". – Mr President, I do not have any information on the involvement of the UK in these investigations and studies. It is clear that the real value of these studies is their ability to throw light on the whole issue and to raise awareness. Knowledge, as such, is a strong weapon.
As regards the specific issue of child soldiers, where we have set in place a personal initiative on my behalf, there is a scheme under way with Unicef to try to establish a real information system that could produce reports, using a comprehensive standard base in order to establish meaningful and credible statistics. At present, we only have the figures that have been flying around for the past five or six years. So this scheme aims also to exert pressure and keep everybody better informed.
However, the core of this problem is not only poverty, it is also greed. It is a moral issue. Highlighting the problem of greed could be part of stronger work in this field."@en1
