In this paper, I focus on one of the children’s rights, which Janusz Korczak raised in his writings, namely the child’s right to the present day, which I understand as a postulate to appreciate the dignity of a child in its everyday life. My aim in this paper is, therefore, not only to reconstruct and uncover the complexities of this postulate, but also to theoretically embed this concept in pedagogical narratives about the child, and more specifically in anthropology of education and upbringing. In order to achieve this aim, 1. I will describe two paths in thinking about the relationship between human beings and their culture, taking into account especially its temporal dimension. Then I will proceed to 2. the concept of children’s rights in Korczak’s understanding of the child subjectivity; in order to indicate 3. the radical and ethical character of message his thinking.

This paper considers Family Support as a fundamental right of the child. It examines the relationship between the well-being of the child as the core concept of contemporary legal and welfare systems and family as a vital institution in society for the protection, development and ensuring the overall well-being of the child. Considering the fact that international legal standards recognise that children’s rights are best met in the family environment, the paper analyses what kind of support is being provided to families by the modern societies in the exercising of children’s rights and with what rhetoric and outcomes. Family Support is also considered as a specific, theoretically grounded and empirically tested practical approach to exercising and protecting the rights of the child. Finally, international legal standards are observed in the context of contemporary theory and practice of Family Support, while the conclusion provides the implications of such an approach.

<p>The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted and ratified in 1990 by the UN<br />General Assembly, and signed by most member countries of the United Nations. However, its<br />implementation is slow, complex, and can to-date be considered as incomplete in most<br />countries, particularly as children’s rights often seem to be in contradiction with traditional<br />perceptions of children as dependent, immature and incompetent human beings under their<br />parents’ tutelage. Furthermore, it appears that children’s rights are at risk of colliding with the<br />rights of the family. These issues are even more strongly highlighted when it comes to<br />children with disabilities, as those children often are perceived as vulnerable and incompetent.<br />The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of 2006 emphasizes the right<br />to full participation based on the social model of disability, including the right to inclusive<br />education for children with disabilities. This article addresses both conventions, the<br />contradictions within but also with each other, which impede the rights of children with<br />disabilities as much as traditional perceptions of childhood do. It will then demonstrate how<br />the recognition of the rights of children with disabilities can be improved by using the<br />frameworks of sociology of childhood (Corsaro, 2015) and the work on relationship building<br />and solidarity by Honneth (1995). Lastly, the article will give examples of how to implement<br />and respect the rights of children with disabilities in schools, by using the example of the<br /><em>Index for Inclusion</em>.</p>

In this article I explore the intersections of children's human rights, social policy, and qualitative inquiry from a social work perspective. First, I consider the relationship between human rights work and social work. Second, I argue that children add complexity to the human rights debate. In doing so, I briefly examine the conflict between children's rights as developed in the United States and that of the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child. Third, I turn to a specific qualitative research project in which a team of researchers conducted an in-depth study of the prosecution of child sexual abuse in one U.S. jurisdiction. I argue that the findings from this study illustrate how qualitative inquiry can reveal conflicting and often hidden value trade-offs that must be addressed when enacting and enforcing children's human rights. This study demonstrates what qualitative inquiry has to offer policy advocates who seek to promote children's human rights.

The scale evaluates the attitudes of the parents toward their children’s rights as two main attitudes, ‘Care and Protection’ and ‘Self-Determination’. In ‘Care and Protection’ attitude, there are two sub-dimensional structures as ‘Government Assurance and Support’ and ‘Care and Protection’. The ‘Self-Determination’ attitude has a single sub-dimensional structure. In the analysis of data, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program was used beside necessary statistical techniques. The data obtained regarding the effect of parents' education levels on their attitudes toward children’s rights are presented in a tabular form with respective frequencies.

