Summary: This report provides supplementary information on Canada’s initial report on the implementation of the CRC’s OPAC. It raises concerns about the impact of the Canadian military’s activities on children’s rights and well-being (e.g. child combatants). The expansion of the Forces could engender recruitment campaigns that target vulnerable children. It questions the impact of targeted recruitment campaigns and the ensuing training upon young Aboriginal Canadians. Meanwhile, government programmes do not target children from war-affected countries living in Canada. pdf: http://www.crin.org/docs/Canada_OPAC_Report_CCRC.doc
