    Former BBC war correspondent and Independent MP, Martin Bell was appointed UNICEF Ambassador for Humanitarian Emergencies in 2001.

    In his role as Ambassador Martin continues to cover some of the world’s most difficult and dangerous news stories, highlighting the plight of children affected by conflict and natural disaster from emergency zones such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, DRC, Somalia, Yemen and Sudan.

    In 2010, Martin visited a Rights Respecting School in North London and interviewed four children on the importance of child rights. 

    Read Martin's account of the visit and listen to the children he met talk about the importance of child rights.
