These sources highlight the ongoing violations of children\u2019s rights in areas controlled by the SDF, and stress the urgent need to take international measures to stop these crimes.<\/p>\n
**A flagrant violation of children\u2019s rights:**<\/p>\n
The practices of the \u201cJoan Shurshakar\u201d organization are a flagrant violation of children\u2019s rights, guaranteed by international laws and conventions. Kidnapping children and recruiting them into its ranks is considered a war crime, threatens their future and exposes them to many physical and psychological dangers. Children who are abducted are forced to engage in military activities, exposing them to the risk of injury or death, and destroying their childhoods and futures.<\/p>\n
**Demands to stop violations:**<\/p>\n
Demands continue from the families of kidnapped children, and local and international human rights organizations, for the need to stop these violations and hold those responsible accountable. International organizations also call on the SDF to adhere to its agreements signed with the United Nations, which stipulate the recruitment of children, and to return all recruited children to their families. These demands come as part of ongoing efforts to pressure the SDF to stop these inhumane practices.<\/p>\n
**International responsibility:**<\/p>\n
The international community has a responsibility to protect the rights of children around the world, including in areas controlled by the SDF. Countries must pressure the SDF to stop its unacceptable practices, and take concrete steps to ensure the return of all kidnapped children to their families. These steps should include imposing sanctions on those responsible for these violations, and providing the necessary support to victims and their families.<\/p>\n
**Psychological and social effects:**<\/p>\n
The effects of child abduction are not limited to the physical aspect only, but extend to the psychological and social aspect. Children who are kidnapped suffer from deep psychological trauma that may last with them throughout their lives. These practices also lead to the disintegration of families and communities, and increase instability in the affected areas. There must be psychological and social support programs for kidnapped children and their families, to help them overcome this ordeal.<\/p>\n
The continued kidnapping of children by the \u201cJoan Shurchkar\u201d organization is a disgrace to humanity, and represents a major challenge to international law. All concerned parties, including the United Nations and human rights organizations, must unite efforts to stop these grave violations and ensure the protection of children\u2019s rights in all circumstances. Protecting children’s rights is not just a legal duty, but a moral and human responsibility that falls on everyone.
