Since its adoption in 1989, the Convention on the Rights of the Child has achieved almost universal ratification. This Handbook is a practical tool for all those involved in implementing the principles & provisions of the Convention & realizing the human rights of children. Under each article of the Convention, the Handbook records & analyses the interpretation by the Committee on the Rights of the Child, the internationally-elected body of independent experts established to monitor progress worldwide. The Handbook adds analysis of relevant provisions in other international instruments, comments from other United Nations bodies & global conferences, as well as illustrative examples of implementation from countries around the world. Throughout, the Handbook emphasizes the convention's holistic approach to children's rights: that they are indivisible & interrelated & that equal importance should be attached to each & every right recognized therein.Rachel Hodgkin is the author of 'Implementation handbook for the Convention on the Rights of the Child' with ISBN 9789280633375 and ISBN 9280633376.
