This essay explores how a legal and conceptual framework on child soldiers can be built on the loose coordination of different fields of international law, such as international humanitarian law (IHL), international human rights law (IHRL), and international criminal law. It analyses how effectively such a ‘legal patchwork’ can meet the challenge posed by a number of novel (or often side-lined) issues relating to child soldiers or other children who are associated with non-state armed groups in the context of non-international armed conflict (NIAC).
