Children who live and work on the streets or work in commercial
situations at a young age, are subjected to gross injustice and are
frequently neglected by national law --- despite the fact that
almost every country has signed and ratified the UN Convention on
the Rights of the Child.This is a one-stop guide both for
experienced advocates and for non-specialists in the field. It
explains how to use regional and international treaties and
mechanisms for the protection and defense of street and working
children when national law fails. The last fifty years have seen
the emergence of a range of human rights treaties together with
permanent monitoring systems established by the UN. While these are
imperfect tools, they can be very useful in supporting national
campaigns, and creating pressure for legislative reform or an end
to particular violations.This manual, which presents information in
an accessible question-and-answer format, is divided into three
sections for ease of reference: the first section defines
substantive rights --- survival, fair treatment, and empowerment;
the second section provides practical guidelines on how to use
regional and international human rights systems such as the
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, or the UN Committee on
Torture; the last section contains a comprehensive list of human
rights documents with tables by country detailing the status and
the stage in the implementation process of each of the convention
in each country.
