Iran recruiting children for security roles as war escalates: Human Rights Watch | DW News
Human Rights Watch says Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is recruiting children as young as 12 for roles linked to the conflict, including checkpoint duties, patrols and other support activities.The rights group warns that placing minors at or near military sites exposes them to serious risk, particularly as Iran faces sustained strikes from the United States and Israel. Under international law, the recruitment of children under the age of 15 could constitute a war crime.
In this DW analysis, we examine the risks facing these children and the legal implications of their involvement. We speak to Bill Van Esveld, Associate Director of the Children’s Rights Division at Human Rights Watch, about how widespread the recruitment is, whether “support roles” reduce legal responsibility, and what accountability mechanisms may apply.
