In this book, Hedi Viterbo radically challenges our picture of law,
human rights, and childhood, both in and beyond the
Israel/Palestine context. He reveals how Israel, rather than
disregarding international law and children's rights, has used them
to hone and legitimize its violence against Palestinians. He
exposes the human rights community's complicity in this situation,
due to its problematic assumptions about childhood, its uncritical
embrace of international law, and its recurring emulation of
Israel's security discourse. He examines how, and to what effect,
both the state and its critics manufacture, shape, and weaponize
the categories 'child' and 'adult.' Bridging disciplinary divides,
Viterbo analyzes hundreds of previously unexamined sources, many of
which are not publicly available. Bold, sophisticated, and
informative, Problematizing Law, Rights, and Childhood in
Israel/Palestine provides unique insights into the ever-tightening
relationship between law, children's rights, and state violence, at
both the local and global levels.
