Child Soldiers Drugs

To begin with, child soldiers deserve amnesty because they don’t choose or are manipulated into becoming a child soldier.When children are put into a war most of the time they don’t have a choice or are manipulated into thinking what they are doing is okay.One

At a young age it’s difficult to grasp the concept of death, but as time passes, the youth turn into the old and the old turn into the deceased. Whether people like it or not, death plays a role in their lives and it’s something no one can escape. Child soldiers are forced to kill, and if they don’t then they too are killed. Young children are trained into fierce warriors every day, and stopping this action has proven to be difficult. It can be argued from a recruiter that brings in children that children are disposable, easy to train, and almost infinite. Most of these kids never receive a chance to do what they want in life, furthermore it seems like children, especially in Africa, are being picked off the streets they’re grapes on a grapevine. The International Justice System appeals to cases like this everyday, as it can be a struggle to understand if a child is truly remorseful, and if they deserve amnesty. Children who are forced into crime should be given a chance to redeem themselves, as they generally have no intention to cause harm.

In my opinion, child soldiers should not be granted amnesty. Child soldiers should serve at least some years to think about what they did. Letting someone go after killing so many people is not fair to the deceased family. In addition, all child soldiers should take a lie detector test to prove if they were forced to be soldiers or wanted to be soldiers. Everyone should be forgiven, but sometimes forgiving is hard to do.

Around the globe, in the past and present, children are being recruited to fight as soldiers in wars sometimes as young as 5 and up until they are 18 or older. These children soldiers should not be given amnesty because giving them amnesty could give others encouragement to keep using them, everyone has the same rights which means everyone has the same consequences, and some child soldiers have committed the most violent and harsh acts in wartime, and they can be dangerous to keep in our country.

Imagine being taken from your house and your family and being forced to fight in a war. This is what some child soldiers have to go through. Not to mention after they are taken they have to risk their lives and be forced to kill. Some are even as young as 5. Child soldiers should receive amnesty if they were young when they were taken, were forced, and show remorse after they were rescued and understand what they did.

These kids should be given amnesty because they had no control over what they did and other nations should punish this country because using kids under 18 years old is considered a war crime and its not the kids fault this happened. These kids are not just drugged they were also taken out of school and out

One significant piece of evidence to support the claim that child soldiers are both the victims and be given amnesty is Ishmael who is a former child soldier who has been given amnesty and he tells others about his experience as a child soldier. He was taking refuge in a camp and forced to be a soldier. Before, he and other child soldiers went on missions they were given drugs and he does not remember much of what he had done. This piece of evidence supports the claim that child soldiers are the victims and should be given amnesty, because it shows that they do not have a choice in becoming a soldier and are given drugs so they are not are thinking clearly and they don’t know what they are doing.

Child soldiers do deserve amnesty, as long as they go through therapy and mental rehabilitation. Child soldiers are often forcibly recruited, so most of them don’t want to hurt or kill. Although some say child soldiers don’t deserve amnesty, most of the child soldiers don’t want to kill or harm others. And although some child soldiers want to hurt and/or kill others, all child soldiers deserve amnesty because they are just kids; so they should have therapy or mental rehabilitation before total forgiveness, so in all, all child soldiers deserve amnesty somehow.

A lot of young soldiers had no choice and were forced into being violent and because of this, child soldiers should be given amnesty. First reason why child soldiers should be granted amnesty because this child soldiers are only forced in the position of being a soldier. Although there are a lot of evidence on why child soldiers should be given amnesty, others argue that they have other choices. But as young kid, it might be too risky for them to make other decisions and not follow the orders. In additional, they are brainwashed and forced to do drugs by their leaders.

Many child soldiers have done very bad things to innocent people.Child soldiers are responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. Many may argue that drugs and alcohol influenced the children to make the decisions that they should not have made. It takes too many resources to figure out if they are still a threat to our society. Even after intense counseling and therapy, we will never know for sure that they are cured unless we let them into the public's eye. Child soldiers should not deserve amnesty.

But if you yourself had the choice to either die or become a soldier what would you choose? Exactly, that is why most of the captured children, like Ishmael choose to become a soldier instead of dieing. Ishmael now knows that the things that he did were horrible, and says that he didn’t even know that he was fighting on the wrong side of the fight. We believe that if these children are given amnesty, like Ishmael, they should at least go through some recovering first. They need to be on rehab for mental health for the drugs they were forced to take, they should not be allowed to own a weapon, and finally they should be greatly sorry for what they did they

They don’t deserve rehabilitation, let alone amnesty. People have expressed this belief with phrases such as, “child soldiers are no different from child criminals” (Debatewise) or, “these children knew exactly what they were doing and should not be excused from their actions simply because they are thought to be too young to take responsibility” (Debatewise). It cannot be denied that these statements have some truth to them, however harsh they may be. A nine-year-old in America who commits a crime shouldn’t be treated differently than a nine-year-old in Iraq with an army alongside him and a gun on his shoulder. And yet, if a juvenile American offender can be rehabilitated, child soldiers should be granted the same

How would you define ‘child soldier?’ Child soldiers are defined as ‘any children under the age of 18 who are recruited by a state or non-state armed group.’ It is estimated that there are about 300,000 child soldiers that are active in conflicts around the world. I believe child soldier should be given amnesty because drugs were involved, most were forced into the situation, and they were robbed of their innocence. Drugs can play a role in people’s behavior, no matter if it's an adult, a teen, or a kid.

All around the world more than 10 million children under the age of 18 are fighting in a war. More than half voluntarily, and the other fourth forced. These children are drugged, and taught that it is good to be a slaughterer, a murderer. Yes, some don’t have a choice. But to think of all the things they were mindlessly taught. Do you really think they can change, just like that? Child soldiers have been responsible for some of the most brutal and violent acts in wartime, and many who are released into the real world, end up going back into their old ways. Not prosecuting child soldiers may encourage commanders to use more child soldiers to commit war crimes that would otherwise be punished if an adult did them. Do we really want a bunch of

Worldwide, the use of child soldiers is a huge issue. Today, there are over 300,000 child soldiers worldwide. Every one of these soldiers are heavily armed and dangerous. They have been becoming a threat to America and the world. No matter their age, they have done terrible thing in behalf of terrible causes. Even as America continues to bring these kids to back in hope to rescue them, most if not all attempts to civilize them have failed. These kids have been swindled, drugged and brainwashed. There is simply no hope for them to return to their right mind.
