Human rights tend to focus on the relationship between the
individual and the state the individual is the rights-holder, the
state is the duty-holder. Children's rights bring a third player
much more into the picture, namely the parents. Although, legally
speaking, they are not duty-holders under the UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child, parents do have a number of responsibilities
under the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other human
rights instruments. Child rearing may still be considered by many
to be within the private domain, i.e. a matter of concern only
within the relationship between children and their parents, with
the exception of instances of child abuse or neglect. However,
States may be obligated to turn parental responsibilities into
national legal duties if this is needed to improve the legal and
social position of children. In this volume, child-rearing
responsibilities are examined in the light of children's rights and
other human rights. All the contributions focus in particular on
the proposal to introduce an upbringing (or parenting) pledge. The
upbringing pledge contains not only a statement of lasting
commitment towards the child, but also an explicit declaration of
commitment to respect and promote the rights of the child both as a
person and as a human being who is utterly dependent upon parents
for wellbeing and the development of his or her personality. By
means of the upbringing pledge as a child rights-based social
institution, the responsibilities of society and the state towards
both parents and children are re-affirmed as well.
