As the children are tortured, beat, and threatened to join the army, the militias around the world invovling children in such atrocities have violated Article 5. Also, because the children are being driven from schooling where children should be (and many want to be there), Article 26 has been violated. Through out the essay we will see the effectiveness of legal and non legal responses to the issue of child soldiers. There have been many ways the international community has responded both legally and non legally to try and regulate the use of child soldiers. Examples are Conventions on the Rights of the Child (1989) Article 32: States Parties recognize the right of the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or
If not for Kony, people would not have known so much about the situation in Uganda, and Africa, and the senseless abduction of children to be used for child soldiers. The Invisible Children Organization is trying their utmost best to make the world aware of Kony’s senseless acts by media campaigns and advertising. Journalists exposed Kony to the world with a documentary called “Kony 2012”. This documentary tells the story of the horrific acts against children and their families. Armed Kony forces abducted children, sometimes forced these children to kill their families and made them soldiers.
Child Soldiers in Uganda The Lord’s Resistance Army, a rebel war group in Uganda, is a major part of the ongoing twenty-year war and is responsible for abducting and brainwashing children to become sufficient killing machines. These actions have left people disheveled and worrisome for their children. Parents with children in Uganda live in government camps ridden with disease, poverty and starvation to avoid attacks from the Lords Resistance Army and hope that their children won’t be abducted. Parents with abducted children hope for their children to return, but these children now have a new family. If abducted children are able to manage a successful escape, they tend to have a hard time living as a part of the community again.
Children suffering as solider Children are suffering for be used as “tool” in a lot ways by the real solider. To get to real understand of why those children is being lost and unequal in many way for using children as a young solider. The Political International community are trying their best to help stop this terrible countries for using children in an abuse way. The Political team will keep on fighting to get other countries to sign a new treaty to follow the policy. The other halves of 79 countries are already followed.
Orwell creates a build-up of conflict between the Party and the People by using language techniques, like juxtaposition, and also different lengths of sentence structures to emphasise conflict in the extract along with immoral themes. The immoral themes in the book include that when children grows up they become junior spies and then they monitor their parents for the party (to make sure no crimes are committed such as thought crime), this is immoral as the party have turned the peoples own children against them and have turned young innocent minds into hardworking, emotionless machines. An example of this is when Mrs Parsons’ children (part 1 chapter 2) interrogate Winston for thought crime. This already creates conflict between the people and the party as the party have so much power they can take away peoples children and turn them against them, children are regarded as a parent most important asset and in 1984 their ripped apart from them ,emotionally, which creates hatred towards the party. Orwell uses Juxtaposition as he takes a child which is normally perceived as innocent, loving and naïve but Orwell uses those characteristics of a child and makes them devious, obedient and smart to trap and suss
This is so, due to the fact that the youth are next in line to become adults, to determine politics, and to earn the money that will make the world spin round and round. Yet even with this destined to happen, countries around the world continue to abduct children and use them in the field of battle. As a result, child soldiers face learning disabilities such as attention problems, memory difficulty, and much more during the process of reeducation (253-254). Sadly, only a certain percentage of child soldiers actually take the time to reeducate themselves, leaving numerous uneducated youth to someday take on the task of contributing to their society. In addition to learning disabilities, war also results in collective trauma at the family and community levels.
Crime is one of the most socially costly potential outcomes for maltreatment. The link between child maltreatment and crime is all over the news. According to a CNN report, the Washington D.C. sniper, John Muhammad, “was regularly and severely beaten as a child by several relatives, including an uncle who beat another child to death...” (Malvo, 2004). As a child, the "Boston Strangler," Albert DeSalvo, was actually sold off as a slave by his alcoholic father (Scott, 2011). There have been a few studies done to link the effects of childhood maltreatment to crime with a result of little hard evidence.
Now before we start on why smacking is harmful, can I see a show of hands of people who have been smacked before? Also people who plan on smacking your children when you grow up and have kids yourself? So first of all, why do we smack your children? Is it because they are out of hand? Is it the only method of discipline that works?
The critics of video games demanded that stricter controls such as American gun control the media then swept up the story and labelled video games “murder simulators”. But time has shown us that the individuals in this massacre, and in other incidents of shooting sprees, the purpatrators were wither victims of abuse at the hands of adults, were mentally disturbed or were the victims of extensive alienation and abuse at the hands of their peers. I believe that these events could have been avoided with intervention from the school or the family who should have seen the degeneration in the persons attitudes. Critics claim that violence breeds violence. So why is it only video games that take the blame.
Evil can be used to frighten innocents. Mr Karle is an example of this in 'The Gathering'. Mr Karle tries to frighten the children into submission by enforcing the rules more than necessary. In real life this can happen between parents and their children as the parents think that they are just enforcing the rules, but the children think that the parents are being too demanding and might become withdrawn from their friends. Evil corrupts even the most respected and lawful men.
