INTRODUCTION: THREE DECADES OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS LAW

Abstract

As a legal commentary on the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and its Protocols, this work seeks mainly to situate and contextualise the legal content of the children’s rights provisions included in these documents in a comprehensive and concise fashion, all the while addressing the legal challenges and impacts of developments that have taken place in the last three decades since the adoption of the CRC. It also engages with other disciplines and fields, in particular international relations and childhood studies.
