This article analyses four different contexts in Sweden where children’s rights have been mobilised to govern vulnerabilised migrant childhoods. The concept of ‘vulnerabilisation’ is suggested to capture the political processes creating the conditions for defining and attributing vulnerability. To enable children’s rights to be a productive tool for challenging the repressive governing of migrant families and children, the article argues for the need of a problematisation and contextualisation of both the children’s rights paradigm and the vulnerabilisation of migrant childhoods.

Whilst much has been written about children’s rights and children’s human rights, little appears to have been said about the place children have in the promotion of human rights. This article considers the concept of child in conjunction with citizenship education to take forward children’s promotion of human rights. It is proposed that one approach, where individuals explore views and come to this through reason, dialogue and community engagement, would be through Philosophy with Children (PwC). PwC provides space for children to engage in the political, that they might explore questions relevant to their lives asbeings in society. Such activity would not only prepare children for the political world, since this sees the child as deficit, but would facilitate their engagement politically as children. The article proposes that philosophically deliberative children are required in order to support any society interested in the promotion of human rights.

Principle Of Proportionality

By the judgment of December 16, 2020 in the case file ref. act SK 26/16 The Constitutional Tribunal ruled on the compliance of Art. 106a of the Penal Code with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. At the same time, the adjudication panel noticed the shortcomings of Art. 106a of the Penal Code and addressed the Sejm with a signal that it was necessary to consider an appropriate modification of the aforementioned provision. The author analyzes the issued judgment and the content of the provision under evaluation, placing particular emphasis on the inconsistency of the legal system and the effects of stigmatizing the perpetrator and obstacles to his rehabilitation. The postulate that the political and criminal goals related to the protection of children’s rights should be achieved by other means, while observing the principle of proportionality and individualisation of the consequences of a conviction.

Children's Interests

In the debate on children’s rights, reference is often made to children’s interests but very little attention is paid to what the interests of children actually are, how they come about, and how they contribute to the foundation and understanding of children’s rights and to a practice oriented towards these rights. The author explains the complex relationship between children’s rights and interests, while illuminating some of its reasons and consequences. Since children’s rights are to be understood as human rights, the author takes a more general approach to the political and moral philosophical debate on human rights, in which reference to interests plays an important role. He relates the most important arguments in this debate specifically to children’s rights and offers an interest-based theoretical justification of children’s rights as agency rights.
