Child Soldiers in the Congo: Business as Usual Despite United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and international protocols prohibiting the recruitment and use of child soldiers, there has been too little progress in eliminating this form of child abuse in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). UNSC Resolution 1460 of January 2003 points out “that the conscription or enlistment of children under the age of 15 into the national armed forces or using them to participate actively in hostilities is classified as a war crime by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which recently entered into force.” Resolution 1460 is the result of years of advocacy by the Secretary General’s Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict and the international Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers, of which Refugees International is a member. alertnet.org
