THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD IN A CHANGING WORLD GEB...

This book deals with the implementation of the rights of the child as enshrined in the
Convention on the Rights of the Child in 21 countries from Europe  Asia  Australia  and the
USA. It gives an overview of the legal status of children regarding their most salient rights 
such as the implementation of the best interest principle  the right of the child to know about
of his her origin  the right to be heard  to give medical consent  the right of the child in
the field of employment  religious education of children  prohibition of physical punishment 
protection of the child through deprivation of parental rights and in the case of inter-country
adoption. In the last 25 years since the Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted 
many States Parties to the Convention have made great efforts to pass legislation regulating
the rights of the child  in their commitment to the improvement of the legal status of the
child. However  is that enough for any child to live better  safer  and healthier? What are the
practical effects of this international as well as many national instruments in the everyday
life of children? Have there been any outcomes in terms of improvement of their status around
the world  and improvement of the conditions under which they live  since the Convention
entered into force? In tackling these questions  this work presents a comparative overview of
the implementation of the Convention  and evaluates the results achieved.
