International Law Seminar- Child Soldiers

International Law Seminar- Child Soldiers

I may sound corny in this but here goes, I still believe that the children are our future. This is a little bit corny since the saying is popular because of a song of Michael Jackson yet the saying has a lot of meaning in it. Children should be guided well specially when they are growing up because this when they will realize what is right from wrong, where they generate their personalities. In the seminar of child soldiers wherein Sergeant Ras and Colonel Hermosa they were part of the UN peace keeping of the AFP according to my father. I wasn’t sure of the information because I believe that UN peace keeping shouldn’t been handled by the armed forces Going back to the topic, child soldiers is an important topic to everyone especially future diplomats like us, First reason on why we should focus on such topic is because it is a violation of the rights of a person in the case of the minor soldiers they did not know these so called human rights for them in simple ways such as letting them play or feeding them well is enough guarantee to them to work as bandits killing other people. Second is we need to put it into mind that children are easily influenced. In the presentation of Sgt. Ras the child soldier that showed us photos wherein they captured has innocent eyes of the child soldiers.
