This work reviews the progress of children's rights 25 years since
the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It
studies the progress of that human rights instrument as part of an
ongoing process. It examines how recent past, present and future
generations will benefit or suffer as part of the process in which
outcomes cannot be predicted. It does not project into the future.
Its emphasis is on a review of the period after 1989 and it
comments on what has happened and offering guidance on how
children's rights might progress. The book presents a realistic but
not always critical review of two and a half decades of intensive
activity in the field of children's rights worldwide. It includes
both failures and examples of good practice and positive
experiences. It offers a review of progress and lack of progress in
child rights and welfare in the twelve countries used as case
studies in its predecessor, The Next Generation. Finally, the
volume considers the impact of current geopolitical and economic
realities on children's rights in the early years of the
twenty-first century. The book is a tribute to Judith Ennew and
pays homage to all of the people who have contributed so much to
children's rights over the years and wishes to encourage others to
take up the cause.
