Colombia's Deadly Double Standard on Child Soldiers The recent Colombian military air strike that killed 10 people, including three minors, has highlighted the country's troubled relationship with armed groups' use of child soldiers.
While President Abelardo de la Espriella vows to crack down on these groups, his administration's actions reveal a disturbing double standard.
The victims allegedly belonged to a dissident faction of the FARC, which refused to sign onto the 2016 peace agreement.
