الاستهداف العسكري للطفل المجند في العمليات العدائية

Abstract EN

This study focuses on the subject of military targeting of the recruited child in hostilities within the scope of international humanitarian law and international criminal law.

International standards tend to set a minimum age of 15 years for the recruitment of children, regardless of the contexts in which these child soldiers participate and why they may actively and effectively participate in hostilities.

Moreover, these children may be targeted in the same way as their adult counterparts, although there may be ethical or practical reasons to avoid being targeted if possible, there is no obligation under international law to treat them in a different way than adult combatants, creating a gap that requires debate to fill this legal void.
