Lebanon’s delegation to the United Nations stated: Considering the extreme vulnerability of children, the United Nations General Assembly in 1974 declared issued the Protection of Women and Children in Emergencies and Armed Conflicts, which includes a ban on attacks on civilians.

According to the complaint, Lebanon asks the Security Council that Israel force it to respect international humanitarian law and children’s rights and refrain from targeting civilians. Also, the Security Council must condemn the direct, deliberate and repeated targeting of civilians by Israel and try to ensure that this regime does not escape punishment for these war crimes.
