Protection of<br />
the Child Rights<br />
under the Geneva<br />
Conventions<br />

and Social Faculty Georgian technical University<br />
The article discusses the children who are the subject of special protection<br />
of the Geneva Conventions the Protocols thereof.<br />
The statistical data show that armed conflicts affect the civil society, especially<br />
children. This is not a sheer coincidence because mostly the children are<br />
those who comprise the group of population whose rights are violated in a<br />
war. The crimes committed against the children during the armed conflicts<br />
lead to catastrophic (devastating) physical and psychological results.<br />
There are many cases of using minors as soldiers. And there are many cases<br />
when children are victims of sexual violence.<br />
The article canvasses not only the facts but also the current mechanisms of<br />
child protection as well as the cases which were heard by the Military Tribunals<br />
of Rwanda and Yugoslavia. It also offers probable measures to be introduced<br />
in order to the make a certain contribution to the protection of the child<br />
rights during armed conflicts.<br />
