Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in the report that thousands of children are among the more than 250,000 people killed in Syria, and in Yemen the UN verified a five-fold increase of children recruited by the warring parties in 2015 compared with 2014.
In Somalia, the UN said there was a 50 per cent increase in violations against youngsters.
PROFESSOR KILLED IN LA SHOOTING: The university of California has been in locked down after what police said was a murder suicide.
A professor has been identified by authorities as one of the men fatally shot in a murder-suicide at the University of California, Los Angeles, that shut down the sprawling campus for two hours a day earlier.
William Klug, 39, was one of the men killed in the shooting in the school's engineering building on Wednesday, the Los Angeles coroner's office said.
Los Angeles police said on Wednesday the gunman shot himself after fatally wounding another man, but declined to elaborate on the circumstances of the incident.
University officials said classes would resume on Thursday and counsellors will be available for students, faculty and staff.
"Our hearts are heavy this evening as our campus family mourns the sudden and tragic deaths of two people on our campus earlier today," Chancellor Gene Block said in a statement.
Klug was a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, according to the university's website. The Los Angeles Times reported that Klug was attempting to develop a computer-generated virtual heart.
