Summary Children are recruited to fight in conflicts around the world and violent cruelty characterizes many of the conflicts in which children participate. Some children are perpetrators of some of the worst acts of depraved murder, disfigurement, and terrorism imaginable. They then struggle to reintegrate into communities that were victims of the violence. Taking into account the interests of children and other victims of conflict, and considering the needs of post-conflict communities, this book examines and offers suggestions for how transitional justice practices should conceptualize and address the involvement of child soldiers in violent collective harm. This book will appeal to a wide range of scholars from International Relations, Criminal Justice, Law, Philosophy, Sociology, Anthropology, Development and African Studies.
Contents Child soldiering -- The difficult reintegration -- Moral and legal responsibility of child soldiers -- The expressive value of post-atrocity accountability -- Accountability and social reconstruction -- Trauma, truth-telling, and post-atrocity justice -- Accountability for child soldiers -- Distinctly girl soldiers.
