Casi 300.000 niños y niñas (menores de 18 años) participan actualmente en conflictos armados en más de 35 países como Sudán, Colombia, Angola, Sri Lanka, Afganistán, Liberia, Sierra Leona, Uganda y Líbano. El UNICEF calcula que desde 1990 más de 2 millones de niños y niñas han sido asesinados, 6 millones han sido mutilados y 20 millones se han visto obligados a abandonar sus hogares en conflictos armados. Estos niños y niñas participan en conflictos donde los adultos distribuyen armas pequeñas y ligeras entre los menores, por ser baratas y fáciles de manejar, y les obligan a luchar en una guerra que no les corresponde. Muchos de ellos han sido obligados a alistarse en las fuerzas armadas (gubernamentales o no gubernamentales) mediante intimidaciones, secuestro u otras formas de violencia. Otros y otras lo hacen voluntariamente, pero casi siempre para conseguir alimentos, un refugio y seguridad.

Inhalt In den letzten Jahren wurde immer deutlicher, dass Lebensrealität und Motivation der Heranwachsenden, die nicht mehr Kind, aber auch noch nicht vollverantwortliche Erwachsene sind, bisher nur unzureichend wahrgenommen werden. Aus dieser Erkenntnis wuchs die Idee, Jugendliche zu befragen, warum sie sich den bewaffneten Gruppen oder regulären Armeen „freiwillig“ angeschlossen haben. Die Untersuchung wurde in den Jahren 2002/2003 durchgeführt. Als Partner konnte die Internationale Arbeitsorganisation (ILO) gewonnen werden.

Sie betätigen sich als Laufburschen oder Kundschafter, werden als lebende Minenräumer eingesetzt, sie plündern, foltern, vergewaltigen und töten.

Despite pledges of protection by combatants, the United Nations, and powerful states, armed conflict continues to devastate civilian populations. This fourteenth annual World Report features fifteen essays, each devoted to the human rights consequences of a different aspect of armed conflict. From the Congo to Iraq, from terrorism to arms trafficking, from child soldiers to justice, this volume assesses current developments and suggests ways forward.

Pretoria (2004): Institute for Security Studies (12 Seiten). 8 Inhalt After a successful three-year implementation, the ISS project ‘Children in Armed Conflict’ (Interact) is in its concluding phase. The ISS is proud of the work undertaken and the significant achievements of the project. During the past three years, international attention has shifted away from children only as combatants as it has become more apparent that children and youth play a much more complex and important role before, during and after the outbreak of conflict. It is hoped that the work done by Interact has contributed to this understanding. The objective of this workshop was to conduct an informal evaluation of Interact’s work with some of our stakeholders. The agenda included discussions of challenges and achievements, methodology, new discourses on children and youth in armed conflict and the current state of advocacy. Towards the end of the day-long workshop, the participants, who came from different governments, non-governmental and academic institutions, were asked to make recommendations on the way forward for advocacy and research on behalf of children and youth and armed conflicts.

Report of the First Hearings, Colchester, U.K., April 3-6, 2000. Montréal (2000): IBCR (70 Seiten).. Inhalt The Bureau has developed the International Tribunal for Children’s Rights, a unique intervention mechanism for conducting enquiries and proposing practical solutions to specific violations of children’s rights. The Tribunal is best described as a moral court rather than a formal, judicial institution. Although it is concerned with investigating situations in which children’s rights are violated, the Tribunal cannot formally incriminate, prosecute or punish those responsible. The judges have no powers beyond those of persuasion on the basis of the conclusions and recommendations they make in their reports. The Hearings offer an opportunity for public testimony, for sharing experiences and views, in both oral and written form and for monitoring important issues about the rights of children around the world. They aim to: Raise the awareness of citizens, governments, organisations and corporations about their responsibilities in light of the principles set forth in the CRC; Recommend measures that will insure the well-being and protection of children; Encourage co-operation between all members of the international community. The Hearings have a flexible format within overall guidelines. The Tribunal consists of judges chosen by the Selection Committee of the International Bureau for Children’s Rights.

Genf (2002/2003): Quaker United Nations Office (36/87 Seiten). Inhalt Violence against children is unacceptable. Addressing this problem requires the work of governments, UN agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector and individual men and women. It also requires that we listen to the voices of child soldiers to understand their story. This is an important aspect of our work on prevention, demobilization and reintegration. This study is an effort in listening to the voice of girl soldiers from four conflict areas around the world. Bezug ......................

