International law and state practice mirrors the recognition of children’s
particular need for protection during peacetime, but in situations in
which international crimes are being committed the prosecution of
international crimes committed against children before international
courts and tribunals is also well embedded. While international
prosecutions are thus in line with the overall development of protecting
children from the consequences of armed conflict and large scale violence,
the involvement of the child in international criminal proceedings also
gives rise to new questions which relate to the procedural involvement of
the child.
As child participation in the proceedings before the International Criminal Court (ICC) constitutes a matter of fact, one may raise the question whether such participation is a welcome development. This study examines the procedural implications of child participation and thereby intends to contribute legal views and perspectives to the underlying debate on the adequacy of child participation in ICC proceedings. The study concludes with ten recommendations that underline the call.
