Produktbeschreibung
This book is written as a comparative legal analysis which interrogates the child rights implementation in three countries; South Africa, Kenya, India and with reference to Nigeria. These countries are as pluralistic and diverse as Nigeria. They are also as multi-ethnic, multi-religious and culturally diverse with a poor population in the rural areas. The Republic of South Africa as well as Kenya, Nigeria and India have a common law heritage as former British colonies, though South Africa has a much more convoluted background. Most of the Children's Act/Laws in these four countries were specifically tailored after the United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and it is noticeable that most of the provisions are mere repetitions or reproduction of the UNCRC. The part that worries legal academics and researchers is that the normative framework is lacking in African values and content with exception to India. The book advocates for a need to include African normsto form the needed bleed in these Child Right legislations. The challenge which is a major question in this book is whether the enactment has served its purpose which is to safeguard children's rights.