Approaches by International Organisations. Berlin (2005): Berghof Forschungszentrum für konstruktive Konfliktbearbeitung (72 Seiten). Inhalt This study deals with youth in war-to-peace transitions and the response of international organizations to them. While youth’s relevance for societal transformation is a longacknowledged fact, their large numbers and potential roles in conflict have recently caused organizations to consider them a target group for peace and development programs. Reflecting on this process, this study thus assesses the difficulties in conceptualizing the role of youth in peace-building processes on the one hand and the concrete efforts of international organizations to integrate them into their policies and programs on the other. For this purpose, it explores four guiding questions: First, what approaches have international organizations developed regarding youth? Second, on which assumptions about youth and their role in violent conflicts are they based? Third, how do the different approaches affect program development, and, fourth, are they are compatible? Also focuses on former child soldiers. Bezug ......................

Those conflicts, like so many others, were vivid reminders that where there is armed conflict there are also, almost always, children. Soldiers and officers fulfil many roles in relation to such children – sometimes as combatants, sometimes as humanitarian workers, sometimes as protectors, and/or sometimes as enemies and abusers. This book aims to address three main questions: what are the obligations of officers of national armed forces in relation to children, either civilians or combatants, whom they or those under their command may encounter while participating in situations of armed conflict? How realistic and achievable are these obligations? How can compliance with them be encouraged, monitored, and/or enforced? The book examines these questions in the context of military training. In doing so, it has another inextricably linked aim: to see if there are ways in which the training of officers can improve the protection of children in armed conflict situations, in accordance with international law and policy. It is intended for use particularly by those involved in training of national armed forces, including officers themselves, and members of governments, nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) and inter-governmental organisations. It is hoped that it will also be of interest to lawyers, academics and others concerned with ‘child rights’ and related law and policy. It contains examples of actual training materials that can be modified for use in different countries and contexts. Bezug Kuper, Jenny: Military Training and Children in Armed Conflict.

Mention the ‘child soldier’ and we immediately think of a small boy brandishing a rifle almost as big as he is. But what of the other children unwittingly caught up in armed conflicts? Girls in particular are largely overlooked and, consequently, reintegration and demobilisation programmes fail to address their specific needs and often exclude them altogether. 10 Bezug Elektronisch: http://europa.eu.int/comm/development/body/publications/courier/courier196/en/en_024.pdf Hardcopy: http://europa.eu.int/comm/dgs/development/organisation/contact_form_en.cfm oder E-Mail: [email protected] Auch in Französisch erhältlich. Titel McIntyre, Angela; Weiss, Taya: Exploring Small Arms Demand - A Youth Perspective (ISS Paper Nr. 67). Pretoria (2003): Institute for Security Studies. Inhalt The purpose of this paper is to begin exploring the complex relationships between arms proliferation, youth and security in the African context. While all three elements in the relationship stand alone as research, policy and advocacy issues, all can benefit from cross cutting analysis. The aim here is not to attempt to establish ‘youth and small arms’ as yet another niche. It is to lend a youth-centred perspective to small arms demand, taking into account enabling social, economic and political factors in arms proliferation, specifically on the demand side. There is a profound need for youth and child centred perspectives on human security issues if the term “human security” is to have any real meaning. The state of child and youth rights must be treated as more than just an indicator of government performance in traditional sectors such as health, education and social services. This paper will attempt to demonstrate the relationships between child an youth participation in armed violence, the failure to protect of children’s and youth’s rights and the demand for small arms.

Report No. 8. Dublin (2004): Mercy International Association (11 Seiten). Inhalt Why listen to the voices of the girl soldier? Many documents have been and are being developed to address the concern of violence against children. These are necessary actions to gain understanding and agreement among international parties to prevent the use of children as soldiers and for rehabilitation. The characteristics of many of these actions are to call for “providing resources” or “establishing mechanisms to facilitate activities for children” or “ensuring provisions for demobilization and reintegration are spelled out.” To accomplish these objectives, we must understand what resources to provide, what activities will meet the child’s need or what provisions need to be spelled out. We can rely on theories, typically Western concepts of treatment, and we can also listen to the child and try to gain an understanding of what may be most effective in meeting their needs.

The Convention of the Rights of the Child, adopted in 1989, offers a new definition of childhood based on human rights. Yet for hundred of millions of children the promise of childhood that undergirds the Convention already appears broken as poverty, armed conflict and HIV/AIDS threaten their survival and development. The report examines these three key threats in detail, and offers a comprehensive agenda of action to combat them. It concludes by calling on all stakeholders – governments, donors, international agencies, as well as communities, families, business and individuals – to reaffirm and recommit to their moral and legal responsibilities to children.

