Abstract
Description
El reclutamiento de niños y niñas soldados es una problemática que continúa vigente y que mantiene en vilo a toda la comunidad internacional. Es por eso, que el presente trabajo expone cuáles son los principales instrumentos del Derecho Internacional Público que tienen como finalidad proteger a las niñas y niños, prohibiendo su participación en los conflictos armados. A su vez, se describe cuál ha sido el rol desempeñado por Naciones Unidas junto a UNICEF para poder frenar esta problemática. A fin de ejemplificar esta situación, se utilizaron los casos de Siria, Sudán del Sur y República Democrática del Congo. Luego se invita al debate de cuál debe ser el camino a seguir, tanto por Naciones Unidas junto a UNICEF y los Instrumentos del Derecho Internacional Público para ponerle fin a esta problemática.
