Capítulo J.6
Edición: Matías Irarrázaval & Andres Martin
Traducción: Fernanda Prieto-Tagle & Marina Romero

The Paris Commitments adopted in Paris in February 2007 are an expression of strengthened international resolve to prevent the recruitment of children and highlight the actions governments can and should take to protect children affected by conflict. The Paris Principles are the operational guidelines related to sustainable reintegration of children formerly associated with armed forces and groups.
