Pope Francis convened a summit to demand the protection of children from war, forced labor, trafficking, and exploitation, despite the Catholic Church's poor record in protecting them from sexual abuse. Queen Rania of Jordan highlighted the lack of enforcement of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, particularly in warzones. Italian Sen. Liliana Segre, a Holocaust survivor, spoke about the denial of education during the fascist era. Pope Francis listed the plights facing today's children, including conflicts, homelessness, trafficking, and compulsory marriage. The summit aimed to uphold children's fundamental rights.
