The challenges for children’s rights in international child protection
International perspectives on the participation of children and young people in the Global South
This paper presents findings from a study exploring children’s participation and protection rights. The research was conducted by the International and Canadian Child Rights Partnership (ICCRP) – a multi-sectoral partnership, involving academic institutions, non-government organisations, and young people in five countries. Although funding came from a Canadian federal agency, partners adopted a decolonial approach to break down inequitable power …
Fostering global dialogue
The children's rights and child protection sectors are at a critical juncture: will they evolve to reflect and respond to changing conceptualisations in the 21st century or will they continue to reproduce 19th‐ and 20th‐century preoccupations with saving child victims? Informed by systematic reviews of the English‐ and Latin American academic literature in Spanish and Portuguese and key informant interviews with international stakeholders, this p…

The general measures of implementation
How can the general measures of implementation (GMIs) of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child support progress with children’s rights? The GMIs advance understandings of the status of children’s rights and facilitate their implementation over time. This paper explores five GMIs: education, awareness and training; monitoring; budgeting; coordination; and plans of action. Drawing on various international examples, it demonstrate…

A child’s right to participate
Child protection is an essential international policy and programming priority involving various efforts. While different actors attempt to redress child protection issues, it is unclear how they appreciate and respect child participation in their work. Consequently, the essential question for this article is how child participation is understood and implemented in international child protection efforts. The child’s rights to participate and to p…
A Child Rights-Based Approach to Anti-Violence Efforts in Schools
Attention to school violence amongst children has grown over the last decade with increased research, civil society programmes, government policies and legislation to prevent and counter bullying and other types of violence. Yet, there is a major gap in current research and efforts due to the absence of a child rights-based approach ( crba ). What does a crba to anti-violence efforts involve? This paper provides a rationale in favour of a rights-…
The relationship between children's rights and business
While the connection between business and human rights is beginning to be elaborated in international affairs, there continues to be a significant lack of understanding and academic analysis about the relationship between business and children. International children's rights are more than a legal concern, they provide a framework to interpret and assess situations, and to implement and monitor change. This article poses two questions. First, how…
International Child Rights in National Constitutions
This paper explores how international child rights have empowered Ireland's institutions and actors to advocate for the incorporation of child rights into the national constitution. Moreover, the constitution and child rights hold more than legal significance, influencing political, economic, social and interpersonal spheres in a country. Consequently, constitutional child rights should improve respect of and the general situation of children. As…
Respecting the principle of best interests of the child in Canadian monitoring
This paper considers the relationship between the procedural concern of monitoring international child rights and the general principle of best interests of the child. Canadian monitoring processes to determine the situation of child rights are analysed using the best interests principle as a lens. It is argued that despite the importance of the best interests principle in relation to monitoring, many Canadian actors or processes continue to refl…
Children, Families and Violence
The Significance of Different Approaches to Human Rights Monitoring
Due to the lacunae between legal obligations to human rights and the actual situation, monitoring is an essential component of the international and national human rights system as it illuminates the situation of human rights commitments and ensures the relevancy of instruments. But how is monitoring carried out? The article explores monitoring in relation to the rights of the child and presents analysis about how actors interpret and execute mon…
