520 _aWhy has the historic and near universal principle of protecting children in times of war been so widely ignored in recent years? This book looks at the experience of child soldiers, at why and how they are recruited, at the abuses they experience, at the use of children in terrorism, at whether and how such children can be rehabilitated, and what the future may hold. Includes the text of the "optional protocol to the convention on the rights of the child in the involvement of children in armed conflict".
