We are extremely concerned over the ongoing tragic situation and grave violations against Syrian children in the camps of neighbouring countries. Despite the fact that all actors in the international, regional and non-governmental organizations, as well as the Special Representatives of the Secretary-General, are aware of the blatant violations that our children face in these camps, as documented in their reports, we find it extremely bizarre that there is not a single reference to any such violations, including sexual violence, forced marriage, lack of access to education, the separation of family members in several camps, the violation of the rights to work and freedom of movement even from camp to camp, let alone the militarization of many of those camps and the recruitment of a large number of Syrian children by armed terrorist groups, whether under supervision or by the host Governments turning a blind eye to some of these cases. We are eseriously concerned that the United Nations has yet to take any tangible measure with the Governments of neighbouring countries to address this dangerous phenomenon.
