Abstract

The use of children in armed conflicts as soldiers is a persisting issue globally, and India is not an exception. India is a signatory to the 2002 Optional Protocol and thus should not employ soldiers under the age of eighteen; however, non-governmental factions are using children within India as soldiers. This paper intends to discuss the use of children in armed conflicts and the life of children as ex-soldiers.
