DOWNLOAD EBOOKChildren and youth in armed conflict grow up in very challenging circumstances. Thus, an in-depth examination of the many interrelated issues they face is warranted, which this comprehensive book provides. This book addresses their situation in a multidisciplinary way, linking their reality in peacetime to their situation in wartime, and deals with issues such as: their economic, social and cultural rights; public health; the traumatic consequences of war; whether violence gives rise to violent behavior; the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child; and international humanitarian law. Other issues explored include the provision of education in armed conflict; the African Union's Kampala Convention on internally displaced persons; Colombia's Constitutional Court's Auto decision 251 on internally displaced children and youth; the Inter-American, African and European human rights work on children in armed conflict; and the numerous challenges involved with transitional justice
