(Human Rights Watch) – Tomorrow, February 10, Belgium will host an international conference at the Egmont Palace on protecting children during times of war. Queen Mathilde will be there. Deputy Prime Minister Didier Reynders will be there. Various European Union, NATO, and United Nations dignitaries be there. But will anyone mention that Belgium is at risk of falling behind in a crucial element of protecting children during times of armed conflict: protecting them while they’re at school?
