The report of the UN’s Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya has claimed that “Turkey facilitated the recruitment of Syrian children to fight alongside the GNA against the LNA in exchange for payment”. Turkey has dismissed the allegations.

Turkey was placed on the list of countries due to its "tangible" support to an armed group in Syria using child soldiers, according to the US Department of State.

Human Rights Watch has declared that HPG and YBŞ have Kurdish and Yezidi children within their bodies and it contravenes international law, and called on these organizations to put an end to this situation.
