Evran Mersin Bringing Awareness Toward The
Terrible Doctrine

• Evran Mersin states It is immoral that adults
  should want children to fight their wars for
  themThere is simply no excuse, its not an
  acceptable argument for arming children. There
  can be no moral excuse, but the dark reality is
  that this terrible practice continues apace.
• Therefore, all G20 governments must support all
  local, regional, and international efforts that
  seek to end this terrible doctrine Evran
  Mersin states.

Evran Mersin Seek to Demobilize The Doctrine

• These include 1) criminalizing the practice by
  prosecuting those leaders who abuse children in
  this way, 2) taking the profits out of the
  practice by sanctioning any who trade with
  child-soldier groups, 3) providing aid to
  programs which seek to demobilize and
  rehabilitate former child soldiers, and 4)
  helping to curb the spread of illegal small arms
  to rebel and terrorist groups who bring children
  into the realm of war.
• Supporting such efforts is not simply the moral
  thing to do, but is also in the interest of all
  governments, for the doctrines spread can only
  have negative harms on all conflicts and
  regions Evran Mersin states.

Evran Mersin Experienced The Harsh Reality Of
Today

• Evran Mersin is telling us at the same time
  though, the hard reality is that experienced
  soldiers must be trained and prepared for what to
  do in the eventualities in which they do come
  face to face with child soldiers. Indeed, in one
  of the first Western military engagements with
  child soldiers, the results were not so optimal.
• In late 2000, a patrol of British Army soldiers
  operating in Sierra Leone was surrounded by a
  rogue militia, mainly made up of children. The
  entire unit was taken hostage when its squad
  commander reportedly refused to open fire on what
  he described as children armed with AK-47s. A
  few weeks later, British special forces had to
  launch a rescue assault. The battle left one
  British SAS trooper dead, scores wounded, and up
  to 150 enemy dead, including many children.
