Pluto Press, in association with DCI, Defence for Children International, Palestine Section20041 online resource (216 p.)Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-7453-2161-5 0-7453-2162-3 Includes bibliographical references (p. 171-190) and index.The political context -- Israel's system of control -- International law and child detention -- Arrest and transfer -- Interrogation and detention -- Imprisonment -- State violence and discrimination -- Psychological and social impacts of prison and torture -- Myths and politics : the foundation of Israel's impunity.Stolen Youth is the first book to explore Israel's incarceration of Palestinian children. Based on first-hand information from international human rights groups and NGO workers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, it also features interviews with children who have been imprisoned. The result is a disturbing and often shocking account of the abuses that are being carried out by Israel, and that have been widely documented by human rights groups such as Amnesty, but yet have never been addressed by the international community.The book presents a critical analysis of the international legal framework and the UN system, arguing that a major failure of these instuitutions is their appeal to neutrality while ignoring the reality of power. The book attempts to address the inadequacy of these institutions by placing the issue of Palestinian child prisoners within the framework of Israeli strategy and the overall system of control.The book is divided into three main sections: the first chapters introduce the major issues, and propose a framework for understanding Israel's policy towards Palestinian detainees, particularly children. The second section examines the actual experience of children from the moment of arrest until their release from prison based on hundreds of affidavits collected from children released from prison. The final section of the book analyses in detail the reasons underlying Israel's incarceration of children and the impact on Palestinian society. It outlines Israel's system of institutionalized discrimination and state torture, challenges the legitimacy of Israel's 'security' argument, and argues that Israel's treatment of Palestinian detainees forms one pillar of a policy designed to quash resistance to the occupation.Juvenile detentionIsraelPolitical prisonersWest BankPolitical prisonersGaza StripChildren, Palestinian ArabCrimes againstIsraelChildren, Palestinian ArabLegal status, laws, etcIsraelJuvenile detentionPolitical prisonersPolitical prisonersChildren, Palestinian ArabCrimes againstChildren, Palestinian ArabLegal status, laws, etc.365/.48/095694Cook Catherine1971-1664962Hanieh Adam1972-1664963Kay Adah1943-1664964Defence for Children International.Palestine Section.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809812403321Stolen youth4023319UNINA
