Child Rights, Conflict, and International Criminal Justice

Abstract

Woodruff Chair in International Law and Faculty Co-Director of the Dean Rusk International Law Center Diane Marie Amann’s lecture “Child Rights, Conflict, and International Criminal Justice” has been published in the United Nations Audiovisual Library of International Law as part of its commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. In her lecture, Amann discusses the particular harms that children endure in armed conflict and similar violence, and traces the developments in child rights that led to adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. She also discusses parallel developments in international humanitarian law and international criminal law before closing by evaluating efforts to ensure the rights of the child by preventing and punishing international crimes against and affecting children.
