Mode of Citation : SILC (Standard Indian Legal Citation) 2018-2019 Abhivyakti Law Journal iii Principal’s Page Dear Students, I am privileged to present the annual volume of Abhivyakti Law Journal to you. I am very glad to share with you a change that is introduced in this Journal from the current academic year. A new section of articles, research papers written by Ph.D. scholars and faculty members of the ILS Law College is introduced. This will benefit the writers and will enrich the content in terms of variety of subjects and scholarship. It is encouraging to note the wide range of subjects the students have chosen to write their articles. They have discussed Animal Rights and Human Rights, Law and Technology, Arbitration and Mediation, Constitutional Provisions, Feminism, International Law and many more other areas. I am sure that it will make an interesting reading for all. The articles have unraveled the close connection between law and life. The year 2018-19 has been an eventful one for legal fraternity. The Supreme Court of India remained in focus for some brilliant judgments popularly called as Sabarimala, Right to Privacy and Aadhar judgment and also for inappropriate procedures adopted while handling the charges of sexual harassment against the Chief Justice of India making us uncomfortable and restless. The ILS deeply mourns the sad demise of our two teachers Shri H.P. Deshmukh and Dr. Anupa Thapliyal, who taught and shaped lives of hundreds of students and contributed immensely to the growth of the College. The destiny also snatched away Prof. Madhav Menon who gave a new direction and prestige to legal education in India. He was a well-wisher and supporter of the ILS Law College. We pay our respectful homage to all of them. We will always cherish their fond memories. I congratulate the Abhivyakti Editorial Board for their efforts to produce a quality journal and wish all the students best of luck! Ms. Vaijayanti Joshi Principal iv ILS Law College 2018-2019 2018-2019 Abhivyakti Law Journal v Editorial We invite you to read yet another interesting and thought-provoking annual edition of the Abhivyakti Law Journal for this academic year 2018-19. With our college just a couple of years away from reaching centenary celebrations, it is heartening to see our students refurbish our cherished hopes with their academic excellence. The Abhivyakti Law Journal is like a colourful bouquet of knowledge wherein each submission of our students is a fragrant and bright flower of learning. The bouquet includes thought provoking articles, essays, case comments and legislative comments, and a project report. This edition also introduces a new segment on the research articles authored by the Ph.D. research students of the ILS Law College Ph. D. Research Centre. This year, once again, our students have further scaled up the ladder of great expectations by making this college journal a forum to present their flowing thoughts on a plethora of Law and Legal affairs. The submissions are on as varied a subject such as Business laws, International Public law, Aircraft and Space laws, on the trending Arbitration laws, Religious Rights and even laws relating to Feminism, Mining, Yoga, River disputes and Animal Welfare. We believe that these reflect our students’ keen commitment to understanding, comprehending, grasping, assimilating, conceptualizing and visualizing legal knowledge. On a side note, For the future student authors: “Writing means sharing.

Introduction The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 19891 (“UNCRC”) categorically prohibits the use of children in war operations. Notwithstanding such conventions, minors have been and continue to be used as soldiers in armed conflicts throughout the world. Be it, the American Revolution or the World Wars I and II to the Sierra Leone Civil War and to the modern-day insurgencies, armed conflicts and civil wars in Afghanistan, Colombia, Iraq, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, minors have always been trained and used in combatant roles and for the purposes of propaganda and even for tactical advantages.
