The right of the child to life and protection from torture in international human rights law (a comparative study with islamic Sharia Law)
The current era has witnessed numerous international and internal armed conflicts, which have led to increase in problems faced by children, and particularly in Arab and Islamic states. They have led to a heightening in the number of armed gangs and terrorism which has resulted in bodily infringements including murder, assault, and abduction for the purposes of prostitution or the trade in human organs. The civil wars in various states, and particularly those that were started during the Arab Spring, have led to the killing and displacement of millions of children.
