Abstract:
Background and Aim: In Today’s world, at this very time when the need to realize human values is felt as never before in the international community, children should make the most of the totality of their human rights and a healthy and growing life. Despite the trend, abusing children, particularly in the form of terrorist activities and suicide operations, continues to gather pace. With the track of developments pertaining to the realization of the totality of human rights, the international community has endeavored in the form of various international documents to take invaluable and decisive steps in protecting children.
Method: This Research is of Theoretical Type and the Research Method is Descriptive-Analytical and the Method of Data Collection is Library and has Been Done by Referring to Documents, Books and Articles.
Ethical Considerations: In Order to Organize this Research, while Observing the Authenticity of the Texts, Honesty and Fidelity Have Been Observed.
Results: The states, international organizations and institutions and non-governmental human-right advocacy groups in modern, developed countries must help launch a novel human-rights movement to protect the disadvantaged strata, such as children and women. Finally, despite the arguments of human-rights activists and advocates of normative development in defense of the child soldiers' rights being noteworthy, the lack of meaningful improvements on this front may be because global public opinion is still not in tune with the problem of child soldiers. Experience suggests that when an issue reaches a critical level or the pressure from the public opinion and the civil society becomes overwhelming, the international community, in general and the government in particular, move towards normative development in international law. Drawing on library and online sources and international documents, this article aims to examine the children's rights and discuss how to effectively protect them against the crisis of terrorism and the effects of suicide operations on the physical and mental health of the child in the realm of international law.
Conclusion: Boko Haram's use of minors in various regions has caused adverse ethical, physical and psychological consequences for the children. The intensity of the crimes committed by this organization surpasses crimes of terrorist and rebel groups in the past. The available international documents on children help safeguard their rights and well-being, however, these documents lack powerful and effective legal sanctions. To overcome these shortcomings, the states must cooperate and show solidarity as active defenders of human rights and adopt the necessary measuresh.
