On August 5, 2006 Clickwalla reported, "United Sikhs and thirty-six other NGOs (non-governmental organizations) attended a meeting at the United Nations on Tuesday to highlight the plight of the victims of violence during the current conflict in the Middle East. The organizations submitted official statements to the UN denouncing the violence. The meeting was held at the Tillman Chapel in the Church Center for the U.N. Organizations from around the world met and protested against the war in the Middle East and submitted their official statements to the UN. The organizations specifically focused on children, because of the high number of child casualties during any conflict situation. Rev. Kathleen Stone, Chaplain, Church Center for the United Nations said, 'Children are not supposed to be victims of wars. Yet, it seems they have begun to be the major victims. (They are) innocently unable to move quickly enough or stay out of the wrong places. And we’ve known this, that’s why the Convention on the Rights of the Child was written,' stated Rev. Kathleen Stone, Chaplain, Church Center for the United Nations. She said, 'We are gathering organizational statements, today. They are the prayer of our hearts.'"
