Litigating the Rights of the Child provides
insight in the role of the CRC in domestic jurisprudence in ten
countries from different parts of the world, with civil law,
common law and Islamic law systems. In addition, it offers
analyses of the jurisprudence of regional courts, in Europe and
the Americas, and of human rights treaty bodies, including the
Human Rights Committee, Committee on the Elimination of
Discrimination against Women and the African Committee of Experts
on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. This book presents a
global and comparative picture on the use of the CRC in
litigation and identifies emerging trends. This book serves as an
important source of reference and inspiration for academics,
students, legal professionals, including judges and lawyers, and
(inter)national organisations working in the area of children’s
rights.
