According to the UN, children continued to suffer disproportionately from armed conflicts in 2022, with 27,180 serious violations against children recorded during this period. This is mentioned in the 2022 UN report on children and armed conflicts.

The UN General Assembly passed a resolution in 1995 recognizing the events in Srebrenica as genocide and designating July 11 as the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Bosnian Muslim Genocide. More than 8,000 Bosnians were killed in the genocide, which began after Bosnian Serb forces attacked Srebrenica, a UN-designated "safe area". Their bodies were found in 570 different areas of the country and the search continues to this day.

The UN General Assembly adopted the resolution "Universal realization of the right of peoples to determine their own destiny", which Pakistan has been pushing for 40 years.
