The Legal Status of Children in Terrorism.pdfCecilia Polizzi
In this report, the CRTG Working Group addresses one of the most critical legal challenges pertaining to #children in #terrorism. How to classify and treat children associated with extremist actors? Are these children victims, perpetrators, or both? We offer guidance to policymakers and justice professionals in legal status determination, applicable frameworks, and intervention measures.
Main discussion outcomes:
- Children recruited and used by terrorist and violent extremist actors shall be considered and treated primarily as victims.
- To consider and treat children primarily as victims does not imply leniency or that the child should be granted immunity for criminal acts. It rather speaks to the applicability of child rights and juvenile justice principles and standards for children in a counter-terrorism context.
- Victim status does not preclude the activation of channels within the criminal justice system, provided that the child is above the Minimum Age of Criminal Accountability.
- Effective counterterrorism and human rights are not to be interpreted as conflicting goals but rather as complementary and mutually reinforcing.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

off the original costof an instrument.Duringabackto
school sale an additional 15%istakenoff the
discountedprice.Julie,astudentatthe local high
school,purchasesaflute for₱306. Howmuch didit
originallycost?
₱400
The equation,x-0.10x-0.15(x-0.10x)=306,maybe used
to solve the problem.Solvingforx gives0.90x - 0.15x +
0.015x = 306, where x = 400. Thus,the original price
was ₱400.

A herdof cows gives4 litersof milkeachday.But each
cow givesone-thirdof total milkeachday.Theygive 24
litersmilkinsix days.Howmanycowsare there inthe
herd?
3
A herdof cows gives4 litersof milkeachday.
Each cow givesone-thirdof total milk eachday= 1/3 of
4
Therefore,eachcowgives4/3 of milkeachday.
Total no.of cows= 4 ÷ 4/3
= 4 × ¾
= 3
Therefore there are 3 cowsin the herd.

In a small companyaverage salaryof three employeesis
₱1000 per week.If one employee earns₱1100 and
otherearns₱500, how much will the thirdemployee
earn?
1400
(e1+e2+e3) /3 = ₱1000
₱1100+₱500+e3 = 1000 x 3
1600+e3 = 3000
e3 = 3000-1600
= 1400
