The Geneva Conventions protect children in armed conflicts by ensuring they receive general and special protections. Children must have age-appropriate access to food, healthcare, and education. The conventions prohibit their recruitment into armed forces and groups, as well as their participation in hostilities. Unlawfully recruited children are entitled to assistance for recovery[1][4]. Denying humanitarian aid to civilians, including children, is prohibited under the Geneva Conventions and can amount to a crime against humanity and a war crime[3]. The conventions emphasize humane treatment for all individuals, including children, during armed conflicts[5].
