- Summary:
- The recruitment of children raises many important questions, the most important being whether children should be recruited at all and what is the definition of a child. The most internationally accepted definition for a child soldier is established in the Cape Town Principles 1997 by UNICEF: "any person under 18 years of age who is part of any kind of regular or irregular armed force or armed group in any capacity."1 However, this is not a legal definition.
