Detailed explanation-1: -In 2008, Congress passed a landmark law, the Child Soldiers Prevention Act, which withholds certain types of US military assistance from governments using children in their forces or supporting militias that recruit children.
Detailed explanation-2: -Regardless of how children are recruited and of their roles, child soldiers are victims, whose participation in conflict bears serious implications for their physical and emotional well-being. They are commonly subject to abuse and most of them witness death, killing, and sexual violence.
Detailed explanation-3: -If children are forced to participate in military action they cannot attend school. This is an abuse of their right to an education, which is an abuse of their right to free education. If the child is injured as a result of the conflict they are unlikely to receive an adequate standard of health care.
Detailed explanation-4: -Child soldiers are boys and girls who are often abducted and used as combatants, forced to act as human shields or conduct executions, deployed as suicide bombers, or used to make or transport explosives. Other roles include working as guards, spies, messengers, porters, cooks or domestic servants.
