self-explanatory, I think. I know it's a bit of a long-shot but if anyone
can shed any light on the matter we would be very grateful. Please send any
response direct to her. The e-mail address is: [log in to unmask]
Dear Nigel,

>>I wonder if you would be able to help me. My son works in Rio de Janeiro
for
>an NGO and is preparing a report on the use of armed youth by drug cartels in
>Brazil. He is seeking a source of statistics on the issue of the use of
child
>solders/armed combatants under 18 years of age in war situations in other
>countries - such as Africa or Columbia. He is seeking death rates from armed
>violence for such youngsters. He has searched the internet to no avail -
>although he has managed to get statistics on youth death by armed violence
for
>New York, Washington and Los Angeles. Do you have any ideas of
>organisations/departments that might hold such information? I would be very
>grateful for any ideas as my son has to submit this project for a UN
>conference
>shortly.
