UNITED NATIONS, Aug 5 (APP): A Pakistani delegate has urged the international community to find effective ways to protect children in conflict zones and occupied territories where, he said, they continue to suffer as their rights are violated.

“In conflict zones and occupied territories, we are witnessing a deeply troubling breakdown in humanity and a diminishing respect for human life and dignity,” Haseeb Gohar, the Pakistani delegate, told the UN Security Council.