In recent years they have been deliberately targeted as victims and forced to fight as soldiers. But many children are also standing firm in their commitment to peace. Children are building partnerships and bridges of peace in their families, communities, nationally and globally.

Der Einsatz von Kindern in Konflikten ist keineswegs ein neuer Trend, der erst in den letzten Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts begonnen hätte. Ein Blick in die Geschichte zeigt, dass es auch in den Konflikten früherer Jahrhunderte "Kindersoldaten" gab. Von einem Beispiel berichtet Alcinda Honwana, wenn sie beschreibt, dass der Kinder-Kreuzzug von 1212 tatsächlich aus vielen Kinder bestand. Auch zu Napoleons Armee gehörten zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts schon zwölfjährige Knaben, die an den Kämpfen teilnahmen. Rachel Brett und Margaret McCallin ergänzen in ihrem Standardwerk zum Thema: "Wenn im Mittelalter [in Europa] ein Junge Ritter werden wollte, konnte er ab dem 14. Lebensjahr als Knappe dienen. Er säuberte die Rüstung seines Herrn und hielt Wache, wenn er schlief." Trotz aller historischen Beispiels gilt bei uns allgemein die Zeit seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg als "Ära der Kindersoldaten". Grund dafür ist der radikale Wandel, den bewaffnete Konflikte seither erfahren haben. Dies hat nicht nur die Zahl der in bewaffnete Konflikte verwickelte Kinder ansteigen lassen, sondern auch die Art und Weise verändert, wie sie daran teilnehmen. Bezug Titel ......................

Titel The main aim of this book is to highlight the worsening situation of children on the African continent, where the number of street children is increasing from day to day. Besides, this book discusses the issue of HIV/AIDS and how it affects the lives of African children. It offers useful suggestions and valuable proposals on how to deal with these problems. Based on the research the author made, he decided on Sudan, Kenya, Uganda as well as Zambia as countries of case studies. About 70 percent of the adults are living with HIV/AIDS disease. 80 percent of the children in Africa live with HIV/AIDS. In recent years, 2.2 million Africans died as a result of HIV/AIDS infections. This indicates that the disease is one of the major threats to the economic and social development in Africa. This book investigates the causes and recommends possible solutions to the problem of children and child soldiers in the world and in Africa in particular.

Pretoria (2003): Institute for Security Studies. 14 Inhalt Bezug The conference aimed to familiarise and inform participants of humanitarian challenges, protection tools and the ‘Aide-Memoire’ checklist and to identify strategies for mainstreaming acquired knowledge within domestic and regional decision-making structures. The workshop provided a unique opportunity to identify and discuss protection challenges in Sierra Leone, Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia, as well as the effects of these conflicts in the region. The workshop also provided a forum where existing initiatives, domestic, national and regional, were examined and considered with the aim of improving civilian protection in the region. In order to achieve this, participants were tasked with analyzing a crisis scenario exercise and applying protection measures. They were also encouraged to approach all discussions with a view to identify actors that are responsible for protecting civilians, examine who is responsible for what, promote and develop a sense of what protection entails and isolate practical next steps in the implementation of these objectives. The conference also set priorities for follow-up action and developed regional recommendations, which will ultimately feed into the SecretaryGeneral’s next report on the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict (June 2004).

Pretoria (2002): Institute for Security Studies. 15 Inhalt The workshop brought together 65 representatives from government ministries of foreign affairs, defence, interior or home affairs, and refugee affairs, academic institutions and key nongovernmental organisations within the Southern Africa region, as well as a cross-section of UN agencies working on these issues. It was the first of six regional workshops coordinated by OCHA, arising from its mandate to develop a policy framework on the protection of civilians in armed conflict in close collaboration with its humanitarian partner agencies and interested Member States. The workshop had three primary objectives: To familiarize participants with humanitarian challenges that arise during armed conflicts;To provide an opportunity for participants to work through a regionally-tailored crisis scenario exercise and apply potential protection measures; and to identify strategies for mainstreaming acquired knowledge within domestic decision-making structures, set priorities for follow-up action, and develop regional recommendations to feed into the Secretary-General’s third report to the Security Council on the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict (presented on December 10, 2002).

