In the aftermath of armed conflict, the mainstream justice system targets warlords internationally, armed groups and militias' commanders who abduct and enrol children as combatants, leaving child perpetrators not being held accountable for their alleged gross human rights violations. Attempts to prosecute child soldiers through the mainstream justice system have resulted in child rights abuses. Where no accountability measures have been taken, demobilised young soldiers have experienced rejection, and eventually, some have returned to soldiering. This research provides evidence of the potential of restorative justice peacemaking circles and locally-based jurisprudence - specifically the Baraza - to hold former child soldiers accountable and facilitate their reintegration into society.--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Child soldiers (International law) 650 0 $a Restorative justice $z Congo (Democratic Republic) 650 7 $a LAW / International. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Child soldiers (International law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01893206 650 7 $a Restorative justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01096003 651 7 $a Congo (Democratic Republic) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208723 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211022400.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA2644FEE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
