This text examines the development of this crime of recruiting, conscripting or using children for participation in armed conflict, from human rights principle to fully fledged war crime, prosecuted at the International Criminal Court.The background and reasons for the growing use of children in armed conflict are analysed, before discussing the origins of the crime in international humanitarian law and human rights law treaties, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocol. Specific focus is paid to the jurisprudence of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and the International Criminal Court in developing and expanding the elements of the crime, the modes of ascribing liability to perpetrators and the defences of mistake and negligence. The question of how the courts addressed issues of cultural sensitivity, notably in terms of the liability of children, is also addressed. | | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | | 关键词 | Child Soldiers; Human Rights; International Criminal Court; Special Court for Sierra Leone; War Crimes | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-6704-921-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-90-6704-921-4 | | copyright | T.
