Compelled
to become instruments of war, to kill and be killed, child soldiers are forced
to give violent expression to the hatreds of adults
My
mandate...is to promote the protection, rights and welfare of children...
"the
time has come to make the protection of children -- all our children -- a common
cause that can unite us across the boundaries of our political orientation, religious
affiliation and cultural traditions. We must reclaim our lost taboos, and make
the abuse and brutalization of children simply unaccepetable."
