, to my mind, this should
change.
Secondly, due to the war, the rights of children are not respected. In those situations, the kids
cannot have access to information, hospitals are mainly filled with soldiers wounded in war so
they cannot have access to health as much as they would like. In addition, this causes schools
to close and therefore they cannot access to education either. Most of the kids become
illiterate and they are easily manipulable because they are not critical. For the protection of
the country, they limit their possibilities closing all the facilities, but this also mean, that in the
future, the country won’t improve prosper because they will not have enough people who had
received an education.

In conclusion, even if nowadays children’s rights are not respected in a war, this cannot be like
this any longer. They must be able to live life as other kids and have the same opportunities as
them.
