The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child was
incorporated into international law in 1989. Since its adoption, it
has been ratified by nearly all member nations. An outline of the
basic rights of all persons under the age of 18, the Convention has
various implications and its importance cannot be contested. This
collection focuses on children's rights as defined by the U.N.
Convention, and their relevance in both national and international
contexts.
The contributors discuss the Convention from different
disciplinary perspectives, but are united in the belief that it is
a tool to be utilized and contextualized by individuals,
institutions, and communities. If there is a single conviction to
be found throughout Children's Rights it is that the rights of the
child are far too important to be left to states alone to provide
and protect. To paint a detailed picture of the subject as a whole,
the volume looks at situations in which the basic rights of
children are often denied such as violent social conflict, parental
abandonment, and social inequality. Consisting of thirteen essays
by prominent scholars, it is an in-depth and interdisciplinary
exploration of the significance of children's rights, and a
tremendous resource for those working with children and youth in
institutional and educational settings.
