This concluding chapter begins with a discussion of how the global coronavirus pandemic called attention to children’s rights issues, specifically in how children were not allowed to participate in decisions directly affecting their “best interests,” as required by CRC. Granting children human rights will fundamentally alter the nature of both democracy and human rights. Giving children citizenship rights will renew democracy, as past enfranchisements have, but also will push democracies to resemble less Western, liberal models. Group rights will predominate in democracies where children are full citizens. Also, the human rights agendas of child-incorporating democracies will be dominated by social and economic rights issues, since children’s rights of protection and provision will be given priority. Finally, children’s participation rights will emerge as crucial in diminishing structural inequality in democratic societies, providing a pathway to a fuller form of social justice predicated on the human rights of children.

Rights Issues

In advancing children’s rights, and human rights more broadly, this article supports the view that participation through deliberation by children is desirable. Practising Philosophy with Children, through an approach such as Community of Philosophical Inquiry, is proposed as a powerful way forward as a rights-based means of supporting children to deliberate about matters affecting them in society. In considering that children are educated about, through and for rights, an example of children’s philosophical dialogue is provided to illustrate children deliberating on rights issues, and how teachers might use such dialogue to influence their teaching in this area. The suggestion is that participating in practical philosophy enables children to practise human rights behaviour as a means of participating beyond consultation exercises and as an approach to facilitating their engagement with ideas and issues that are important to the promotion of rights for all.

Vanaga analizē bērnu materiālo vajadzību nodrošināšanai nepieciešamo uzturlīdzekļu būtību un apjomu atkarībā no bērna juridiskā statusa. Publikācijā ir atspoguļota arī valsts un pašvaldību izveidotā atbalsta koncepcija, nodrošinot bērniem uzturlīdzekļus materiālo vajadzību risināšanai, kā arī problemātika, kas saistīta ar uzturlīdzekļu pierādīšanu un to piedziņu tiesvedības procesā.

Teachers Attitudes

The Convention on the Rights of the Child emphasizes that the education of the child should be directed to the development of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. However, though Hong Kong is a one of the States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the government does not put much emphasis on promoting Convention on the Rights of the Child. Children’s rights education is not compulsory in schools or in teacher training institutions in Hong Kong. It is detrimental if teachers do not possess adequate knowledge and positive attitudes towards children’s rights as they hold a crucial role in educating children about their rights and nurturing rights-respecting students. Through modifying Rogers and Wrightsman’s Children’s Rights Attitudes Scale, the present research examined pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards children’s self-determination rights, nurturance rights, and the conflict between self-determination and nurturance rights, and also their knowledge of children’s rights, in order to uncover the areas of improvements.

Children, But Not Really Humans? Critical Reflections on the Hampering Effect of the "3 p's"

Critical Reflections

AbstractIn this paper, the widespread use of the "3 p's", provision, protection and participation, to categorise children's rights is critically examined. This conceptualisation is argued to have hampering effects on research in children's rights, in that it frames the research in a problematic way and hinders the possibilities of attaining theoretically driven analyses. In the paper, the emergence and use of the 3 p's is first traced and discussed. Thereafter, an alternative language for constructing and analysing children's rights is proposed, namely the vocabulary used for general human rights: civil, political and social rights. When children's rights are placed within the development of human rights and conceptualised accordingly, a different understanding of the content of children's rights surfaces. The theoretical contextualisation that is then added is suggested as a way of approaching contradictions and conflicts surrounding children's rights issues with more theoretical depth and nuances.
