Children and Transitional Justice: Truth-Telling, Accountability and Reconciliation

Children are increasingly a focus of international and national courts and truth commissions.  This book includes analysis of the recent involvement of children in transitional justice processes in Liberia, Peru, Sierra Leone, and South Africa. It also explores key areas of current debates among legal scholars and child rights advocates, such as international criminal responsibility, traditional and restorative justice, reparations, psychosocial support for child witnesses, and links between education and reconciliation.
