The new challenge : emergency and crisis situations
	The end of the Cold War did not bring an end to tension and conflict. Numerous conflicts have arisen within, as well as between nations. Many states are in a fragile situation and at risk of future possible conflict, especially at times of socio-economic hardship. Children in particular are victims of such conflicts, with schools serving as military targets or barracks, children and adolescents recruited as combatants, girls raped, teachers sometimes assassinated, and education systems partially or completely disrupted.