Titel ...................... Rosen, David M.: Armies Of The Young: Child Soldiers In War And Terrorism (The Rutgers Series in Childhood Studies). Piscataway (2005): Rutgers University Press (199 Seiten). 16 Inhalt Bezug Children have served as soldiers throughout history. They fought in the American Revolution, the Civil War, and in both world wars. They served as uniformed soldiers, camouflaged insurgents, and even suicide bombers. Indeed, the first U.S. soldier to be killed by hostile fire in the Afghanistan war was shot in ambush by a fourteen-year-old boy. Does this mean that child soldiers are aggressors? Or are they victims? It is a difficult question with no obvious answer, yet in recent years the acceptable answer among humanitarian organizations and contemporary scholars has been resoundingly the latter. These children are most often seen as especially hideous examples of adult criminal exploitation. In this provocative book, David M. Rosen argues that this response vastly oversimplifies the child soldier problem. Drawing on three dramatic examples-from Sierra Leone, Palestine, and Eastern Europe during the Holocaust-Rosen vividly illustrates this controversial view. In each case, he shows that children are not always passive victims, but often make the rational decision that not fighting is worse than fighting. With a critical eye to international law, Armies of the Young urges readers to reconsider the situation of child combatants in light of circumstance and history before adopting uninformed child protectionist views. In the process, Rosen paints a memorable and unsettling picture of the role of children in international conflicts.

(ISS Paper Nr. 97). Pretoria (2005): Institute for Security Studies. Inhalt Burundi is moving through a period of political transition that is being closely observed by those within and outside the country. In October 2004 the three-year transitional government in Burundi was extended for a further six months by a summit of regional leaders in Nairobi. The value of this extension depends entirely on how it is used by the current leaders in Burundi. Whether it will heighten or reduce tensions depends largely on whether the political parties in Burundi have the will to implement the various agreements that underpin the peace process. Activities leading to the end of the six-month extension period will have a direct bearing on the future of the country. The key question therefore is: what should be the priorities for stakeholders in the Burundian peace process to ensure a peaceful transition? This paper assesses the situation in Burundi with the focus on disarmament initiatives in the period to the end of 2004. In order to elucidate the complexities involved in the disarmament process, which mirror those of the entire peace process, it first reviews the current situation in Burundi. Contains also information on the involvement of child soldiers. Bezug ► Burundi Elektronisch: http://www.iss.co.za/pubs/papers/97/Paper97.htm Hardcopy: Institute for Security Studies, P.O.

Demobilising and reintegrating child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo. London (2003): Save The Children (83 Seiten). Inhalt More than 1,200 child soldiers have been demobilised in the North and South Kivu Provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since 1999. The process has been gradual but consistent. Save the Children UK has led the majority of the work; the number of operational actors increasing during 2002. The programme in North and South Kivu does not claim to be completely successful. The myriad groups in the region continue to recruit and use children in the conflict. However, the experience demonstrates that, with many remaining constraints, the demobilisation and reintegration of children during ongoing conflict can be achieved. Lessons learned in this experience are especially important for working with child soldiers in situations of ongoing conflict and with non-state actors. Indeed one of the lessons is the importance of engaging non-state actors in tandem to work with the community. Save the Children has found its child protection training project with military officers and ‘community child protection networks’ to have an important impact.

S: Liberia at a Crossroads: A preliminary look at the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) and the protection of civilians (ISS Paper Nr. 95). Pretoria (2004): Institute for Security Studies. Inhalt This paper is a preliminary attempt to look at the role of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) in the protection of civilians.1 In this vein, the paper will briefly explore the political and diplomatic developments leading to the deployment of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Mission in Liberia (ECOMIL), its mandate and its impact on the Liberian peace process. The paper then focuses on the UNMIL, particularly its broad mandate, deployment and the implementation of critical peacekeeping and peace-building tasks, notably disarmament, demobilisation, rehabilitation and reintegration (DDRR), reform of the security sector, issues of human rights as well as the rule of law and transitional justice. These issues will be analysed with the aim of highlighting their crucial importance to the overall peace process in general and the protection of civilians in particular. The paper does not make policy recommendations or draw doctrinal principles and statements, as these would be undertaken in the final book/monograph. Also contains information on child soldiers.

