Rising Global Support for Safe Schools

(Human Rights Watch) – Three years ago today, representatives from countries from around the globe came together in Oslo to declare their support for the protection of students, teachers, schools, and universities during times of war. Three years later, an incredible 75 countries have joined the Safe Schools Declaration. Support for the declaration has come from the highest levels of the United Nations, notably the UN secretary-general, Antonio Guterres; the human rights chief, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein; and the special representative for children and armed conflict, Virginia Gamba.
