Children and the International Criminal Court

Description:

"This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its core legal texts from a children's rights perspective. It examines the ICC provisions and its case law, evaluating whether these meet international children's rights standards, particularly as regards the protection of child victims and witnesses, their participation as victims in ICC proceedings and their role as beneficiaries in reparations. The author proposes recommendations that could be adopted in order to guarantee children's rights in ICC proceedings. This book is a useful tool for practitioners as well as for academics, both in the area of international criminal law as well as children's rights."--
