"Hub Exclusive: Ban-Ki Moon calls for action to "stamp out" recruitment of child soldiers
UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon speaks exclusively to WITNESS' Priscila Neri on the occasion of Red Hand Day - the international day calling for action to end the recruitment and use of child soldiers.
"As the Secretary-General of the United Nations I have seen many human rights abuses - very appalling... And this issue of child soldiers is certainly one of the most serious human rights violations - and it is a crime to recruit children for the purpose of war - and it is just unacceptable."
Priscila interviewed Secretary-General Moon at an event at Unicef in New York City to commemorate Red Hand Day, 12th February 2009.
