Military Training for Officers on Children in Armed Conflict

This website summarises the key rules for the protection of children in situations of armed conflict which should guide the actions of officers of national armed forces and the soldiers under their command.

So, officers should know these rules, or at least know where to look them up.
They should also make sure that their soldiers know the main rules, as appropriate in the particular circumstances. (Ideally, non-governmental forces should also be guided by these rules.)

The purpose of this website is to provide an accessible and simple summary of the relevant rules. However, for the convenience of those who want more detailed information, as well as references to other relevant publications, a link is given to the book on which this website is largely based:
J. Kuper, Military Training and Children in Armed Conflict: Law, Policy and Practice (Martinus Nijhoff, 2005)
