The Jurisprudence on the Rights of the Child (4 Vols)

The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most ratified of all the United Nations Human Rights treaties. Adopted by 191 nations, it is a comprehensive treaty covering the child's civil-political, economic-social-cultural and humanitarian rights. In over twenty years since the Convention went into force, the Committee on the Rights of the Child has issued its evaluation of the reports of State Parties on their progress in implementing the Convention and their recommendation for future improvements. This book provides quick access to the Committee's jurisprudence in an article-by-article basis. By dividing the Concluding Observations for each State Party into sections corresponding to specific articles of the Convention, a researcher can identify the exact language of the Committee's comment on a particular article for each State Party and can evaluate trends in the Committee interpretation.
