Summary
"Children's rights law is often studied and perceived in isolation from the broader field of human rights law. This volume explores the inter-relationship between children's right law and more general human rights law in order to see whether elements from each could successfully inform the other. Children's rights law has a number of distinctive characteristics, such as the emphasis on the 'best interests of the child', the use of general principles and the includion of 'third parties' (e.g. parents and other carers) in treaty provisions."--Page [1].
