The Future of Children’s Rights Michael Freeman Hotei Publishing, Dec 8, 2014 - Law - 442 pages 0 Reviews This volume is in part intended to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We are now a generation on from its formulation, and, as this varied collection of articles by leading thinkers in the field reflects, childrens rights have come a long way. Yet the aim of this volume is not to look back, but to take stock and look forward. It explores subjects as diverse as socio-economic rights, corporal punishment, language and scientific progress as they relate to children and their rights, and offers new insights and new ideas. Edited by one of the most respected and leading scholars in the field, The Future of Childrens Rights constitutes a stimulating and useful resource for academics and practitioners alike.
