The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is helping lead a pact being negotiated at the Paris Peace Forum, where countries, organizations and firms are pledging to prioritize children’s rights, France 24 reported.
The outlet said pledgers include more than 50 countries and 20 organizations working in nongovernmental and philanthropic fields, along with multinational companies. The commitments concern the policies and actions of those taking part.
UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell told France 24 that without care for children, it is “hard to imagine what a country looks like in the future.”
