Produktbeschreibung

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989 is one of the most highly ratified human rights treaties in the world, with 193 states currently signed up to it. Article 12 is fundamental to the Convention and covers the right of all children capable of forming views to be heard in decisions affecting them. This book examines Article 12 and the extent to which it has been internationally implemented.

In her examination of comments and recommendations given by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and experts in the field of children's rights and child participation, Aiylin Parkes offers valuable insight for institutions and individuals working for and with children.
