Cet ouvrage examine le cadre juridique général de la protection des enfants contre l'exploitation et les abus sexuels des soldats de la paix en période de confl it armé : le cas de la Centrafrique et de la RD-Congo tant à l'épreuve du droit international humanitaire que des droits de l'homme et des textes nationaux. Il fait également une place particulière aux jurisprudences du TPIY et du TPIR.

This collection is anchored in an African conception of children's rights and the law, and reflects contemporary discourses taking place in the region of the children's rights sphere. The majority of contributors are African and adopt an individual approach to their topic which reflects their first-hand experience. The book focuses on child rights issues which have particular resonance on the continent and the chapters span themes which are both broad and narrow, containing subject matter which is both theoretical and illuminated by practice. The book profiles recent developments and experiences in furthering children's legal rights in the African context, and distils from these future trends the specific role that the law can play in the African children's rights environment.

A concerned investigation of the curious relationship between Hollywood and the US Department of Defense that exposes some distressing collaborations.

Hailed by Western elites as a leader of extraordinary vision, Paul Kagame portrayed himself as the president who helped shepherd Rwanda into a prosperous, modern future. But as this book shows, the truth is far from what we've been led to believe. In truth, the former rebel leader Kagame was a well-spoken gangster, using his position of power to loot his own people for personal gain and enrich private interests. But with praise and support from luminaries like former US president Bill Clinton and former British prime minister Tony Blair, the full truth behind Paul Kagame's corrupt rule was never exposed to the light of day. This book changes that. Author David Himbara blows the whistle by showing that Kagame looted the national pension, bilking his own people. In the process, he drained his country's prosperity to line his own pockets. With Kagame's party still in power, this shocking, straightforward account is filled with international intrigue and riddled with terrifying implications. Now that Kagame has been exposed, only one question remains: will the world hold him and his party accountable for their heartless, brazen thievery?

In 2014 the world’s most widely ratified human rights treaty, one specifically for children, reached the milestone of its twenty-fifth anniversary. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in the time since then it has entered a new century, reshaping laws, policies, institutions and practices across the globe, along with fundamental conceptions of who children are, their rights and entitlements, and society’s duties and obligations to them. Yet despite its rapid entry into force worldwide, there are concerns that the Convention remains a high-level paper treaty without the traction on the ground needed to address ever-continuing violations of children’s rights. This book, based on papers from the conference ‘25 Years CRC’ held by the Department of Child Law at Leiden University, draws together a rich collection of research and insight by academics, practitioners, NGOs and other specialists to reflect on the lessons of the past 25 years, take stock of how international rights find their way into children’s lives at the local level, and explore the frontiers of children’s rights for the 25 years ahead.
