Abstract
According to the definition given by the UNICEF, a child soldier is any person of 18 years of age and below who is taking part in a regular or irregular armed force in any capacity. His role may vary from being a cook, porter, messenger, and those accompanying such groups other than being a family member. Child soldiers may also be girls who are being recruited for sexual purposes and forced marriages. The definition is not limited to carrying arms and fighting in the battle field. Despite being bound to various laws and treaties that mandate the protection and uphold the rights of child soldiers, there is no domestic law yet that particularly enumerates these. This problem is what the proponents of this thesis want to solve. Once there is a law, solutions to the underlying issues on child soldiers will also be resolved. These issues include the psychological effects on children taking part in the armed conflicts which include but not limited to trauma, aggressive behavior and post-traumatic stress disorder. With this thesis, the proponents want to persuade the readers of the necessity and urgency of enacting a law for that purpose.
