Hidden scandal, secret shame - Torture and ill-treatment of children REDUZIERT 5 CHF

Amnesty International 2000, Englisch, 100 Seiten

This book draws on many reports of torture of children documented by AI and other human rights organizations. The victims are children from all regions of the world.  Some are the accidental victims of the carnage of war; some have been deliberately targeted by armed forces; some have themselves been forced to take up arms, and to carry out acts of torture. Children are tortured for political activism or alleged criminality, or simply because they are socially marginal; they are targeted because of their identity as well as their beliefs. Dozens of harrowing cases are presented in this report, yet they are no more than the tip of a very large iceberg. The torture of children is a widespread, worldwide scandal, and concerted public action must be brought to bear on governments to force them to live up to their legal and moral obligation to protect children.
