Abstract: The research aims to study the children’s international protection during armed conflicts according with rules of international humanitarian law, at time when violations against children have increased as result of the expansion of international and non-international armed conflicts, especially in the Arab world, where children are killed daily, and to assess the effectiveness of the methods and systems of protection established for children in international conventions, to ensure that measures are taken towards demobilizing children used in armed conflicts, and what is necessary towards their rehabilitation and recovery, and working to put an end to impunity and punish perpetrators. The research concluded that there are many international agreements and charters that decided to protect children during armed conflicts, and they are in need of a new and comprehensive international convention that regulates what concerns children during armed conflicts, similar to the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, especially after the practical reality proved the lack of their protection in the Geneva Conventions of 1949, and the international community is in urgent need to activate the methods and systems of international protection of children during the currently established armed conflicts.
