The ongoing civil war in Syria has destroyed countless lives, families, and communities, and perpetrators have shown a disturbing disregard for international human rights and international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n
Attacks on schools are some oft-overlooked aspects of these violations, and the wanton destruction of schools has had an enormous impact on students, teachers, parents, and the fabric of Syrian society.<\/p>\n
In the face of such violence, the international community must come together and do its part to denounce the massive violations of human rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>
