The Human Rights of Children (eBook, ePUB)

From Visions to Implementation
Redaktion: Williams, Jane

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume provides a series of analyses of some of the contemporary debates in relation to the human rights of children, resituating them within visions which informed the text of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. Authors examine some of today's interpretations of the CRC as well as what is implied by a human rights-based approach in research and advocacy. They consider advances and barriers to research and to several aspects of CRC implementation. With contributions by leading experts in the field, the book examines the CRC as an international instrument, its inherent dilemmas and some of the debates generated by the challenges of implementation at different levels of governance.
