Postavení a rehabilitace dětských vojáků: případová studie Barmy
Kolocová, Tereza
Despite progress in the protection of human rights, child soldiers continue to be a problem in many countries around the world. One of the worst cases of child recruitment occurs in Burma, where this phenomenon has been ongoing for four decades, and children are recruited into both the official army Tatmadaw and ethnic armed groups. The bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of child soldiers within the Burmese Tatmadaw armed forces from 1989 to the present day and examines the potential for their rehabilitation. Using established methods of disarmament, demobilization, and rehabilitation of former African child soldiers, the thesis identifies the barriers to the successful rehabilitation of former child soldiers. The analysis demonstrates that the obstacles to successful rehabilitation are the Burmese authorities, who have long ignored the problem of child soldiers and restricted access to organizations that could provide assistance, as well as inadequate education and healthcare services, and the ongoing armed conflict. Disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration programs (DDR) that have helped rehabilitate former child soldiers worldwide could only be successful in Burma if the government were willing to collaborate with international organizations on the process of implementation. However, it has not happened yet.
