 Geneva Call has been involved with child soldiers as early as 2001, when it invited the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers to a conference on engaging non-state actors to discuss their experiences in that field.Geneva Call engages armed non-State actors to reduce the effects of armed conflict on children by promoting respect for children’s rights, in particular the prohibition of the recruitment and use of children in hostilities.In November 2010, Geneva Call launched a second "Deed of Commitment", the "Deed of Commitment under Geneva Call for the Protection of Children from the Effects of Armed Conflict".
