Statement in support of all children suffering from Crimes Against Humanity

The European Pediatric Surgeons’ Association (EUPSA) and the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) are independent scientific association that promote the health and welfare of children internationally.

EUPSA and APSA condemm the recent attacks against hospitals and schools that affect primarily children.The deliberate targeting of innocent civilians, especially children, is an affront to humanity. Hospitals, which should be sanctuary for healing and care, have been subjected to violence and destruction. We stand in solidarity with the medical staff, patients, and their families who have endured unimaginable suffering.

Crimes against humanity continue unabated across the globe, however, there has yet to be a treaty regulating their prevention and punishment. We call upon all parties involved to respect the sanctity of civilian spaces, including hospitals, schools, and residential areas.

On behalf of all our over 2000 members , we strongly emphasize the safety and well-being of children.

We express our support for a global convention on crimes against humanity independent of geographic regions, ethnic origin and religion and urge states to utilize the 2024 April Resumed Session of the UN’s Sixth Committee
