UCTD Child soldiers -- Sierra Leone Sociological jurisprudence -- Sierra Leone Courts of special jurisdiction -- Sierra Leone Civil war -- Sierra Leone -- Participation, Juvenile Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2011. The use of child soldiers in armed conflicts has been common the world over for a long time now. However, over the last few decades, this practice has become widespread in Africa where armed groups recruit children as part of their war strategy and to help sustain their campaigns. This practice has left thousands of children physically and psychologically bruised with many still suffering from post war effects long after the end of such conflicts. Many negative effects still haunt many of the children who were recruited into the ranks of the government and rebel forces during the decade civil war in Sierra Leone. The civil war in Sierra Leone has been considered to be one of the most gruesome in the history of conflicts in Africa not only because of its high level of brutality but also in the manner in which children were forced into combat and abused both physically and psychologically. It is estimated that between 7000 - 10 000 children below the age of 15 years, some as young as seven were recruited into armed forces or groups during the war. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ nf2012 Centre for Human Rights LLM 2012-05-02T08:47:17Z 2012-05-02T08:47:17Z 2011/10/30 Mini Dissertation Sonsiama, DA 2011/10/30, A critical analysis of the jurisprudence of the special court for Sierra Leone on the use of child soldiers, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18649> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/18649 en University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
