As many as fifty non-state armed groups (NSAGs) in countries such
as Afghanistan, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, India,
Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Libya, Mali, Pakistan, the Philippines,
Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Thailand and Yemen are engaged in the
recruitment and use of children in armed conflict. In Somalia,
South Sudan, Syria and Yemen the situation continues to be
perilous, with many hundreds of children recruited, used, killed
and maimed. Children have been used by the NSAGs as executioners
and suicide bombers. By an estimate, there are 300,000-350,000
child soldiers worldwide and the alarming trend continues to grow.
According to the United Nations, there has been a fivefold increase
in the number of children recruited in a few ongoing armed
conflicts. This book gives an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis
of the recruitment and use of child soldiers worldwide; and
examines the (in) adequacy of international institutions and laws
in protecting children. It is an invaluable resource for anyone
interested or working in the field of protecting children:
teachers, students, lawyers, government officials, military and
police personnel, researchers and human rights activists.
