Convention on the Rights of the Child: Background, motivation, strategies, main themes

The adoption and entry into force of the Convention on the rights
of the child is an important milestone in history. The convention is
the result of many years of arduous effort to improve children's
situation in society. It is also the starting point for developing a
new attitude to children.

Obviously making children' rights a part of positive law is not he
end of the matter. There is in fact a clear connection between
legal and social norms (i.e. between legal and social norms (i.e.
between the law and educational science). Educational science,
teaching us how to deal with children, is all about human and
children's rights. Therefore the relationship between educational
and the human rights project, particularly the children's rights
project is central to these book.
