How to Fight, How to Kill: Child Soldiers in Liberia

Submitted by crinadmin on Thu, 05/02/2004 - 10:02

Summary: This report documents how more
than 15,000 child soldiers fought on
all sides of the Liberian civil war, and
that many units were composed
primarily of children. The report
argues that establishing a firm peace
in the West African nation will
depend on the successful
reintegration of child soldiers into
civil society.
