GENEVA (AN) — The brutality of Syria's civil war has stolen the childhoods of 5 million boys and girls displaced by fighting including many killed or subjected to grave violations of their rights, U.N.-backed investigators reported on Thursday.
The report is the first by the U.N.'s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria to examine how children have been killed, maimed, tortured, sexually abused and forced into military training during almost nine years of war.
