"This commentary examines the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and its 3 additional protocols by providing a detailed commentary on each of its articles. It pays particular attention to the General Comments, the Concluding Observations and the views of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The strengthening of children's rights through the UN Convention and its 3 protocols influences general human rights protection at a universal and regional level. The provisions of the UN Convention also impact the national legal system, making this book required reading for international human rights lawyers."-- Provided by publisher.
