The report focuses on the ongoing use of Palestinian children as human shields by the Israeli army, and their recruitment as informers by the Israeli Security Agency, in violation of Article 2 of the Optional Protocol, ratified by Israel in 2005. The issue of recruitment of children by Palestinian armed groups does not fall in the remit of the Committee. However, a report on the Palestinian armed groups' behaviour regarding the terms of the Optional Protocol is being prepared and will be released in the near future.
