United States: Bush Signs Law on Child Soldiers
Measure to Prosecute Recruiters Abroad Puts Commanders on Notice


Under a new law signed today by US President George W. Bush, leaders of military forces and armed groups who have recruited child soldiers may be arrested and prosecuted in the United States, Human Rights Watch said today. The law could apply to leaders of dozens of forces that have recruited and used child soldiers in over 20 armed conflicts.


US: Congress Acts to Prosecute Recruiters of Child Soldiers
Press Release, September 15, 2008



The Child Soldiers Accountability Act makes it a federal crime to recruit knowingly or to use soldiers under the age of 15 and permits the United States to prosecute any individual on US soil for the offense, even if the children were recruited or served as soldiers outside the United States. The law imposes penalties of up to 20 years, or up to life in prison if their action resulted in the child s death. It also allows the United States to deport or deny entry to individuals who have knowingly recruited children as soldiers.

The US is saying to the world that using child soldiers is a serious crime and that it will take action, said Jo Becker, children s rights advocate for Human Rights Watch. Military commanders who use children can no longer come to the United States without the risk of ending up in jail.

The legislation was introduced by Senator Richard Durbin of Illinois and adopted unanimously by both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate in September 2008.
