The Protection of Children's Human Rights in Europe

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the protection of children's human rights, this book explores the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights. It delves into the European Court of Human Rights' jurisprudence on corporal punishment and child abuse in the UK, highlighting significant flaws in both legal frameworks. The analysis critiques the ECHR's narrow scope and the CRC's weak implementation mechanisms, advocating for a stronger integration of the detailed standards of the UN Convention with the effective individual petition system in Europe.
