Children and Armed Conflict – Experiences by Children as Peacebuilders in Northern Uganda

Contribution by the Children as Peacebuilders – organisation to the Helsinki Process, gathered by Michael Oruni, discusses the risks to the human security and implications of insecurity for young people as experienced by children in Northern Uganda. The Northern Ugandan armed conflict have been called a war against children as over 20 000 children have been abducted and forced to serve in the Lord’s Resistance Army. Children’s paper discusses what the world leaders should do about the children and armed conflict and which are the gaps in the current approach.
