Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the impact of armed conflicts, explicitly on children. Methodologically, the research is based on a qualitative case study approach, using documentary analysis of UN and UNHCR reports, resolutions and statements from international organisations, as well as the international and regional press information. The results of the analysis show the impact of an armed conflict on children, affecting their development and childhood. The paper shows the psychological consequences derived from the number of casualties and lack of provisions, such as medicine and food, and from the impact of displacement.