Regulation on the age limit for a marriage through Act No. 16 of 2019 is based on the spirit of anti-discrimination and protection of children's rights from the adverse effects of child marriage. However, the efforts to complicate and prevent child marriage has yet to have a significant impact on reducing the rate of child marriage in Indonesia. This condition is occurred by the high level of applications for marriage dispensation that are granted by the court. Hence, the construction of the judge's reasoning in observe the relationship between the substance of the law and the reasons for proposing marriage dispensation is one of the most vital and influential elements. The positivism-legism legal reasoning used in understanding of Act No.16 of 2019 is considered to be the cause of the malfunction of the regulation in protecting and guaranteeing children's human rights. By using doctrinal legal research methods, this research produces a conceptual analysis in the form of a meta-juridical critique on positivist legal reasoning which tends to lead to the legism when trying to understand the objectives of Act No. 16 of 2019 and proposes a progressive legal notion as an ideal reasoning framework in producing decisions on applications for dispensation of marriage that have a perspective on the protection and guarantee of children's rights.

The empirical reality regarding the issue of care and protection for children is still a global concern. It is necessary to find rules regarding the protection and care of children. Comparing several rules in legislation, human rights and Islamic law in strengthening the position of children as human beings who must receive care and protection. This research is a literature review with a normative juridical approach. Examining various literatures by focusing on aspects of laws and regulations related to care, child protection, human rights and Islamic law. The techniques of analysis used were descriptive and comparative. The findings of this study indicate that child care and protection falls into the category of fulfilling human rights. Child protection is in line with the universal principles of human rights and has a legal umbrella and the power to obtain care and protection. However, the existing regulations have not been maximally implemented. In Islamic law, children have a very high guarantee of protection, this is included in the category of caring for children as the goal of sharia (maqashid syari'ah). The implication of this finding is that the protection of children's rights cannot be negotiated, because the state and religion have provided protection, so what must be enforced is the supervision of the fulfillment of children's rights.

The relationship between climate change and children’s rights has been explicitly recognized in the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change. This chapter considers how the enjoyment of children’s rights can be endangered by climate change and critically discusses the potentialities and limitations of children’s access to justice before international and regional human rights bodies to hold states accountable for their failure to protect these rights. The chapter concludes with some key challenges for states, human rights bodies, NGOs, and children themselves, suggesting, inte alia, that states should adopt a fully integrated approach toward climate policies, sustainable development, and their obligations under the Convention on Rights of the Child and that children, with the support of NGOs and other stakeholders, should fully exploit their access to justice and their participatory rights to influence decision-making on climate change that directly affects their current and future lives.

AbstractChildren's rights and children's wellbeing are often casually paired together in both academic literature and policy discussions, but they differ conceptually, methodologically and politically. This has become particularly evident in Scotland, where ‘landmark’ children's legislation in 2014 has set up a clash between statutory requirements for children's rights and children's wellbeing. This article utilises the Scottish example to wrestle with the advantages and disadvantages of each concept as a framework for policy and practice. The article concludes that children's wellbeing benefits from being aspirational and maximising, easily incorporating children's relationships and collective needs, and having advanced quantitative methods of measurement. But children's wellbeing also risks being apolitical, utilitarian and professionally led in both measurement and practice. Children's rights, in contrast, emphasise minimum standards, do not easily include important matters for children, such as love and friendship, and have limited quantitative investment to date. Yet they are politically powerful, backed by law, and hold duty bearers accountable. Decisions need to be made about the relationship between children's rights and children's wellbeing – and which is the primary framing for policy and practice – because they are not equivalent concepts.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted in 1989, becoming the first international binding instrument to explicitly recognise children as human beings with innate rights. The Convention on the Rights of the Child sets out children's rights across all areas of their lives, including education. Given that education is crucial for the short-, medium- and long-run well-being of every child, the main stress is on implementing and protecting this right in important international human and children's rights treaties. The author highlights problems arising from selected cases of infringements of children’s right to education, especially in ECtHR decisions. In the last section, attention is paid to the COVID-19 crisis and its impact on children's right to education.
