Subject: child offenders


I am doctoral student in the U.S. writing my dissertation on the
international norm banning the execution of child offenders.

I am looking for a comprehensive list of international historical
practices of executing children, both in domestic law and in practice. I
am currently employing Amnesty International's archives but I have yet to
find such a list.

Do you know if anyone or any organization has collected information
regarding state practices of executing (or legally abolishing the
execution of) child offenders? Do you know any other scholar or NGO that
has done this type of research? Thank you very much for your help.
Yours,
Robyn Linde
