Monitoring Children's Rights by Verhellen Pdf

Intense political, social and scientific efforts to improve the position of children are converging rapidly, centered on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is therefore reasonable to assume that there is broad consensus in the international community on how to take the position of children in society seriously. Despite the unique success of the Convention, the situation is such that it forces us, as a matter of urgency, to explore, develop and implement guarantees for effective monitoring of the implementation of the Convention's provisions. In the end, rights are only effective when implemented. This book, containing the contributions made and discussed at the European Conference on Monitoring Children's Rights (organized by Ghent University's Children's Rights Centre in December 1994), presents the results of interdisciplinary research into monitoring to a wider scientific forum. Several monitoring issues are tackled, with particular emphasis on the reporting system: what should be reported (the content of the reports) and who should report (the more formal and procedural aspects of reporting)? Apart from a suitable monitoring mechanism, there is also the self-executing force of the Convention, making it directly enforceable in national courts. Ongoing and dynamic monitoring can be a powerful impetus to making systematic progress in this area. The debate on monitoring the Children's Rights Convention may in this way expand into an attractive and exemplary debate on human rights conventions in general. This book will therefore not only meet the requirements of all those working in the field of children's rights, but can also provide appealing material for all those involved in the field of monitoring human rights.

Monitoring State Compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child by Ziba Vaghri,Jean Zermatten,Gerison Lansdown,Roberta Ruggiero Pdf

This open access book presents a discussion on human rights-based attributes for each article pertinent to the substantive rights of children, as defined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It provides the reader with a unique and clear overview of the scope and core content of the articles, together with an analysis of the latest jurisprudence of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. For each article of the UNCRC, the authors explore the nature and scope of corresponding State obligations, and identify the main features that need to be taken into consideration when assessing a State’s progressive implementation of the UNCRC. This analysis considers which aspects of a given right are most important to track, in order to monitor States' implementation of any given right, and whether there is any resultant change in the lives of children. This approach transforms the narrative of legal international standards concerning a given right into a set of characteristics that ensure no aspect of said right is overlooked. The book develops a clear and comprehensive understanding of the UNCRC that can be used as an introduction to the rights and principles it contains, and to identify directions for future policy and strategy development in compliance with the UNCRC. As such, it offers an invaluable reference guide for researchers and students in the field of childhood and children’s rights studies, as well as a wide range of professionals and organisations concerned with the subject.

Human Rights Monitoring and Implementation by Andressa Gadda,Juliet Harris,E. Kay M. Tisdall,Elizabeth Millership,Ursula Kilkelly Pdf

The collection aims to inspire readers with new approaches to implementing and monitoring the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, to make rights ‘real’ in children’s lives. Children’s human rights are internationally recognised in the legally binding international treaty—the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most ratified of all human rights treaties. Although measures are increasingly being taken to implement the Convention at a national level, more needs to be done to ensure that children’s rights are recognised and supported in their daily lives. This collection brings together the latest research on new approaches to embedding children’s rights into national law and policies, with contributions from academics, practitioners and importantly young activists, from the UK and beyond. This book will be of interest to all human rights advocates, particularly policy makers and practitioners looking for new ways in which to make children’s rights real. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.

Monitoring Child Well-being by Andrew Dawes,Rachel Bray,Amelia Van der Merwe Pdf

Taking a rights-based approach, this comprehensive study develops a conceptual framework and a definitive set of holistic indicators for monitoring the well-being of children in South Africa. Taking cues from the child-rights focus of the South African constitution, it is made clear that it is not just the state of the children that is important to measure, but also the contexts within which the children grow and develop. Providing practical tools for policy makers to assess the effectiveness of child-based policies and interventions, this practical work addresses a wide range of domains--child poverty, HIV and AIDS, education, mental health and disability, abuse and neglect, the justice system, and children affected by the worst forms of labor.

Children's Rights by Smiljana Simeunovic Frick Pdf

This book presents reports prepared by children and submitted to the UN's Committee on the Rights of the Child. Although children's participation has become an important topic in academic literature on childhood or children's rights, neither their participation in the monitoring process of the Children's Rights Convention nor their reports have received due attention so far. Children's reports document their citizenry practices and are a valuable source of information about their perspective on their rights and other related topics. The aim of the book is to give children an opportunity to have their voices heard by the wider public. (Series: Kinder - Jugend - Lebenswelten. Transnationale und interkulturelle Studien - Vol. 7)

Monitoring the Rights of Children by Maggie Black Pdf

In spring 1994, a seminar involving children's rights activists and researchers was held to examine how the monitoring of children's rights, within the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, supports the monitoring of the goals agreed to at the World Summit for Children. The seminar also reviewed the state of the art of child rights monitoring; examined international, national, and sub-national monitoring efforts; and made recommendations to improve the monitoring of children's rights. This seminar report contains sections covering: (1) the monitoring process, including a discussion of indicators of progress and the need to combine watchdog and measurement activities; (2) the holistic vision of children's rights of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the clusters of survival, development, protection, and participation rights and provisions identified at the seminar; (3) monitoring at national, sub-regional, sub-national, and international levels; (4) partnerships and alliances with non-governmental agencies, the research community, the media, and computer-based networks; (5) monitoring child rights in emergencies, as in Burundi and Yugoslavia; and (6) recommendations on monitoring in the context of advocacy and political pressure, monitoring for policy formulation and programming, and monitoring for legal enforcement and compliance.

Measuring and Monitoring Children’s Well-Being by Asher Ben-Arieh,Natalie Hevener Kaufman,Arlene Bowers Andrews,Robert M. George,Bong Joo Lee,L. J. Aber Pdf

Today, any regular newspaper reader is likely to be exposed to reports on manifold forms of (physical, emotional, sexual) child abuse on the one hand, and abnormal behavior, misconduct or offences of children and minors on the other hand. Occasionally reports on children as victims and children as offenders may appear on the same issue or even the same page. Rather seldom the more complex and largely hidden phenomena of structural hostility or indifference of society with a view to children are being dealt with in the press. Such fragmentary, ambiguous, incoherent or even contradictory perception of children in modem society indicates that, firstly, there is a lack of reliable information on modem childhood, and secondly, children are still treated as a comparatively irrelevant population group in society. This conclusion may be surprising in particular when drawn at the end of The Century of the Child proclaimed by Ellen Key as early as 1902. Actually, there exist unclarities and ambiguities about the evolution of childhood in the last century not only in public opinion, but also in scientific literature. While De Mause with his psycho-historic model of the evolution of childhood, comprising different stages from infanticide, abandonment, ambivalence, intrusion, socialisation to support, underlines the continuous improvement of the condition of childhood throughout history and thus rather confirms Key's expectations, Aries, with his social history of childhood, seems to hold a more culturally pessimistic view.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child by Ton Liefaard,Julia Sloth-Nielsen Pdf

This book, based on papers from the conference ‘25 Years CRC’ held by the Department of Child Law at Leiden University, draws together a rich collection of research and insight by academics, practitioners, NGOs and other specialists to reflect on the lessons of the past 25 years, take stock of how international rights find their way into children’s lives at the local level, and explore the frontiers of children’s rights for the 25 years ahead.
