This book commences with an analysis
of the current state of child soldiering
internationally. Thereafter the proscriptive
content of contemporary norms on the
prohibition of the use and recruitment of
child soldiers is evaluated, so as to determine
whether these norms are capable of better
enforcement. An 'issues-based' approach is
adopted, in terms of which no specific regime
of law, such as international humanitarian
law (IHL), is deemed dominant. Instead,
universal and regional human rights law,
international criminal law and IHL are
assessed cumulatively, so as to create a
mutually reinforcing web of protection.
Ultimately, it is argued that the effective
implementation of child soldier prohibitive
norms does not require major changes to
any entity or functionary engaged in such
prevention; rather, it requires the constant
reassessment and refinement of all such
entities and functionaries, and here, some
changes are suggested. International judicial,
quasi-judicial and non-judicial entities and
functionaries most relevant to child soldier
prevention are critically assessed. Ultimately
the conclusions reached are assessed in light
of a case study on the use and recruitment of
child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo.
