Children's Rights Law in the Global Human Rights Landscape

This academic work examines children's rights law not as an isolated specialty but as an integrated component of the broader human rights framework. The book systematically explores how children's legal protections intersect with general human rights principles, investigating whether concepts from each domain can meaningfully inform the other. It pays particular attention to distinctive aspects of children's rights law including the "best interests of the child" standard and the inclusion of third parties like parents and guardians.

What makes this volume compelling is its refusal to treat children's legal protections as a niche subject, instead positioning them as central to understanding human rights law as a whole. The analysis will resonate most with law students, human rights scholars, and policy professionals seeking to understand how specialized legal frameworks connect to universal rights principles. By bridging these traditionally separate fields, the book offers fresh perspectives that could reshape how we conceptualize rights protection across all age groups.
