The International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression is observed annually on June 4. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1982 in response to numerous instances of suffering experienced by Palestinian and Lebanese children during the armed conflict in the Middle East.

Objectives of the Day
This day aims to:

* Draw the attention of the international community to the suffering of children who have become victims of physical, mental, and emotional abuse.
* Emphasize the importance of upholding children's rights in all situations, especially during armed conflicts.
* Remind states of their obligations to protect children in accordance with international law.

How It Is Observed
Events dedicated to this day include:

* Educational programs and school activities aimed at raising awareness about children's rights.
* Discussions, round tables, and conferences organized by human rights organizations.
* Publications and campaigns in the media and social networks to disseminate information.

Significance of the Date
Although the day was established in the context of the Middle East conflict, its significance is universal. It serves as a reminder that children around the world—in Syria, Ukraine, Sudan, Yemen, and other regions—continue to suffer from wars, terrorism, and other forms of violence.

Conclusion
The International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression is an occasion to reflect on the protection of the most vulnerable segment of the population—children—and to intensify efforts toward peace and justice.
