(Human Rights Watch) – Dear President Obama, As organizations that have long worked to end the recruitment and use of child soldiers around the world, we are writing regarding the determinations you will make in the coming weeks on whether or not to issue waivers under the Child Soldiers Prevention Act (CSPA) for governments implicated in the use of child soldiers. In this last year of your administration, we urge you to use this law to its full potential by rejecting the use of full waivers. By doing so, you will make clear that the United States does not tolerate the use of children as soldiers.
