Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, warned on World Children\u2019s Day that children\u2019s rights worldwide are under pressure, and crises and the heavy burdens of life threaten their future. He emphasized the urgent need to address children\u2019s needs and protect their rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n
