Interministerial circular on the prevention, protection and reintegration into the family of children released from armed forces and groups

This interministerial circular was signed in 2013 by the Minister of Justice; the Minister for the Promotion of Women, Children and the Family; the Minister of Internal Security and Civil Protection; the Minister of Territorial Administration and Local Authorities; and the Minister of Defense and Veterans. The circular addresses the protection of children who have been recruited by armed groups. It states that recruited children are victims of the barbarity of adults and that they have been coerced. Military, political, and administrative leaders in the community must be involved in the protection of these children by ensuring that no revenge or retaliation is committed against them or their families.
