""Born of War "is an important and unique book which anyone
interested in children's rights should put on their required
reading list. This multidisciplinary volume is an invaluable
resource for students as well as scholars interested in learning
more about the role of gender, ethnicity and gross violations of
children's human rights."
"Carpenter's excellent collected volume... establishes children
born of war as the rightful subjects of human rights law and
practice...[she] has given us a powerful framework for thinking
about and acting in the name of [these] children - one that may
well inspire an entirely new field, and do a great deal of good in
the process."
"This book sheds light on a serious human security concern that
persists despite the abundance of international legal instruments
designed to protect children who by accident of birth happen to be
in conflict zones. This excellently edited volume, with its rich
case studies and thoughtful recommendations, is a cutting edge work
that will attract the interest of academics and policymakers
working in the humanitarian field."
"This edited volume by Charli Carpenter brings outstanding
scholarship to a theme and a group of people which have not
received sufficient attention in the past - the children born of
war. This group of war-victims has not only been kept hidden from
their respective communities. They have also been largely invisible
to international scholars because they are such a vulnerable group
to study. The authors have not only done an outstanding job in
bringing an understanding of how urgent the need for more knowledge
is; they have also managed to give voice to a group that is seldom
heard and deserves our undivided attention."
