For societies transitioning from conflict to peace, the phenomenon of child soldiers poses significant challenges. These include quandaries associated with assisting in the reintegration of serving child soldiers, determining how to prevent future recruitment of child soldiers, and pursuing accountability of those who utilize child soldiers. In addition, questions are also raised as to whether and how child soldiers responsible for crimes committed during conflict are to be held to account. While no one mechanism or response can adequately and sufficiently address the multifaceted issues that arise, peace agreements, as foundational documents that serve as the blueprint for peacebuilding and the post-conflict State, can make a useful contribution to some or all of them. Drawing on all references to child soldiers in 77 peace agreements signed between 1990 and 2022, this article examines the ways in which peace agreements address the issue of child soldiers.

对于从冲突向和平过渡的社会来说，儿童兵现象构成了重大挑战。其中包括与协助现役儿童兵重返社会、确定如何防止未来招募儿童兵以及追究使用儿童兵者责任等相关的困境。此外，还提出了是否以及如何追究在冲突期间所犯罪行的儿童兵的责任的问题。虽然没有任何一种机制或应对措施能够充分解决出现的多方面问题，但和平协定作为建设和平和冲突后国家蓝图的基础文件，可以对其中部分或全部问题作出有益贡献。本文借鉴 1990 年至 2022 年间签署的 77 份和平协议中对儿童兵的所有提及，探讨了和平协议解决儿童兵问题的方式。
