About the product
Children in War provides essential information on the impact of armed conflict on children and what is being done to counter its harmful effects. A photo essay, which illustrates the ways in which armed conflict affects children, is followed by a conceptual framework. In line with this framework, the adoption of the concept of `children as a zone of peace' is advocated, as is the use of international humanitarian law in defending the rights of child victims of war. A matrix for guiding assessment and programme interventions is also given. A wide-ranging bibliography adds to the usefulness of this work.
