The Convention on the Rights of the Child and its conception of childhood
Discussions about the Convention on the Rights of the Child are often excessively legalistic. This obscures the possibility for a deeper engagement with the text of the Convention to identify its underlying values and conception of childhood. This paper engages with this less chartered terrain. It first traces the shift from an instrumentalist, to a welfarist, to a rights-based conception of childhood. Next, it explores the discrete features of t…
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most extensive and widely ratified international human rights treaty. This Commentary offers a comprehensive analysis of each of the substantive provisions in the Convention and its Optional Protocols on Children and Armed Conflict, and the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution, and Pornography. It provides a detailed insight into the drafting history of these instruments, the scope a…
To Prohibit or Permit
The rapid expansion of international commercial surrogacy arrangements has created serious ethical and legal dilemmas with respect to the nationality and parentage of children conceived under such arrangements and the potential exploitation of surrogate mothers. This paper examines these dilemmas through the prism of international human rights law to assess whether a prohibitionist or permissive approach should be adopted with respect to this pra…
Justifying Children’s Rights
The conceptual foundations of children’s rights remain under theorized. This paper develops a social interest theory of rights to offer a justification for the conception of rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It reveals that this conception is capable of producing a culturally sensitive, dynamic, inclusive and relational conception of rights that remedies many of the deficiencies associated with the traditional conception …

Public International Law and the Regulation of Private Spaces
Opposition to the adoption of children by gays and lesbians is invariably based on the claim that such a practice is contrary to the rights and best interests of children. The aim of this article is to examine this claim in light of the provisions of the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child. It will be argued that an approach to the interpretation of a child's rights and best interests which is based on empirical evidence reveals…
The International Obligation to Abolish Traditional Practices Harmful to Children's Health
Article 24(3) of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child imposes an obligation on States to abolish traditional practices harmful to the health of children. This article seeks to examine the nature of this obligation, the types of practices to be abolished and the measures required of States to achieve this end. It argues that the prejudice of a particular practice to the health of a child cannot be reduced to a simple bio-medica…

The psychiatric defence and international criminal law
Following the development of the International Criminal Court (ICC) the mental state of the perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes will become a more important issue in regard to defence and mitigating factors. This article examines how the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in particular has dealt with the mental illness defence to date, and how its judgements can serve as guidance for the …

This study examines the social and environmental disclosures of BHP Ltd (one of the largest Australian companies) from 1983 to 1997 to ascertain the extent and type of annual report social and environmental disclosures over the period, and whether such disclosures can be explained by the concepts of a social contract and legitimacy theory. This research is also motivated by the opportunity to compare and contrast results with those of Guthrie and…

The Complete English Poems
George Herbert combined the intellectual and the spiritual, the humble and the divine, to create some of the most moving devotional poetry in the English language. His deceptively simple verse uses the ingenious arguments typical of seventeenth-century metaphysical' poets, and unusual imagery drawn from musical structures, the natural world and domestic activity to explore a mosaic of Biblical themes. From the wit and wordplay of The Pulley' and …

Collective Bargaining Assures Stability
for a number of years, not always in an official capacity, however. For thirty-two years I worked at the anvil as a blacksmith; for the past twelve years I have been a local representative, and for ten years I have been an international representative. I believe this experience should give me some conception of the attitude of the worker towards some of the plans that have been outlined in the collective bar
