| Summary: |
"The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) requires states parties to take all appropriate measures to implement the rights in the Convention. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Convention's adoption, focus has shifted onto the measures being taken at national level to give effect to children's rights with specific reference to legal incorporation both direct and indirect. The way in which the CRC is given legal effect is highly contingent upon the constitutional and legal systems of individual countries and can best be understood by those writing from the specific national context. So this book combines individual contributions that address the experience of legal incorporation in selected countries, by their national experts, with comparative analysis of the international landscape from the world's leading authorities on legal implementation of the CRC"--Back cover. |
