| Abstract | ||
| The participation of children in conflicts, wars and hostilities is a phenomenon that is increasing day by day and appears to be linked to the emergence of new types of conflicts. whether international or non-international, and despite the existence of this phenomenon since the Second World War. but the efforts to address the issue of child recruitment did not appear or increased only When it was noted by the international community that the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 omitted to address the issue of child recruitment, it became necessary to create international protection for the benefit of children taking part in hostilities. bearing in mind that the two Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions contain Rules prohibiting the participation of children in international and non-international armed conflicts before they reach the age of fifteen. As a result of the increase in armed conflicts and the use of weapons in all its forms and quite easily by different age groups, including children and as a result of the increasing number of children who are recruited and most often are forcibly recruited until the number of millions of deployed in all countries of the world and its continents in this clear violation of international law in general and international humanitarian law in particular. | ||
