            Subtitle B--Child Soldier Prevention Act of 2017

SEC. 221. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The recruitment or use of children in armed conflict is 
        unacceptable for any government or government supported entity 
        receiving United States assistance.
            (2) The recruitment or use of children in armed conflict, 
        including direct combat, support roles, and sexual slavery, 
        occurred during 2015-2016 in Afghanistan, South Sudan, Sudan, 
        Burma, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Nigeria, Rwanda, 
        Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.
            (3) Entities of the Government of Afghanistan, particularly 
        the Afghan Local Police and Afghan National Police, continue to 
        recruit children to serve as combatants or as servants, 
        including as sex slaves.
            (4) Police forces of the Government of Afghanistan 
        participate in counter-terrorism operations, direct and 
        indirect combat, security operations, fight alongside regular 
        armies, and are targeted for violence by the Taliban as well as 
        by other opposition groups.
            (5) In February 2016, a 10-year-old boy was assassinated by 
        the Taliban after he had been publically honored by Afghan 
        local police forces for his assistance in combat operations 
        against the Taliban.
            (6) Recruitment and use of children in armed conflict by 
        government forces has continued in 2016 in South Sudan with the 
        return to hostilities.
            (7) At least 650 children have been recruited and used in 
        armed conflict in South Sudan in 2016, and at least 16,000 have 
        been recruited since that country's civil war began in 2013.
