Obama waives sanctions on countries that use child soldiers

Posted By Josh Rogin Monday, October 1, 2012

U.S. President Barack Obama issued a new executive order last week to fight human trafficking, touting his administration's handling of the issue.

"When a little boy is kidnapped, turned into a child soldier, forced to kill or be killed -- that's slavery," Obama said in a speech at the Clinton Global Initiative. "It is barbaric, and it is evil, and it has no place in a civilized world. Now, as a nation, we've long rejected such cruelty."

But for the third year in a row, Obama has waived almost all U.S. sanctions that would punish certain countries that use child soldiers, upsetting many in the human rights community.

Is THAT in your face, or what?

We have to get tis up on Junipersec too. As much as we have screamed about the islamic child-soldiering and crimes against humanity.

This is Obama flying in the face of international law. I’m also going to drop his little gem into iCare..
