President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi has directed all military and security bodies not to recruit children under 18,  as that it is considered a crime in international law. This came during his meeting on Tuesday, at the Presidential House, with the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict Leila Zerrougui and her accompanying delegation, which is currently visiting Yemen, on a mission to be familiar with the conditions in Yemen, especially with respect to recruiting children .
