Abstract

The contemporary movement to hold child soldiers accountable for international crimes (whether this accountability is to be via judicial or non-judicial mechanisms) is confronted with particular fundamental practical and conceptual hurdles. A prime practical difficulty is generally held by most legal scholars to be the lack of a universal minimum age of criminal responsibility for international crimes under international law (as well as the lack of a universal age of criminal culpability for international crimes when codified as offenses under domestic law):…with regard to the criminal responsibility of children for international crimes, a particular problem exists.
