    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Child Soldier 
Prevention Act of 2017''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The recruitment or use of children in armed conflict is 
        unacceptable for any government or government-supported entity 
        receiving United States assistance.
            (2) The recruitment or use of children in armed conflict, 
        including direct combat, support roles, and sexual slavery, 
        occurred during 2015 and 2016 in Afghanistan, South Sudan, 
        Sudan, Burma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, 
        Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.
            (3) Entities of the Government of Afghanistan, particularly 
        the Afghan Local Police and the Afghan National Police, 
        continue to recruit children to serve as combatants or as 
        servants, including as sex slaves.
            (4) Police forces of the Government of Afghanistan 
        participate in counterterrorism operations, direct and indirect 
        combat, and security operations, fight alongside regular 
        armies, and are targeted for violence by the Taliban and by 
        other opposition groups.
            (5) In February 2016, a 10-year-old boy was assassinated by 
        the Taliban after he had been publically honored by Afghan 
        local police forces for his assistance in combat operations 
        against the Taliban.
            (6) The recruitment and use of children in armed conflict 
        by government forces continued during 2016 in South Sudan with 
        the return to hostilities.
            (7) At least 650 children have been recruited and used in 
        armed conflict in South Sudan during 2016, and at least 16,000 
        children have been recruited since that country's civil war 
        began in 2013.
