Abstract
Background: Beyond the apparent damage caused by violence, armed conflicts can have significant indirect health effects. Destabilising systems of healthcare and fostering unfavourable economic and surroundings, also produce long-lasting political instability, which hinders efforts to lower mother and infant deaths.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the legal ramifications of electronic child recruiting for the armed forces, emphasising how these relate to international humanitarian law.
Design: This research employs a qualitative doctrinal analysis of the legislation about electronic child recruitment, which is a great idea. The relevant treaties, legal doctrine, and precedent that comprise this subject's main information source will be examined.
Findings: Research indicates that implementing the law should precede development requirements, implying that the laws necessary for achieving their purpose are currently in place.
Originality: This work adds to the body of knowledge by offering a thorough analysis of the legal issues related to the electronic recruiting of minors.
