Millions of children around the world are affected by conflict, and
the enduring aftermath of war in post-conflict societies. This book
reflects on the implications of children's insecurity for
governments and the international humanitarian community by drawing
on original field research in post-conflict Cambodia and in Burma's
eastern conflict zones. The book examines the way that politics and
discourses of security and child protection have further
marginalised rather than enhanced the protection of children. In
Cambodia, threats from trafficking, exploitative labour, and high
levels of domestic and social violence challenge the government and
the international humanitarian community to respond to the new
human security terrain that is the legacy of three decades of
political violence. Burma has endured over 60 years of insurgency
and civil conflict in ethnic minority states, significantly
affecting children who are recruited into armies, killed, maimed or
tortured, and displaced. Analysing the theoretical and practical
challenges faced in addressing children's security in global
politics, the book offers a novel framework for responding to the
politics of protection that is at the heart of this crucial issue.
It is a useful contribution to studies on Asian Politics and
International Relations and Security.
This book examines core thematic approaches to the Responsibility
to Protect (R2P) and analyzes case studies regarding the
implementation of this important global norm. The volume analyzes
this process at international, regional and local levels, and
identifies an urgent need to progress from conceptual debates
towards implementation in practice, in order to understand how to
operationalize the preventive dimension of the R2P. It argues that
R2P implementation necessarily entails the efforts of actors across
governance levels, and that it is more effective when integrated
into existing sites of practice aimed at strengthening human rights
and accountability for populations in atrocity risk situations. The
book addresses R2P implementation in the context of agendas such as
resilience, gender, development cooperation, human rights,
transitional justice, peacekeeping and civil-military relations. It
details progress and challenges for implementation in the United
Nations, regionally in Africa, Europe and Southeast Asia, and
through national atrocity prevention architectures. The volume
provides readers with a breadth of understanding in terms of both
the development and current status of the R2P norm, and practical
tools for advancing its implementation. This book will be of much
interest to students of the Responsibility to Protect, Human
Rights, Peace Studies, and International Relations in general.
