Armenia has joined the Paris principles for the protection of children from illegal recruitment or exploitation by armed forces, Armenia Today reports.
Angola, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Costa Rica and San Marino approved the principles at a session of the UN General Assembly on September 26. This means that the number of states supporting the Paris principles increased from 95 to 100. The UNICEF said that over half of UN members have joined.
The Paris principles were approved in February 2007.
