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

几个世纪以来，（外国）士兵的父亲和当地妇女所生的儿童（战争中出生的儿童- CBOW）一直是战争的一个特征，但他们在很大程度上一直没有被公众和学术界注意到。该网络计划将研究人员和从业人员聚集在一起，以便更好地了解影响社区组织工作的问题。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，他们中的大多数已经在自己的领域建立了研究记录。此外，军事人员、在最近的冲突中处理战争中出生的儿童问题的非政府组织、决策者（例如联合国）和精神病学家将参加讲习班和有关的研究项目。该网络将侧重于整理和传播现有文献，（b）收集以前收集的关于战争中出生的儿童，特别是儿童兵和维和人员子女的调查和其他数据-通过促进相互交流，了解儿童兵和维和人员的具体问题，以协作研讨会的形式开展学科对话，参与者包括学术研究人员、从业人员和与社区组织工作有关的非政府组织的代表-调整现有工具，为受歧视、为在社区工作组织工作而遭受耻辱和创伤的儿童提供信息-利用社区工作组织及其母亲通过计算机辅助治疗提供的匿名信息，更好地了解儿童的状况，并对社区工作组织，特别是社区服务和社区保护方案进行比较分析。上述目标将通过以下方式实现：--为期两天的圆桌会议--为期三天的关于第二次世界大战期间和之后的CBOW的讲习班--CCS和CP工作组同时举行的为期三天的讲习班--为期两天的总结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：这是唯一一个拥有大量研究数据的社区工作人员群体，可以对创伤和歧视的中长期影响进行评估。一个工作组将调查是否可能将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，以便更全面地了解社区组织妇女的生活历程。2)CCS和CP：以CCS和CP的初步研究为起点，一个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研究采用虚拟创伤心理治疗方法与CBOW合作的可能性。此外，一个跨学科的研讨会，其中包括精神病学家，律师，社会科学家和从业人员将研究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CBOW生命历程。合作研究议程的制定将侧重于使用多语种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测试。这一工具允许（文盲）个人回答标准化的调查表，可以克服在治疗战争受害者、流离失所者和儿童方面的一些关键困难，即文盲、地理限制和/或心理治疗能力方面的限制。工作组将审查是否有可能拟订标准化的调查表，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跨学科研究小组将确定的具体研究问题，同时考虑到与这一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.
