child soldiers In South Sudan.
Both parties in the south Sudan government have collected children from 13 years and up. This is considered a crime if the children are under 15 yrs old. Most of the time the children are forced to join. Their human rights are being violated because they are not yet supposed to fight in wars risking to get killed. also because they should have freedom to make their own desition.
