Abstract:
This article discusses the international criminal law concerning the recruitment and use of children to participate in armed conflict. It examines the origins of the law, analyses its provisions and criticises its conformity, as applied, with principles of international criminal justice. The extent to which international criminal law is likely to play a significant role in ending the child soldier phenomenon is questioned.
