UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has removed India from his annual report on the impact of armed conflict on children, citing measures taken by the Indian government to better protect them.
India had been included in the report since 2010, alongside other countries, including Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Lake Chad Basin, Nigeria, Pakistan and the Philippines.
Initially, India was included on the list due to allegations of the recruitment of young boys by armed groups in Jammu and Kashmir and the detainment of boys by the security forces on grounds of association with armed groups.
In 2022, the United Nations verified 27,180 grave violations, with 24,300 committed in 2022 and 2,880 committed earlier but verified during that year.
The report identified killing, maiming, recruitment and use, abduction, and detention of children as the most prevalent violations.
