Critically assess the extent to which the right of self- defence permits action to be taken in response to attacks by non-state actors. -

“We must pay attention to the millions of children of this generation who are caught
up in armed conflicts. How can we protect them from the worst consequences of war?
And when hostilities cease, how can we take the war out of them? By eliminating
landmines, controlling the sale of small arms, raising the age of recruitment … are all
essential measures. By reuniting children with their families and providing programs
of physical and psychological rehabilitation.”
