Following the 30th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on
the Rights of the Child in 2020, and the creation of the UN
Sustainable Development Goals, there is increased interest in and a
need to develop national human rights' bodies for children's
rights. This book provides an in-depth look at one domestic
independent children's rights institution: the Irish Ombudsman for
Children's Office, to highlight the learnings for an international
audience and the methodologies that can be used to promote and
protect children's rights at a national level. Co-authored by
Ireland's first Ombudsman for Children and a children's rights
professor, the book will present an original and informed analysis
of how a national human rights institution can advocate, most
effectively, for the rights of children. By using illustrative case
studies, the book will highlight how the powers of a national human
rights institution can be put to strategic use to address specific
children's rights deficits in areas of child protection, youth
detention and public awareness about children's rights. Each
chapter focusses on a case study, identifies a problem, the
approach or intervention by the Ombudsman for Children, the outcome
and reflects on lessons learned. It ensures that the cases can be
extracted, examined and replicated in other jurisdictions by an
international community interested in the promotion, monitoring and
protection of children's rights. It speaks to those interested in
Human Rights; Children's Rights; Socio-legal studies, Social Work;
Childhood Studies; Administrative Law, Constitutional Law and
International Law, and to practitioners and policy-makers in this
field.