Ph.D. Dissertation. Stockholm (2003): Department of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology, Uppsala University (292 Seiten). Inhalt This dissertation presents an ethnography of youth in Liberia and of how their lives became affected by a civil war which raged in the country between 1990 and 1997. The focus is on the experiences, motivations, and reflections of young combatants who fought for a variety of rebel factions. For these young people, the daily prospect of poverty, joblessness and marginalisation effectively blocked the paths to a normal adulthood; drawing them instead into a subculture of liminality, characterised by abjection, resentment and rootlessness. As opportunity came, their voluntary enlistment into one of the several rebel armies of the civil war therefore became an attractive option for many. Based upon one year of fieldwork during 1998, conducted among groups of ex-combatant youths in both the capital Monrovia and in a provincial town in the rural hinterland, I describe and analyse the young people’s own accounts of their involvement in the civil war; their complicity in atrocities, their coping strategies in the context of armed conflict, their position as ex-combatants in a post-war environment, and their outlook on their past, present and future.

New York (2004): Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children (50 Seiten) Inhalt Liberia has been in a nearly constant state of civil war for 14 years. This has taken an enormous toll on the lives of Liberian children, adolescents and all civilians. Throughout the years of civil war and especially during the 2003 War, thousands of Liberian children have been victims of killings, rape and sexual assault, abduction, torture, forced labour, forced recruitment into fighting forces and displacement and other violations by warring factions, including the government of Liberia under Charles Taylor, Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) and the Movement for Democracy in Liberia (MODEL). A complex web of crossborder activities helped to fuel war in Liberia and to feed instability and fragility throughout the region. Since the National Transitional Government of Liberia (NTGL) assumed power and the United Nations (UN) deployed the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), post-conflict in Liberia has seen slight improvements in the humanitarian, human rights and political situations. Yet, widespread human rights violations, including abuses against children, continue to be committed with impunity, particularly in areas where peacekeepers have been late to deploy. This report compiles information from a variety of sources to document ongoing violations of Liberian children’s security and rights. It also makes urgent recommendations to all parties that participated in armed conflict, the UN Security Council, UNMIL, international donors, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and others to take immediate action to protect Liberian children from further abuse and devastation as reconstruction in Liberia moves forward.

Hardcopy: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH, Postfach 5180, 65726 Eschborn, E-Mail: [email protected] Titel In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the particular needs of child soldiers and other girls and boys separated as a result of conflict. This has led to significant progress in agreeing good practice on children’s protection during, and immediately after, conflict. Much work has also been done to determine effective strategies for ensuring children’s safe return to families and communities. However, less attention has been paid to children’s well-being once back in their villages or towns of origin. To help fill this knowledge gap, Save the Children UK conducted group discussions and in-depth interviews on the reintegration process with 211 girls and boys from the Kailahun district of Sierra Leone. Both ex-child soldiers and other separated children were included in the research, which suggests ten principles for good practice that could be used in a range of contexts: 1) Don’t focus all resources on ex-combatants, 2) Recognise that both boys and girls are affected by conflict and that different groups of children have particular needs that must be addressed in the reintegration process, 3) Engage a range of stakeholders in shaping and supporting children’s reintegration, including the children themselves, community leaders and teachers, 4) Protect children from abuse or neglect in the family or other relationships, 5) Establish and provide support to community child protection mechanisms for on-going efforts to reduce discrimination, neglect and abuse, 6)Take special measures to protect the rights of young single mothers and their children, 7) Prioritise the provision of free, good quality education for all, 8) Ensure that skills training can be used to improve household livelihoods, 9) Focus infrastructure repair on the areas that need it most, rather than those that are most accessible, to promote livelihoods rehabilitation, 10) Provide accurate and honest information about the reintegration process to avoid disillusionment and ensure that children receive the benefits they are eligible for.

New York (2003): Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children (23 Seiten) 24 Inhalt The DDR program in Sierra Leone is touted as one of the most successful demobilization efforts in history — it accomplished its principal goals of disarming and demobilizing thousands of ex-combatants on all sides of the conflict, including children. It quickly increased security in Sierra Leone, an essential prerequisite for peace. In the face of limited resources, a fluctuating security situation and destroyed infrastructure, UNICEF, Child Protection Agencies (CPAs) and the government of Sierra Leone provided demobilization services, including reunification, to approximately 6,900 children and adolescents. These are just first steps, however, toward significantly raising the bar of success in such efforts. Interviews with more than 300 adolescents, youth, women and men formerly associated with fighting groups in Sierra Leone reveal very serious gaps in the program and provide strong lessons learned.

The politics of children’s rights in northern Uganda, in: Accord (2002), 11. Inhalt In international eyes the forcible abduction of children and adults by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is probably the defining characteristic of the war in northern Uganda, and there is little doubt that it has done much to draw international attention and intervention to the area. According to the Abducted Child Registration and Information System (ACRIS) set up by UNICEF and the government of Uganda, some 9,818 children under the age of 18 have been abducted since the LRA war began, or about one third of the total of 28,217 recorded abductionsi. Of these 9,818 about one third, or 3,300, were under the age of 12 when abducted.

