Narcis Misanovic is one of the hundreds of children who took part in the 1991-1995 Balkan wars. The first part of the documentary is about local child soldiers, while the second part looks at the broader context. The documentary sends a strong message to the existing army units and commanders in the region that children should never be used in any armed conflict. It gives a voice to former child soldiers, now young adults, who reflect upon their experience. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child prohibits engaging minors in war operations. However, despite international conventions, nearly 300 thousand children are currently involved in 33 international conflicts. Mirjana Rakela talks to experts and RFE journalists who have covered conflicts from the South Caucasus to Afghanistan and witnessed the use of minors in war zones. |
