Childrens Rights: A Commentary on the Convention on the Rights of the Child and

Description: Childrens Rights by Wouter Vandenhole, Sara Lembrechts, Gamze Erdem Türkelli This comprehensive Commentary presents a contemporary legal perspective on the inherently interdisciplinary field of childrens rights. Chapters analyse each article of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, along with its Optional Protocols, providing contextualised information on the interpretation and implementation of the childrens rights provisions therein. A detailed introduction examines the history of the Convention and places it within the wider landscape of human rights and other disciplinary approaches such as the sociology of childhood. The Commentary critically engages with the text of the Convention, exploring commonly used concepts and defining pertinent terminology. The authors draw on multiple perspectives and refer to disciplines outside of law to enrich the analysis of the articles, their interpretation and the study of childrens rights as a discipline. Featuring examples of case law from regional human rights systems this Commentary provides a well-rounded insight into the status of childrens rights on a global scale. Written in an accessible style, this Commentary will be a valuable reference work for students, researchers, practitioners and policymakers alike. The Commentary will be of great interest to those working within childrens rights law and human rights law. Researchers in politics, sociology and international studies who are seeking further information and insight on the rights of children will also find this Commentary to be a useful point of reference.
