Abstract

ABSTRACT

Child protection is all activities to ensure and protect children and their rights so that they can live, grow, develop and participate optimally in accordance with human dignity and protection from violence and discrimination. War or armed conflict is an activity that has an impact on humanity such as indiscriminate killing, destruction of public and private facilities and infrastructure, seizure of property, and so forth. The parties most vulnerable to be affected by conditions of war or armed conflict are civil society. Therefore, in armed conflict there must be rules to protect the rights of civilians, especially children, so they do not become victims in war or armed conflict. With this research we will know how legal protection is given to children and is aimed at the consequences of armed disputes that will affect or affect children. As part of a civilian population, children who do not participate in hostilities obtain public protection without any disadvantage based on ethnicity, nationality, religion or political opinion, and are intended to alleviate the suffering caused by war. Children in humanitarian law are specially treated. Their position, however, should not be applied arbitrarily let alone being shot and bombarded blindly.
