(Child Soldiers International) – Efforts to ensure effective and durable protection against underage recruitment in Chad must not be relaxed after the UN Secretary-General announces today the delisting of the Chadian armed forces in his annual report on children and armed conflict. This is why, in partnership with UNICEF, Child Soldiers International has published and disseminated a booklet entitled: “A child must not be a soldier!” intended to promote awareness of existing laws and policies banning child recruitment in Chad, and to mobilise military, administrative and judicial authorities, as well as Chadian civil society and international actors, to take an active part in preventing this practice.
