Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AbstractChildren, armed conflicts and migrations, taken as a whole is a critical human rights concern which deserves its worth in legal research in contemporary era. The existing inter-national human rights on this subject remain questionable regarding the purposes and functionalities for which they have been designed. For three decades now, children lay at the core of the concerns of several human rights instruments. Their protection fuels many debates in international and domestic fora. The adoption of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child (ICRC:1989) has markedly influenced the international legal framework on children. Significant progresses on children's rights have been achieved. Relevant UN Resolutions are being passed en-forcing the Convention. At regional level, regional child rights conventions are passed in an effort of contextualization. Remarkable endeavors for domesticating the Convention are being mobilized at national level. However, the rights of children in conflict setting are still of many concerns. They are the most affected and thus, special attention should be given to them.The research questions the relevance of the current international human rights frame-work pertaining to the protection of children forcibly displaced in conflict setting regarding the law per se as an instrument as well as its enforcement mechanisms and related bodies of implementation. A case study is carried out applied to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Federal Republic of Nigeria as illustration. There is not a single piece of international legislation on human rights that deals exclusively with children forcibly displaced in conflict setting. All the existing international human rights conventions apply for all human beings, including children whatever the context.From a social legal and doctrinal perspectives, the finding is that the current international legal framework on human rights is relevant, but under-enforced. It suffers from some gaps and inconsistencies which limits its effectiveness in their functions. Its enforcement mechanisms are weak and obsolete to address the needs on human rights in a changing world. There is an urgent need to undertake legal reforms on the legal corpus itself, on institutions for implementation and on programs designed to implement human rights.The book provides a thorough assessment of current international human rights legal framework regarding the protection of children forcibly displaced during armed conflicts from a social legal perspective. Although the existing legal framework had substantially paved the way human rights are currently engaging at global, regional and domestic levels harvesting substantial progresses, there are areas that needs specific focus on shaping the research agenda in human rights in a world in constant dynamics. Its enforcement mechanisms and the heaviness of their implementation bodies. Meanwhile the positioning of human rights at the core of the sustainable development agenda imposes to undertake some reforms in a general perspective as well as taking into account the most vulnerable categories in various contexts.The author, with a human right-based approach to development poses tough questions in order to evaluate the effectiveness, the efficiency, the impacts and sustainability of the current legal framework on human rights and proposes the courses of action in shaping the research agenda regarding children forcibly displaced in armed conflicts settings. The case studies in consideration that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Federal Republic of Nigeria provide some areas of interests that can help furthering the re-search in a various legal system.The book is recommended for researchers, academicians, politicians and reformers and journalists and professionals in legal arena.
Download or read book Global Child written by Myriam Denov and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-13 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armed conflicts continue to wreak havoc on children and families around the world with profound effects. In 2017, 420 million children—nearly one in five—were living in conflict-affected areas, an increase in 30 million from the previous year. The recent surge in war-induced migration, referred to as a “global refugee crisis” has made migration a highly politicized issue, with refugee populations and host countries facing unique challenges. We know from research related to asylum seeking families that it is vital to think about children and families in relation to what it means to stay together, what it means for parents to be separated from their children, and the kinds of everyday tensions that emerge in living in dangerous, insecure, and precarious circumstances. In Global Child, the authors draw on what they have learned through their collaborative undertakings, and highlight the unique features of participatory, arts-based, and socio-ecological approaches to studying war-affected children and families, demonstrating the collective strength as well as the limitations and ethical implications of such research. Building on work across the Global South and the Global North, this book aims to deepen an understanding of their tri-pillared approach, and the potential of this methodology for contributing to improved practices in working with war-affected children and their families.

Download or read book Children Affected by Armed Conflict written by Myriam Denov and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Societal turbulence, state collapse, religious and ethnic conflict, poverty, hunger, and social exclusion all underlie children's involvement in armed conflict. Drawing from empirical studies in eleven conflict-ridden countries, including Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Colombia, Uganda, Palestine, Somalia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and South Sudan, Children Affected by Armed Conflict crosses cultures and contexts to capture a range of perspectives on the realities of armed conflict and its aftermath for children. Children Affected by Armed Conflict upends traditional views by emphasizing the experience of girls as well as boys, the unique social and contextual backgrounds of war-affected children, and the resilience and agency such children often display. Including children who are victims of, participants in, and witnesses to armed conflict in their analyses, the contributors to this volume highlight innovative methodologies that directly involve war-affected children in the research process. This validates the perspectives of children and ensures more effective outcomes in postwar reintegration and recovery. Deficits-based models do not account for the realities many war-affected children face. The alternative approaches presented in this edited collection—which acknowledge the realities of both trauma and resilience—aim to generate more effective policies and intervention strategies in the face of a growing global public health crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the effects of war and armed conflict on individual children and their family system, and how culturally responsive social work practice should take into account the diversity and heterogeneity of their needs and lived experiences. Unpacking social work practice with children and families affected by war and migration, the volume provides a valuable toolkit for practitioners, educators, researchers, and service-providers that work with war-affected populations around the globe. The contributions suggest that fostering a family approach, allotting careful attention to context and culture, and linking the arts and participation with social work practice, can all be vital to enhancing the research, education, and practice around working with children and families affected by armed conflict. Providing a critical reflection of social work education and practice, this book will be of interest to practitioners in the field of social work, as well as researchers studying the social effects of migration. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Family Social Work.

