Child Soldiers

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
The recruitment of children under age 15 for military purposes is a war crime under international law. Nevertheless, children remain vulnerable to this grotesque abuse in countries suffering longstanding civil conflict, in regions of extreme poverty or complete breakdown of central authority. Theproliferation of lightweight but deadly small armsof sophisticated modern design - a child of 10 can be trained to strip down a Kalashnikov - enables a cheap, acquiescent and expendable army to be conscripted by warlords.
 
 
 
 
 
The UN says that, despite the ending of various civil wars and release of tens of thousands of child soldiers in the period since 2004, there remain 14 countries in which recruitment takes place. An estimated total of 250,000 children are in military service, including a significant proportion of girls.

 
 
 
 
 

Residents of camps for refugees and
internally displaced persons such as those in Sudan and Chad are particularly vulnerable. There may be as many as 70,000 child soldiers engaged by government and rebel armies inBurma, the country named as the worst offender    These countries and others are now under pressure to sign the “Optional Protocol” to the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child. This Protocol was adopted in 2000 to compel new laws and reintegration of child solders into normal life.

In 2007, governments approved a set of practical guidelines, known as the Paris Commitments and Principles, designed to assist the process of “disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration” which is particularly sensitive for children, often psychologically disturbed by violence. The UN's efforts have been supported in 2008 by tough legislation in the US governing its relationship with countries or warlords linked with the use of child soldiers.
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
 
 
A crucial step towards ending the use of child soldiers was registered in 2007 with the conviction of 3 warlords by the war crimes court for Sierra Leone. In early 2009, the International Criminal Court opened its first case with a charge for child conscription against Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, a militia leader from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
