The Code of Childhood and Adolescents addresses numerous issues of direct relevance to the ‘Children and Armed Conflict’ agenda, including (as outlined in Article 20) protection for children against:
- rape and other forms of sexual violence;
- kidnapping, forced displacement, and illegal transfers to other countries;
- the general impact of armed conflict;
- recruitment and use by illegal armed groups;
- torture and all kinds of cruel, inhuman, humiliating and degrading treatment and punishment, forced disappearance and arbitrary detention; and
- anti-personnel mines.
