Today, with @UNICEF, we brought attention to the humanitarian situation facing children in the #Sahel through our #ChildrenInCrisis series.
The message was clear: protect humanitarian space, strengthen protection, build resilience and local capacities, and close funding gaps.

81 years ago, 50 nations came together to sign the UN Charter, which outlined a path towards a more peaceful & just world.
The EU was founded on the same ideals. Today & every day, we remain committed to multilateralism & a UN that delivers on the Charter's mandate. #CharterDay

The EU fully supports SRSG Frazier's work & is alarmed by the latest SG report on Children & Armed Conflict. Children face unique vulnerabilities, incl risks from new technologies. We must protect them. We urge all conflict parties to stop violations now!
