I would like to share this talk by my friend and colleague, Siddharth Chatterjee on demobilizing child soldiers.
Siddharth Chatterjee works for the IFRC as its Chief Diplomat and Head of Strategic Partnerships and International Relations at its HQ in Geneva, Switzerland. Before he worked for the UN and its agencies (i.e. UNICEF) for nearly 14 years. Siddharth thinks that the use of children as combatants in conflicts is amongst the most egregious violations of human and child rights and is a practice that continues unabated. Through his talk, Siddharth Chatterjee will explain how humanitarian diplomacy has made possible to demobilize children during an armed conflict -- rather than waiting for it to end and loss of a generation of children to war.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.

Nice post. I learn something new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon every
day. It's always exciting to read articles from other authors and use something from their web sites.
Look into my web-site; waist to hip ratio
