Future directions Bibliography Index Review This book provides a short yet comprehensive introduction to the field of childrens rights. Blending a legal approach with contextual and theoretical contributions from other disciplines—including sociological and anthropological sciences—it delivers an analysis that is both unique and easily relatable. This book successfully provides an insightful overview of the different rights held by children, while integrating multidisciplinary and critical insights into its examination. It thus makes an excellent entry point for readers wishing to familiarize themselves with this topic and/or to deepen their knowledge of the field of childrens rights. -- Lucie Margot Ducarre, International Journal of Law, Policy and the FamilyThis Advanced Introduction to Childrens Rights is thoroughly based on international human rights law, but it also offers a comprehensive view of the distinct approach of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. As such, it carefully delineates the equal, differentiated and special rights enumerated in the Convention. It will be an invaluable resource for general and specialised readers. -- Dinah Shelton, The George Washington University Law School, USThis comprehensive and compelling overview of the nature and scope of States legal obligations towards children could not be more timely. Children continue to bear the brunt of some of the most devastating, sustained infringements of their rights as States grapple with the economic and political fallout of war, the climate crisis, mass displacement and a global pandemic. This book offers a crucial guide to the history and evolution of childrens rights law, and helps us navigate fundamental questions such as: how children and childhood are and should be defined; who bears ultimate responsibility for delivering on their rights; and the extent to which childrens rights should be prioritised over the rights of adults. -- Helen Stalford, University of Liverpool, UKBased on their extensive earlier work on childrens rights, Vandenhole and Erdem TÜrkelli provide a quick, yet authoritative and comprehensive, introduction to childrens rights. Their typology of childrens rights respectively as equal rights shared with adults, differentiated (and often enhanced) rights, and special (often protection) rights, works well for any reader and provides useful new insights. -- Karin Arts, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands Review Quote This comprehensive and compelling overview of the nature and scope of States legal obligations towards children could not be more timely.
