Child Soldier Victims of Genocidal Forcible Transfer

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the legal status of child soldiers, the book presents a comprehensive analysis of their recruitment into armed groups involved in mass atrocities and genocide. It argues against the criminal culpability of these child recruits for international crimes and critiques existing accountability mechanisms. The author challenges prevailing views on child soldiers' agency in committing atrocities and offers fresh interpretations of international law, particularly regarding the Rome Statute's age-based protections, advocating for humane treatment standards for child soldiers.
