The Ombudsman of Kosovo, Hilmi Jashari, in a press statement on Monday stressed that the increase in acts of violence in schools should be of concern to state institutions responsible for enduring respect for the rights of children, whith special emphasis on physical integrity and their human dignity.  Jashari said the violence remains unacceptable, intolerable and contrary to the legislation in force. Kosovo’s Constitution stipulates that every child has the right to be protected from violence, abuse and exploitation. “The Convention on the Rights of Children requires that children be protected from all forms of violence and sets obligations for states to take appropriate action in this regard,” the statement said.
