dc.description.abstractThis paper is part of the research work by the International Law Clinic, organized by the Universidad del Rosario, Bogotá, Colombia and the Ibero-American Institute of the Hague for Peace, Human Rights and International Justice (IIH), in cooperation with the Office of Public Counsel for Victims (OPCV) of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This memorandum seeks to answer the following two questions: 1. In which national jurisdictions, and under which circumstances and criteria, can child soldiers under 15 be held criminally liable for crimes committed during the period of their recruitment? What kinds of punishment are foreseen? 2. In national jurisdictions and in cases involving former child soldiers (or any equivalent circumstances where children were forced to commit crimes or subjected to any type of victimization), what role (s) do these elements play in their sentencing when convicted of crimes committed as adults?
