For that reason. next week Senator COBURN. who is the ranking member on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law. and I will be holding a Subcommittee hearing on Child Soldiers and the Law. In this hearing. we will explore the persistent use of child soldiers despite the fact that this practice is widely acknowledged as a war crime. Is this persistent crime in part a failure of enforcement? Are reforms needed in U.S. law to criminalize this terrible practice? How is this issue addressed under our immigration laws? Expert witnesses from nongovernmental and faithbased organizations will speak to these issues in our hearing next Tuesday. So too will Ishmael Beab. whose words vividly capture the horror of children at war.
