Ask the UN to address the recruitment of children for criminal and terrorist activities.

Created by T.B. on March 28, 2013

I'm requesting that Susan Rice ask the UN to consider action addressing the recruitment of children for criminal or terrorist activities. Recent news from Mexico reporting the use of children as young as 11 in criminal activities and from Pakistan reporting children from 13 to 16 being used for bombings is abhorrent. Just as the UN has taken a stand on child labor, it needs to act against these other misuses of children.
