In most countries, the legal age for military service is typically 18, though some places allow individuals as young as 16 to enlist with parental consent. However, international conventions, such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, discourage the recruitment of children under the age of 18 for armed conflict. While there have been instances of children being involved in warfare, particularly in non-state armed groups, this practice is widely condemned and considered a violation of human rights.