Renewed War in Northern Uganda. New York (2003): Human Rights Watch (73 Seiten). Inhalt Abductions, torture, recruitment of child soldiers, and other abuses have sharply increased in the past year in northern Uganda due to renewed fighting between Ugandan government forces and rebels, a coalition of national and international organizations. This 73-page report details how a slew of human rights abuses have resulted in a humanitarian crisis. Since June 2002, the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has abducted nearly 8,400 children and thousands more adults, a sharp rise from 2001. The LRA has also escalated the seventeenyear war against northern Uganda's civilians by targeting religious leaders, aid providers, and those living in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps. The report draws on interviews with recently abducted children who escaped from the LRA. It gives voice to internally displaced persons living in the IDP camps that have been attacked by the LRA, and the aid workers attempting to reach these victims despite frequent LRA ambushes on relief convoys.

Participatory research study with Adolescents in Northern Uganda, May – July 2001. New York (2001): Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children (85 Seiten) 26 Inhalt Dozens of Ugandan and Sudanese adolescents interviewed more than 2,000 adolescents and adults in a Women’s Commission-sponsored project in the Acholi Districts of Gulu, Kitgum and Pader in northern Uganda from May to July 2001. They reveal that the insecurity of armed conflict, where adolescents are principal targets for murder, abduction, forced recruitment and sexual enslavement, is their top concern. Adolescents say that a combination of war, massive displacement, HIV/AIDS, lack of development and poverty has created a world of unimaginable misery for young people. Without protection from violence and with little support from adults who do not recognize or respect their rapidly changing role in society, adolescents are shouldering enormous responsibilities for themselves, their families and the community as a whole. Thousands are orphaned and heading households, and few – especially girls – are able to attend school or find sufficient means to support or protect themselves, as humanitarian assistance falls well short of their needs, and they suffer ongoing abduction and increased domestic and sexual violence. Adolescents are struggling to survive against all odds and too often without even recognizing their own strengths and abilities. They are urgently calling on the international community – especially the Governments of Uganda and Sudan – to act swiftly to lift their burdens and for all combatants to commit to peace.

New York (2004): Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children (33 Seiten) Inhalt Amongst the growing number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in northern Uganda are an estimated 50,000 people known as “night commuters” – most of them children, adolescents and women – who flee their homes or IDP camps each night for town centers seeking safety from attack by the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). IDPs say the government of Uganda (GOU) and its military, the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) could and should be doing more to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance and provide IDPs basic physical security. Additionally, many members of Ugandan civil society believe the GOU and the LRA should be taking stronger measures to facilitate a peaceful end to the conflict. In the absence of adequate protection by the government of Uganda, IDPs have increasingly turned to the use of government-supported local defense units (LDUs) to protect their communities. However, the GOU is doing too little to monitor its LDU recruitment, training and activity. Despite the GOU’s claims that it does not use child soldiers, IDP camp leaders and humanitarian agencies report the active recruitment of children and adolescents into LDUs.

Throughout the country, children find themselves at both ends of the weapon – some as perpetrators of conflict, crime and violence, and many more as the victims of constant brutality. Raging conflict between government forces, paramilitary groups, leftist guerrillas, and ordinary civilians have created an environment where no child is safe. Conditions of conflict and violence have perpetuated the use of children in conflict, and the perception that any child could be an actor in the armed violence.

By placing the issue on the agenda, the report will ultimately identify ways to reduce and end the involvement of children in these conflicts.

Approximately 1 in 4 Afghan children die of preventable causes before the age of five. Approximately 1 in 2 children suffer from malnutrition. The maternal mortality rate is the second highest in the world at 1,700/100,000. Approximately 2 million Afghan children are refugees or internally displaced. Approximately half of all landmine victims in Afghanistan are children (an estimated 5-10 people died everyday in 1999 from landmine injuries). Children and adolescents are reported to be forcibly recruited as soldiers. Many have no access to education or basic healthcare. Afghan girls suffer from institutionalized discrimination, sexual and genderbased violence, and trafficking for sexual purposes. Severe physical, emotional and mental repercussions have taken an enormous toll on several generations of Afghan children, who continue to suffer from the ongoing violence.

