Ashgate's summary:
"The European Convention on Human Rights is the most successful
system for the enforcement of human rights in the world. However, to
date its potential for protecting children's rights has been explored
as attention has focused on the UN Convention on the Rights of the
Child. This unique book provides the first analysis of the extensive
case law of the Commission and the Court of Human Rights on all
issues concerning children and their rights. This study is important
as a study of the regional protection of children's rights and,
moreover, the case law itself can be directly applied in the legal
system of nearly every European country. The book includes chapters
on the rights of the child under the European Convention on Human
Rights in relation to education, protection from abuse, the right to
identity, child care, juvenile justice, health care and equal
treatment. It also explores the potential of the Strasbourg mechanism
for the protection of children's rights and thus provides a practical
and vital guide to the study and use of the European Convention in
the broad area of children's rights."
This publication comprises part of the Programme on International
Rights of the Child Series.
