launch Accountability Hub

On June 9, Save the Children (SCNL) launches the Accountability Hub from the Peace Palace in The Hague at the heart of international law. As part of the Global Diplomacy and Engagement network, alongside hubs in New York, Geneva, and Brussels, SCNL occupies a unique position: we operate at the center of the community of international legal mechanisms that determine the protection of children in conflict. The core of our ambition: placing children's rights at the center of the law of war.

Children are far more vulnerable than adults in times of war. They are physically smaller, are thrown farther away in an explosion, have less body fluid, and their organs and brains are not yet fully developed. That is why we want children to become the standard in the laws of war, so they can receive the protection they need more quickly.
