International crimes and other<br \/>\nforms of violence and the abuse of children are disturbing daily realities in today\u2019s world. Children<br \/>\nand young persons are increasingly being targeted for the purposes of murder, rape, abduction,<br \/>\nmutilation, recruitment as child soldiers, trafficking, sexual exploitation and other abuses. Sierra<br \/>\nLeone, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Colombia, and many others illustrate this. The<br \/>\nparticipation of children in international criminal justice and other accountability mechanisms<br \/>\nis now one of the major issues facing criminal justice today. In this sense, this paper presents a<br \/>\nshort overview on the issue of children and their participation in international criminal justice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The paper thus focuses on giving a definition of \u201cchild\/children\u201d according to international norms,<br \/>\nwhich are the key principles of children\u2019s rights, their participation in the criminal justice system,<br \/>\nthe different international crimes committed by them or against them etc. Also, this paper briefly<br \/>\naddresses the main contours of the normative framework regarding the criminal responsibility<br \/>\nof children for their alleged participation in international crimes. It reviews international norms<br \/>\nregarding children who may be accused of having participated in the commission of such crimes<br \/>\nthemselves (as child soldiers) and identifies their criminal responsibility for such acts. Finally,<br \/>\nthis paper acknowledges the obligations of states under international law to prosecute persons<br \/>\naccused of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, torture and enforced disappearances,<br \/>\nspecifically focusing on crimes against children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Read and DOWNLOAD\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/iipccl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Ajbals-92-99.pdf\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source : IPCCL\u00a0 By Av.