Featuring empirical, conceptual and policy analyses, alongside moving first-hand accounts of the experiences of war-affected children and youth, it highlights the urgent need for advocacy and action on this issue. Boasting state of the art contributions by eminent scholars and practitioners from across the globe, this Research Handbook explores the theoretical, practical, and policy issues related to children affected by war. Chapters investigate the profound harms experienced by such children and youth, whether in the heat of conflict, during flight or during resettlement to a new context, underscoring the urgency and high stakes of these situations for children and families affected by war. The Handbook demonstrates that scholarly discussions and debates must ultimately contribute to real-life changes to promote more just and effective immigration legislation, policies, programmes, and practices for war-affected children. Integrating conceptual analyses with concrete policy and political engagement, this incisive Research Handbook will prove essential for scholars, researchers, and students interested in war studies, security, refugee studies, forced migration, international development, child protection and post-conflict reconstruction. Its policy and legally-oriented chapters will also benefit policymakers, civil servants and international NGOs.
Download or read book Years of Conflict written by Jason Hart and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have witnessed a significant growth of interest in the consequences of political violence and displacement for the young. However, when speaking of "children" commentators have often taken the situation of those in early and middle childhood as representative of all young people under eighteen years of age. As a consequence, the specific situation of adolescents negotiating the processes of transition towards social adulthood amidst conditions of violence and displacement is commonly overlooked. Years of Conflict provides a much-needed corrective. Drawing upon perspectives from anthropology, psychology, and media studies as well as the insights of those involved in programmatic interventions, it describes and analyses the experiences of older children facing the challenges of daily life in settings of conflict, post-conflict and refuge. Several authors also reflect upon methodological issues in pursuing research with young people in such settings. The accounts span the globe, taking in Liberia, Afghanistan, South Africa, Peru, Jordan, UK/Western Europe, Eastern Africa, Iran, USA, and Colombia. This book will be invaluable to those seeking a fuller understanding of conflict and displacement and its effects upon adolescents. It will also be welcomed by practitioners concerned to develop more effective ways of providing support to this group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book explores the complex and multifaceted connections between education and migration in an Asian context from multiple perspectives. It features studies from China, Japan, India, the Philippines, Thailand, and Timor-Leste and covers diverse migration and education experiences. These experiences encompass internal and international migration and forced displacement, as well as questions surrounding education such as school choice, education provision and training as human capital; education and social inclusion; and student performance in a post-conflict context. By covering a wide range of questions and situations, the original scholarship in this book reveals how human development concerns and higher rates of movement within and outside of Asian countries operate on multiple levels in a globalized world.
Download or read book Children on the Move written by Mike Dottridge and published by UN. This book was released on 2013 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of children are on the move, both within and between countries, with or without their parents. The conditions under which movement takes place are often treacherous, putting migrant children, especially unaccompanied and separated children, at an increased risk of economic or sexual exploitation, abuse, neglect and violence. Policy responses to protect and support these migrant children are often fragmented and inconsistent and while children on the move have become a recognised part of today's global and mixed migration flows they are still largely invisible in debates on both child protection and migration.

Book excerpt: "In this path-breaking study, Professor Goodwin-Gill and Dr Cohn assess the status of the Child Soldier in international law and highlight the ways in which international humanitarian law fails to provide effective protection, particularly in the internal conflicts which are the most common battlefields today. Based upon empirical data gathered from places of conflict all over the world, the authors examine the consequences for child soldiers, their families and communities, of their participation in armed conflict. They conclude their study with practical suggestions for preventing recruitment, and call for a more coherent policy of treatment for those children who have participated in acts of violence."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Geographies of Peace and Armed Conflict written by Audrey Kobayashi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection addresses the impact of armed conflict and explores pathways to peace across the world. Topics range from geopolitics to the effects of armed conflict on the environment, resources, health, children, and transnational migration. Others explore the social processes involved in post-conflict situations, and others still the lessons for achieving effective peace. The geographical concepts addressed include the notion of "conflict space," landscapes of terror, the relationship between violence and justice, the conditions for peace, and the dynamics of post-conflict. Methods include landscape analysis, interviews with a range of citizens, mapping and geographic information science, and policy analysis. Several papers address the situation of children in conflict zones, the impact of conflict on patterns of migration, the role of gender in achieving peace, the concept of territory as a basis for conflict and for negotiation of peace, as well as the economic impact of conflict. The studies cover several world regions, including Africa, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and eastern Europe. This book was originally published as a special issue of Annals of the Association of American Geographers.
Download or read book Armed Conflict and Forcible Displacement written by Elena Katselli Proukaki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the involuntary and arbitrary displacement of individuals resulting from armed conflict and gross human rights violations. It shows that forcible displacement constitutes a serious violation of international law and of fundamental community interests. Armed Conflict and Forcible Displacement provides a critical legal analysis of the contemporary international framework, permeating forcible displacement in these circumstances and explores the rights that individuals possess with specific focus on the right not to be displaced and, where this fails, the right to return home and to receive property restitution. In doing so, this volume marries together different fields of international law and builds on the case studies of Cyprus, Colombia, Cambodia and Syria. While the case studies considered here are far from exhaustive, they are either little explored or present significant challenges due to the magnitude of displacement or contested international jurisprudence. Through this analysis, the volume exposes some of the legal challenges that individuals encounter in being protected from forcible displacement, as well as the legal obstacles that persist in ensuring the return of and the recovery of property by the displaced. It will be of interest to those interested in the fields of international law, human rights law, as well as conflict and war studies.
