According to the estimates, 40% of our planet’s arm ed forces or armed groups deploy “child combatants” for different tasks, while the international community is still struggling against this form of the abuse of children. The global nature of child soldiery raises many que stions in many fields, because it has deep politica l, social, economic, military, environmental, ethnic and relig ious etc. roots and far reaching consequences in th e socalled Third World.
