Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers
The Coalition is made up of a number of NGOs, including Save the Children Alliance, Amnesty International, Defence for Children International, and Human Rights Watch. The site includes documents on child soldiers, country case studies, treaties and resolutions, and information on conferences, events and publications.

The majority of child soldiers are associated with government-backed paramilitaries, armed opposition groups, factional groups and groups based on ethnic or religious identity
The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers works to prevent the recruitment and use of children as soldiers, to secure their demobilisation and to ensure their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
