Routledge - Atrocity Crimes, Children and International Criminal Courts

Explore the complex relationship between international criminal justice and the protection of minors in this academic work from Routledge. Atrocity Crimes, Children and International Criminal Courts: Killing Childhood examines why international courts often provide limited and inconsistent attention to crimes affecting children. The text provides a detailed look at the structural, legal, financial, and attitudinal obstacles that cause children to remain almost invisible in legal proceedings. This book investigates how different international and hybrid criminal jurisdictions approach crimes committed against or by children. By reviewing these legal frameworks, the book addresses the gap between adult-focused justice and the specific needs of young victims and perpetrators. It serves as a vital resource for those studying international law, human rights, and the evolution of global criminal justice systems. Understand the barriers to justice and how international criminal justice can contribute to better outcomes for children in conflict zones.
