An examination of child soldiering notes that an estimated 300,000 persons under age 18 are actively involved in military activities worldwide. Leaders find them easily intimidated or manipulated & willing to perform dangerous assignments. Universalist arguments against child soldiering are based on concepts of universal human rights, while contextualist arguments accept child soldiering as long as it can be justified on ethical, social, cultural, or economic grounds. Contextualists point to the important role played by children in liberation struggles against systems of oppression & genocide. In spite of their differences, both discourses acknowledge the harm done to child soldiers, as well as the desirability of preventive strategies that recognize both the ethical dimensions & issues of injustice. A broad framework of prevention is suggested that links macro- & microstructural levels, respects local culture, & stresses youth participation/leadership. Top priority is given to poverty reduction/equitable resource allocation; construction of more effective legal/human rights standards; improved protection for children at greatest risk of soldiering; & development of programs for demobilizing/reintegrating former underaged soldiers. 8 References.

Globally, large numbers of children and adolescents are displaced by armed conflict, which poses significant threats to their mental health, psychosocial well-being, and protection. Although humanitarian work to support mental health, psychosocial well-being, and protection has done considerable good, this paper analyzes how humanitarian action is limited by excessive reliance on a top-down approach. Although the focus is on settings of armed conflict, the analysis offered in this paper applies also to the wider array of humanitarian settings that spawn increasing numbers of refugees globally.
