Child-soldiering appears as a phenomenon dense with complexity, how its persistency testifies. Themain challenge for international law concerns the twofold legal status of child-soldiers: not only victimsof international crimes, but even criminal perpetrators themselves. Against such scenario, internationallaw has pursued the child’s best interests principle within a twofold dimension, followingthe rationale upon which article 3 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989 is based. Onone side, the protection of child-soldiers as victims has been achieved on the ground of substantivelaw; on the other side, the criminal accountability of child-soldiers has led to a paradigm shift, bywhich the principle of the best interests has been evaluated under the procedural dimension.
