The increasing visibility of violence involving children has led to a recognition of the need to research its underlying dynamics. As a result, we now have a better understanding of the complexities involved in this kind of research, associated with children’s developmental characteristics and social status, exposure to violence, and compromised parenting of caregivers. This paper discusses the issues raised by parental consent in research on violence against children, specifically the dilemma of children’s rights to participation and protection, and proposes changes in research practice in this domain.

Significant progress has been made on implementing children’s rights and securing child well-being in the thirty years since the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Yet millions of children continue to suffer children’s rights violations. Looking forward, this concluding chapter of the volume focuses on two areas: cross-cutting themes in children’s rights and selected critical issues in children’s rights. First, the chapter argues that a core group of key themes are particularly relevant to children’s rights and require greater attention: the time-sensitive nature of children’s rights, the interrelated nature of children’s rights, autonomy’s application to children, child participation, and the need to mainstream both children and children’s rights. The second part of the chapter discusses pressing issues that have and will continue to have major impact on children’s rights, including large-scale human rights crises, the private sector, technology, genetic and related scientific advances, the rise in populism, violence against children, and climate change. Through the combination of these cross-cutting themes and current issues, the chapter maps an agenda for research and advocacy that can advance children’s rights law scholarship and help foster progress toward ensuring the rights and well-being of all children.

SUMMARY Corporal punishment is the most common form of violence against children worldwide, including in Africa. Corporal punishment violates children's rights to respect for their human dignity and physical integrity. The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child provides for every child's right to be protected from violence and ill-treatment. The African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and other human rights bodies consistently examine states on their progress towards prohibiting and eliminating corporal punishment. In the context of the thirtieth anniversary of the African Children's Charter, this article aims to examine the progress made towards the prohibition and elimination of corporal punishment of children in all settings, in Africa. It highlights the challenges and shortcomings in implementing this campaign in Africa. The role of the African Children's Committee in promoting and protecting the human rights imperative to prohibit corporal punishment of children is also examined, especially as regards the legal barriers to end the corporal punishment of children in Africa. Key words: African Children's Charter; children's rights; corporal punishment; Agenda 2040

The number of violations of children’s rights in the form of exploitation and violence against children is increasing in Indonesia. The increase is due to the lack of understanding of children’s rights from related parties. Repositioning children’s rights is needed because children need a specific right and specific protection under a specific human rights framework, so that they do not lose power when establishing relationships with adults; where at this point, children are very vulnerable to treatment discriminatory. The repositioning of children’s rights is carried out by making a protection and enforcement of human rights as guaranteed constitutional rights, which is based on the understanding that human rights are human rights in toto and not merely as an individual’s legal rights in their capacity as legal subjects that are legally listed in the applicable law. The failure of the government to carry out this obligation is violation by omission.
