This brief reference surveys the national policy of three
representative African countries on the legal guardianship of
children who are without parents or families. Focusing on the
widely varying legal systems of Cote d'Ivoire, South Africa, and
Uganda, the authors highlight guardianship as emblematic of the
continent's shortcomings in child protection laws. The book's key
objective is bridging the communal aspects of traditional African
society with the global standards set forth by the Convention on
the Rights of the Child and other international entities. To this
end, the three frameworks discussed here are compared and their
strengths and limitations evaluated as applied to child protection
standards in terms of core guardianship issues: Holders of parental
authority and responsibilities Appointment of a legal guardian Who
qualifies as a legal guardian? Responsibilities of a legal guardian
in relation to the child Termination of guardianships The primary
audience for Perspectives on the Legal Guardianship of Children in
Cote d'Ivoire, South Africa, and Uganda includes academics,
researchers, and students in the fields of children's rights, human
rights, legal guardianship, and international law. It will also
prove a useful reference for NGOs that focus on children's rights,
social workers and practitioners operating within the context of
these three countries, professionals working within the African
human rights system, and governmental law- and policymakers.
