Released in June 1998
F T M

It has been commonplace in recent years in areas of conflict and particularly in developing countries to find widespread use of children as soldiers, in government and rebel armies, and Cambodia has been no exception. There has been evidence of child soldiers in Cambodia over a considerable period of time, from the Lon Nol regime, especially under the Khmer Rouge regime, and up to the present day. This report is not intended to be comprehensive, but it will give an account of information uncovered by LICADHO concerning this issue over the last three years.