Titel Cagoco-Guiam, Rufa: Philippines. Child Soldiers in Central and Western Mindanao: A Rapid Assessment. Genf (2002): Internationale Arbeitsorganisation (128 Seiten). Inhalt Three major insurgent groups have waged armed struggle against the forces of the Philippine military since the 1960s. These are the Communist-oriented New People’s Army, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and its breakaway faction, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The latter two groups were organized by Muslim revolutionary leaders, convinced that armed struggle is the only way to express the right to self-determination for the Bangsamoro Muslims in Mindanao. In 1996, the Philippine government signed a Peace Agreement with the MNLF leadership, thus ending more than two decades of armed struggle. But the Philippine government is still engaged in armed conflict with the MNLF’s breakaway faction, the MILF. The fertile river valleys of Central Mindanao are acknowledged to be the location of major MILF camps where children as young as 11 years old receive training in how to handle both long and short firearms in battle. Late in the 1980s, a group of ragtag armed youth, mostly from the Yakan and Sama ethnic groups based on the island province of Basilan emerged to become the country’s foremost bandit and kidnap-for-ransom group.

Titel The report provides information on developments covering the period from the issuance of my last report, on 10 November 2003, through December 2004. The report indicates that the efforts deployed over the last several years have yielded significant advances and created a strong momentum for the protection of children. These include: greatly increased global awareness of and advocacy for child protection; an impressive and comprehensive body of protection instruments and norms; the protection of war-affected children has been firmly placed on the international peace-and-security agenda; the protection and well-being of children is increasingly reflected in the mandates of peacekeeping missions and the deployment of Child Protection Advisers; and children’s concerns are being incorporated in peace negotiations, peace accords, and in post-conflict programmes for rehabilitation and rebuilding. And, the situation for children has improved considerably in several situations, including in Afghanistan, Angola, the Balkans, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Timor Leste. The report systematically names and lists all offending parties, both insurgents and governments, which are responsible for committing the following five grave violations: killing or maiming of children; recruiting or using child soldiers; attacks against schools or hospitals; rape and other grave sexual violence against children; abduction of children.

Mainstreaming of the concerns of children affected by armed conflict within key United Nations entities and in system-wide activities is a critical element in the institution of the “era of application” for the protection of war-affected children and ultimately the safeguarding and improvement of their lives. Notable progress has been made, particularly in mainstreaming this issue in the peace and security sector. This includes the systematic and concerted engagement of the Security Council and the integration of children’s issues in the context of United Nations peacekeeping and into relevant thematic activities across the United Nations system. Yet, the gains that have been made remain fragile and may dissipate if not consolidated and institutionalized. And, at the same time, conspicuous gaps exist in the United Nations system response that must be addressed. The report concludes that in order for the issue of children affected by armed conflict to emerge as a consistent cross-cutting issue in United Nations policies and programmes there must be system-wide commitment and action on this agenda. Translation into reality and practice requires the strong commitment of the leaders of the key United Nations entities, together with mobilization and allocation of the requisite financial and human resources as a matter of priority.

Titel Druba, Volker: The Problem of Child Soldiers, in: International Review of Education, 48 (2002), 3/4, S. 271 – 278. Inhalt In today’s world, the number of child soldiers is estimated between 200,000 and 500,000. It is extremely rare for wealthier children from urban areas to be recruited. Most of the child soldiers come from the poor and marginal sectors of society or from the actual conflict zones themselves. They are in fact “child labourers” working under appalling conditions. Few of them have the ability to cope with the identity crises involved. Children are involved in different types of war. In trying to stop their participation in armed conflicts, local and international non-governmental organisations are publishing case studies. Some of these studies focus on the experiences and aftereffects of child soldiering, especially by means of photographs, quotations and drawings. There are also studies undertaken by the UN, but academic research is just at the beginning. Actually, we do not know all those situations and circumstances in which child soldiers are involved. But it is assumed that young and active child soldiers with disrupted family backgrounds suffer the most. Pedagogical interventions to reduce child soldiering are mainly concerned with primary education, vocational training, social services and the new concepts of education for reconstruction and education for reconciliation. A number of accounts of experiences and proposals for rehabilitation and reintegration programmes have already been published. Education does matter, but this alone cannot prevent child soldiering. Observing their legal protection is essential. But it is only possible to reduce the involvement of children in war if the political leaders are more interested in the welfare of the child than in military strategies.

