Prohibition of Child Recruitment as Soldiers: An International Regulatory Discourse

Abstract

Children are frequently turned into child soldiers or used as human shields in armed conflicts.

The situation is further exacerbated by the fact that, while some countries have accepted the convention as binding on themselves, their implementation faces significant challenges, such as the fact that the majority of international treaties lack sanctioning power, limiting their ability to properly accomplish the preventive purpose.
