This is Human Rights Watch’s webpage about Child Soldiers. The site informs the public that an estimated 300,000 children are currently serving as child soldiers in ongoing armed conflict. These children participate in all aspects of contemporary warfare. They fight on the front lines of combat, serve as human mine detectors, participate in suicide missions, carry supplies and act as spies, messengers or lookouts. The site also contains links to various articles, statistics, and information regarding international standards relating to child soldiers.
