The crime of child recruitment
Today I will talk about the dangers of recruiting children: according to European Union reports, about 250,000 children in the world have been recruited into armed conflicts.
Today I will talk about two parts; let us talk about two main parts
The first part concerns the child
The second part concerns the groups that recruit children
Let us talk about the first part
First: the child will become hostile and uncooperative with others
Second: he will become part of terrorism, because he is easily persuaded to take part in terrorist bombings and suicide attacks
Third: he will be part of criminal gangs, and we will see a great deal of killing, looting and theft. These will be great dangers: many of them will end up in prison, and the others will be a danger to life.
Fourth: killing or destroying the nation's future and cutting off its dreams, because tomorrow's children will be adults and form its human strength, and the greatest disaster will be the following:
ignorant, illiterate and uneducated;
liable to join the cycle of violence;
a generation that grew up in a hostile environment full of scenes of killing and destruction;
exposed to abuse in childhood because he was in the camps, which may leave him with a psychological condition for the rest of his life;
deprived of living with his family, and when he marries he will pass his experience on to his children, and here lies the greatest disaster.
And now we talk about the second part:
The second part concerns the groups that recruit children
First: it violates the rights of the child and takes away his right to life.
Second: they commit a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Third: their cause loses its justice, because whoever fights for a justification in the name of our childhood is supposed to protect childhood, not drag children into armed conflicts.
Fourth: they are condemned at home and abroad for the ugly crime they commit.
Fifth: the child will take revenge on them in the future, because he knows that he was deceived, deprived of his family and that his childhood was exploited.
Sixth: society is stirred up against them, because they stole the childhood of its sons.
Seventh: their crimes are recorded in the history books.
