Innocenti Publications Children and Truth Commissions Published: 2010 Innocenti Publications Children are often brutally targeted in modern warfare. Accountability mechanisms have begun to focus on crimes committed against children during armed conflict and to involve children proactively, including through testimony that bears witness to their experiences. But if children are to engage in transitional justice processes, their rights must be respected. This publication is intended to inform the work of truth commissions, child protection advocates and organizations, legal experts and other professionals in efforts to protect the rights of children involved in truth and reconciliation processes. It includes an analysis of emerging good practices and recommends policies and procedures for children’s participation in truth commissions. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 90 | Thematic area: Children's Participation, Conflict and Displacement, Juvenile Justice, Rights of the Child | Tags: abduction, children in armed conflicts, children in emergency situations, conflicts, rights of children in armed conflicts, rights of the child, transitional justice × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION 2010 Children and Truth Commissions. , pp. 90.
