If we fail to do this, then I'm afraid, solutions will be hard to come by. I am of the firm conviction that the burden of responsibility does not lie on any one person or set of people.
Various people bear responsibility in varying degrees.
In the first place, the parents have great responsibility for the involvement of their children in armed conflict. The family is therefore the first place where the child begins to cultivate values and vices. If the parents use abusive languages in his presence, he learns to abuse other people. If in a conflict situation like Sierra Leone, the parents give toy guns to children as gifts, he begins to think of guns when he sees them. If he is given books as gifts, he cultivates a culture of learning.
