- Conduct a thorough, prompt and independent investigation into the deaths of the two children and those who were injured.
- Ensure that educational services are not interrupted, except in areas of high conflict where there is a real risk to the integrity of students, and seek ways to ensure continuity, for example through remote education.
- Guarantee basic health care services for children, especially for emergency interventions and to those who had already scheduled consultations or interventions.
- Promptly provide humanitarian assistance prioritizing those who are stranded on the roads as a result of the blockades.
- Strengthen the complaint mechanism making it child-friendly and accessible for children who have suffered any form of violence, excessive use of force or arbitrary detention during public demonstrations.
