Child Soldiers and Their Refugee Problems

February 16th, 2009 by Leonard Birdsong


Birdsong has only lately come to learn that there have been about 300,000 child soldiers who have fought in wars and rebellions across the world since the 1990′s.  Birdsong’s student, Shelya Nieves, has researched the problems of child soldiers and the problems they present in the context of refugee law.  She has written an outstanding paper on the subject that she has allowed me to post on the blog.  You will find this information very enlighting.
