Description
The articles in this volume shed light on some of the major tensions in the field of children s rights (such as the ways in which children s best interests and respect for their autonomy can be reconciled), challenges (such as how the CRC can be made a reality in the lives of children in the face of ignorance, apathy or outright opposition) and critiques (whether children s rights are a Western imposition or a successful global consensus). Along the way, the writing covers a myriad of issues, encompassing the opposition to the CRC in the US; gay parenting: Dr Seuss s take on children s autonomy; the voice of neonates on their health care; the role of NGO in supporting child labourers in India, and young people in detention and more."
