Children as Victims of Armed Conflict at the Turn of XX and XXI Centuries. The Problem Outline

In civilised countries in the world, the greatest value of every family is children. It is the parents and families who take care of their upbringing, education and, if necessary, their adult lives, according to their needs, provide the necessary help.

The fact that there are countries in the XXIst century which tolerate children soldiers and, in extreme cases, suicide children, should be met with the protest of everyone whose primary good is their successors.

The fact that ten-year-olds or even teenagers are being used in armed combat should never happen, above all for moral, cultural and demographic reasons.
