| Abstract: | This chapter highlights the mechanisms and means used by international law to protect children in armed conflict situations. Children frequently find themselves as participants in both national and international conflicts and face the dual challenges of victimisation or coercion into taking up arms for the sake of war efforts. International law responds to these challenges by offering legal instruments, notably conventions and protocols, explicitly designed to address the unique vulnerabilities of children living in conflict zones. The author analyses the comprehensive international legal framework engaged in the battle against the infringement of children's rights during times of war and the profound consequences arising from such violations. By highlighting the important role of child protection within the international legal arsenal, this chapter substantially contributes to the ongoing discourse surrounding the fortification of mechanisms designed to safeguard children’s rights in the complexities of armed conflict. |
