The international community's efforts to halt child soldiering have yielded some        successes. But this pernicious practice persists. It may shift locally, but it        endures globally. Preventative measures therefore remain inadequate. Former child        soldiers experience challenges readjusting to civilian life. Reintegration is        complex and eventful. The homecoming is only the beginning. Reconciliation within        communities afflicted by violence committed by and against child soldiers        isincomplete. Shortfalls linger on the restorative front.The international community        strives to eradicate the scourge of child soldiering. Mostly, though, these efforts        replay the same narratives and circulate the same assumptions. Current humanitarian        discourse sees child soldiers as passive victims, tools of war, vulnerable,        psychologically devastated, and not responsible for their violent acts. This        perception has come to suffuse international law and policy. Although reflecting        much of the lives of child soldiers, this portrayal also omitscritical aspects. This        book pursues an alternate path by reimagining the child soldier. It approaches child        soldiers with a more nuanced and less judgmental mind.This book takes a second look        at these efforts. It aspires to refresh law and policy so as to improve        preventative, restorative, and remedial initiatives while also vivifying the dignity        of youth. Along the way, Drumbl questions central tenets of contemporary        humanitarianism and rethinks elements of international criminal justice. This        ground-breaking book is essential reading for anyone committed to truly emboldening        the rights of the child. It offers a way to think about child soldiers thatwould        invigorate international law, policy, and best practices. Where does this        reimagination lead? Not toward retributive criminal trials, but instead toward        restorative forms of justice. Toward forgiveness instead of excuse, thereby        facilitating reintegration and promoting social repair withinafflicted communities.          Toward a better understanding of child soldiering, without which the practice cannot        be ended. This book also offers fresh thinking on related issues, ranging from        juvenile justice, to humanitarian interventions, to the universality of human        rights, to the role of law in responding to mass atrocity.
