Their Crime is Being Born: Children born of war in the 20th century

几个世纪以来，由（外国）士兵所生的孩子和由当地妇女所生的孩子（战争中出生的孩子- CBOW）一直是战争的一个特征，然而他们在很大程度上一直没有被公众和学术界所注意。该网络计划将寻求更好地理解影响CBOW的问题的研究人员和实践者聚集在一起。这将包括历史学家、社会科学家、哲学家、律师、伦理学家和精神病学家，他们中的大多数人已经在自己的领域建立了研究记录。此外，军事人员、处理最近冲突中战争中出生的儿童的非政府组织、政策制定者（例如联合国）和精神病学家将被纳入讲习班和相关研究项目。该网络将集中于整理和传播现有文献；以前收集的关于战争中出生的儿童的调查和其他数据，特别是儿童兵（CCS）和维和人员（CP）的儿童-通过促进跨学科对话的形式，包括学术研究人员以及与儿童兵和维和人员合作的非政府组织的从业人员和代表，对儿童兵和维和人员所经历的具体问题的理解-现有工具的改编提供电脑辅助治疗帮助受歧视、污名化和受创伤的儿童与儿童残疾综合症一起工作-利用儿童残疾综合症及其母亲提供的匿名信息，通过大规模的电脑辅助治疗，以便更好地了解儿童残疾综合症的情况，并对儿童残疾综合症进行比较分析；，特别是CCS和CP。上述目标将通过以下方式实现：-为期两天的圆桌会议-第二次世界大战期间和之后为期三天的CCS和CP研讨会-同时举行为期三天的CCS和CP工作组研讨会-为期两天的闭幕会议。跨学科会议的核心焦点是：1)第二次世界大战期间和之后的CBOW；这是唯一一组有重要研究数据的CBOW，可以评估创伤和歧视的中期和长期影响。一个工作组将调查是否有可能把以前在挪威和丹麦进行的调查研究扩大到其他地理区域和最近的冲突，以便更全面地了解联合国儿童基金会的生命历程。2)虚拟创伤心理治疗和虚拟创伤心理治疗：以虚拟创伤心理治疗和虚拟创伤心理治疗的初步研究为出发点，由创伤研究人员和一线从业人员以及社会科学家组成的工作组将探讨虚拟创伤心理治疗方法应用于CBOW工作的可能性。此外，一个由精神病学家、律师、社会科学家和从业人员参加的跨学科研讨会将探讨在计算机辅助证词治疗过程中获得的数据的潜在利用，以研究不同历史背景下的慢性精神病患者的生命历程。合作研究议程的制定将侧重于使用多语言计算机辅助自我访谈，迄今为止主要通过治疗战争受害者的创伤后应激障碍进行试验。这种允许（文盲）个人回答标准化调查表的工具可以克服治疗战争受害者、流离失所者和儿童的一些关键困难，即文盲、地理限制和/或心理治疗能力方面的限制。工作组将审查拟订标准化调查表的可能性，同时考虑到儿童在其独特环境中的需要。此外，该小组将进一步探讨由跨学科研究小组确定的具体研究问题，并考虑到与该领域研究相关的必要伦理考虑。

Children fathered by (foreign) soldiers and born to local women (children born of war - CBOW) have been a feature of warfare for centuries, yet they have remained largely unnoticed by public and academia. The network plans to bring together researchers and practitioners seeking to develop a better understanding of the issues affecting CBOW. This will include historians, social scientists, philosophers, lawyers, ethicists and psychiatrists, the majority of whom already have established research records in their own fields. In addition, military personnel, NGOs dealing with children born of war in recent conflicts, policy makers (e.g. in the UN) and psychiatrists will be integrated in workshops and related research projects. The network will focus on - the collation and dissemination of existing literature, of previously collected survey and other data relating to children born of war in general and children of child soldiers (CCS) and of peace keepers (CP) in particular - the development of an understanding of the specific problems experienced by CCS and CP through the facilitation of cross-disciplinary dialogue in the form of collaborative workshops involving academic researchers as well as practitioners and representatives of NGOs working with CBOW- the adaptation of existing tools providing computer-assisted therapeutic help to discriminated, stigmatized and traumatized children for work with CBOW- the utilisation of anonymised information provided by CBOW and their mothers through computer-assisted therapies on a larger scale to facilitate a better understanding of the situation of children and to allow a comparative analysis of CBOW, and particularly CCS and CP. The above aims will be achieved through - A two-day round-table - A three-day workshop on CBOW during and after World War II - Simultaneous three-day workshops of the working groups on CCS and CP - A concluding two-day conferenceCore foci of the interdisciplinary meetings are:1) CBOW during and after Second World War: This is the only group of CBOW for which significant research data exists that allows an assessment of medium and long-term effects of traumatisation and discrimination. A working group will investigate the possibility of extending survey research previously carried out in Norway and Denmark to other geographical areas and to more recent conflicts in order to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the life courses of CBOW. 2) CCS and CP: Taking preliminary studies of CCS and CP as a starting point, a working group consisting of trauma researchers and front-line practitioners as well as social scientists will investigate the possibility of adapting virtual trauma psychotherapeutic approaches for work with CBOW. Furthermore, an interdisciplinary workshop involving among others psychiatrists, lawyers, social scientists and practitioners will examine the potential utilisation of data obtained in the process of computer-assisted testimonial therapy in order to study the life courses of CBOW in different historical settings. The development of a collaborative research agenda will focus on the use of a Multilingual Computer Assisted Self Interview, hitherto tested primarily by treating post-traumatic stress disorder in war victims. This tool that allows (illiterate) individuals to answer standardized questionnaires can overcome some key difficulties in treating war victims, displaced people and children, namely illiteracy, geographical limitations and/or limitations concerning psychotherapeutic treatment capacity. The working group will examine the potential of developing standardized questionnaires, taking into account the needs of the children in their distinct setting. Moreover, the group will further explore specific research issues to be identified by the interdisciplinary research team, taking into account the necessary ethical considerations associated with research in this area.
