Abstract: The analyses of armed conflict revealed that children are invisible and are typically regarded as passive, incidental victims or inconsequential actors. In any internal armed conflict or intrastate, ethno-political conflicts, however, minors play an increasing role both as soldiers and along with other non-combatants, as targets and victims in fighting at the community level. This article seeks to explore the impacts of armed conflict on minors. By examining the impact, the article argues that conflicts affect minors in two main ways-direct and indirect. The article does not only limit itself to the impact but also investigate the reasons why minors do get involved in armed conflicts. The impact raised in this section pushes the article to delve into the available law on the subject that can be used to remedy the situation of minors during and after non-international conflict.
