Reparations for Children and Youth: A Peacebuilding Mechanism
Sinthya Rubio Escolar (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain)
Copyright: © 2016 |Pages: 21
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-9675-4.ch005
Abstract
Violence against children and youth in war causes severe damage to individuals, communities and societies. This chapter aims to demonstrate the importance of reparations for children and youth as a peacebuilding mechanism in the context of transitional justice. On one hand, the chapter seeks to address reparations for children and youth understood as a political project, with a transformative and participatory potential for rebuilding societies and healing the wounds of those who have been affected by armed conflict. On the other hand, the paper attempts to overcome the conception of children and youth as passive victims, providing them with agency to become engaged political members in building peaceful societies. Thus, reparations should position them as subjects of rights, giving them voice as contributors in peacebuilding processes.