Eschborn (2003): Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH (24 Seiten). 41 Inhalt Kinder und Jugendliche sind von Kriegs- und Gewalterfahrungen besonders betroffen: Sie werden oftmals zu Tätern, die für ihre Taten eigentlich noch keine Verantwortung übernehmen können. Die Bilder von Kindersoldaten aus Liberia sind hierfür sicherlich nur eine besonders drastische Illustration. Viele sind von Gewalt und dem Spiel mit Waffen fasziniert. Durch sie bekommen sie Aufmerksamkeit und Anerkennung. Zugleich sind Kinder und Jugendliche häufig Opfer von Gewalt. Sie tragen körperliche wie auch psychische Verletzungen davon. In einem Klima der Aggression, des Misstrauens und der Angst lernen Kinder nicht, wie Konflikte friedlich gelöst werden können und was Sicherheit bedeutet. Kinder und Jugendliche gelten jedoch durch ihr hohes Maß an Kreativität und Innovationsfähigkeit als treibende Kraft für gesellschaftlichen Wandel. Sie sind Hoffnungsträger für eine gewaltfreie Konfliktbearbeitung, die auf Versöhnung und Verständigung setzt. Die Stärkung von Jugendlichen durch Instrumente der Krisen- und Gewaltprävention ist daher für eine nachhaltige Entwicklungszusammenarbeit von zentraler Bedeutung. Dies gilt insbesondere für Kriegs- und Krisengebiete. Einige dieser Ansätze und Instrumente, die Friedens- und Jugendförderung miteinander verbinden, wurden auf zwei der insgesamt 14 Workshops der Eschborner Fachtage 2003 vorgestellt und diskutiert: „Kinder und Jugendliche in Krisen und Konflikten“ sowie „Kids und Kanonen: Jugendliche und Gewalt“ zeigten, dass Friedens- und Jugendförderung eng miteinander verzahnt sind und einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Entschärfung innergesellschaftlicher Krisen leisten können.

Peace education faces complex and even contradictory challenges. For example, the tension between individual behavioural patterns at micro level and social policy actions at macro level cannot be dismantled. The article explores the various intervention options available within formal and nonformal education.

London (2001): Save the Children (348 Seiten). Inhalt ...................... The recruitment and use of an estimated 300,000 boys and girls in armed conflicts across the world is now widely recognised as a violation of children's rights that demands a robust international response. The strengthening of international law and recognition of the problem of children's military recruitment by the UN Security Council are important achievements. However, these initiatives must be complemented by practical measures that give children, their families and communities viable alternatives to recruitment, that prioritise the release and demobilisation of children form fighting forces and support their reintegration. Children - Not Soldiers provides guidance for those working with children directly involved in armed conflict on these and other key areas. Drawing on existing and emerging lessons of experience from different countries, it highlights issues of special concern and areas where further research is needed. It will be useful for people working directly with children as well as for managers and policy-makers.

Save The Children: A Fighting Chance. London (2004): Save the Children (120 Seiten). 44 Inhalt The purpose of this paper is to provide guidance to policy-makers, advocacy initiatives and field-based programmes. It offers a policy framework, drawing out some recommendations based on global lessons learned. The Save the Children Alliance ‘Guidelines and implications for programming on children associated with armed groups and armed forces (CAAF)’ stipulate that regardless of whether children associated with armed groups and armed forces are in combat roles or so-called support roles, Save the Children believes that children should not be used in war or other forms of armed conflict under any circumstances. The varying factors determining recruitment, the nature of children's association with armed groups and armed forces and the ways in which they leave them means that programmes designed to prevent their participation, promote their release and support reintegration into communities will depend on a solid understanding of the evolving social, political and economic factors and the priorities for action. These guidelines reflect the combined experience and thinking of International Save the Children Alliance members who have worked with children associated with armed groups and armed forces.

Hardcopy: Buchhandel Titel In Westafrika herrscht Krieg, und der zwölfjährige Waise Birahima hat nur eine Chance, um in diesem Chaos zu überleben: Er muss Kindersoldat werden. An der Seite eines erfahrenen Fetischpriesters aus seinem Heimatdorf erlebt er dabei unvorstellbare Grausamkeiten, aber auch Momente, die erfüllt sind von der Magie seiner Vorfahren und der Schönheit seines Landes. Und diese Augenblicke geben Birahima die Kraft, niemals aufzugeben. Bezug Kourouma, Ahmadou : Allah muss nicht gerecht sein. München (2004): Goldmann. Inhalt ...................... Hardcopy: Buchhandel Titel In the Shadow of the Lion is a novel that tells the story of a young girl caught in the grip of internal armed conflict in Africa. It covers issues that humanitarian agencies are grappling with: the problems of people who have lost their homes and possessions, child soldiers, the proliferation of small arms, the abuse of women and girls.
