The CNF/CNA joins two other NSAGs from Burma, the Karen National
Liberation Army and the Karenni Army, in signing a Deed of Commitment
and affirming their respect for the "straight-18" principle, which asserts
that children below 18 should not in any way be involved in armed conflict.
The State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), the ruling junta in
Burma, has not signed the Optional Protocol on the Involvement Children
in Armed Conflict, prohibiting states from conscripting and forcibly
recruiting or using children in hostilities.
