The fact that the US is not a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child does not appear to perturb the US delegation, although the US Congress recently called upon them not to block the establishment of 18 as the minimum age for participation in armed conflict

The US apparently objected to the word 'recruitment' on the basis that this might preclude their going into schools and telling 13-year-olds how great a career in the US army is. In ordinary parlance 'enlistment' means joining the army, whether voluntarily or through conscription. In this context the precise meaning of the term will undoubtedly be fought over in the years to come

Despite claims to the contrary, advocacy is a programme and in this area especially is essential to the success of other programmatic efforts to protect children from recruitment and use as soldiers. How that advocacy is undertaken, and in which fora, will rightly depend on the local context and the best interests of the children concerned

The nexus between child soldiering and child labour is an important one. Research conducted for the Machel Study has demonstrated that it is largely the same children that are exploited as labourers in times of peace as are recruited into armed forces or armed groups during armed conflict. See for example the Coalition Position Paper on the issue, prepared by International Federation Terre des Hommes, Geneva, and the Quaker United Nations Office, Geneva
