U n NICEF for the 5-year-old case: Strengthening child protection system, emergency

In response, U n NICEF points out that no child should experience violence, fear, or neglect, especially within his home, which should be a place of security, care, and protection.

“Violence against children is a serious violation of their rights and has long-term physical and psychological consequences”, the Klankosova.tv broadcast.

In response, this case reportedly reflects a serious violation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (KDF), which guarantees the protection of every child from violence, abuse and neglect, as well as the right to survival, development and dignity.

“KDF is directly applicable in the Kosovo Constitution, which gives international human rights instruments priority over local laws. This sets out a clear legal obligation on all institutions to prevent, identify and effectively respond to cases of violence and neglect against children”.

And others, U n NICEF says this case shows the urgent need to strengthen child protection systems to ensure early identification of children at risk of health, education and social services, as well as to provide prompt support to vulnerable families to prevent violence.

The co-ordinated management of municipal-level cases, full functioning services of child protection, and sustainable financing are essential to preventing and effectively responding to child violence. No child should suffer in silence. Strong systems save lives, and this must be a turning point for action. U n The NICEF in Kosovo requires authorities to conduct a thorough investigation, ensure accountability and provide immediate protection and long-term child care. Communities, institutions and families should remain vigilant and report any signs of violence or negligence”. /Periscope
