The Persecution of Children as a Crime Against Humanity

Focusing on age-based persecution of children, this book presents a groundbreaking perspective within international criminal law, framing such acts as crimes against humanity. It explores how children can be targeted as a collective or as individuals, considering the intersections of age with other identity factors like gender, ethnicity, and religion. By linking this persecution to established offenses under various international statutes, the work aims to enhance understanding and legal accountability for these atrocities.
