Klappentext zu „Monitoring State Compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child “
This open access book presents a discussion on human rights-based attributes for each article pertinent to the substantive rights of children, as defined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It provides the reader with a unique and clear overview of the scope and core content of the articles, together with an analysis of the latest jurisprudence of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. For each article of the UNCRC, the authors explore the nature and scope of corresponding State obligations, and identify the main features that need to be taken into consideration when assessing a State's progressive implementation of the UNCRC. This analysis considers which aspects of a given right are most important to track, in order to monitor States' implementation of any given right, and whether there is any resultant change in the lives of children. This approach transforms the narrative of legal international standards concerning a given right into a set of characteristics that ensure no aspect of said right is overlooked. The book develops a clear and comprehensive understanding of the UNCRC that can be used as an introduction to the rights and principles it contains, and to identify directions for future policy and strategy development in compliance with the UNCRC. As such, it offers an invaluable reference guide for researchers and students in the field of childhood and children's rights studies, as well as a wide range of professionals and organisations concerned with the subject.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Monitoring State Compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child “

Ziba Vaghri is an Associate Professor and the director of the GlobalChild program of research within the Integrated Health Initiative (IHI) at the University of New Brunswick-Saint John. She is a distinguished researcher in Global Health and among the leading scholars creating links between child rights and child development. She has received several awards and recognitions. The most recent is a 5-year Scholar Award from the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (2015-2020).She was trained and mentored by one of the pioneers of early child development, the late Dr. Clyde Hertzman (OC). She has led several multinational research projects, including those that resulted in the GlobalChild platform, a comprehensive child rights monitoring platform for all children, and the Early Childhood Rights Indicators, a child rights monitoring tool for children under age eight. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child supported both projects.
This book isa product of substantial research, over five years, that created indicator sets for each one of the substantive rights of children under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. These sets, and thus this book, are an integral aspect of the Global Child platform. Dr. Vaghri is leading GlobalChild through its next stage and spearheading its first pilot in Canada, followed by a series of international pilots.
Dr. Vaghri believes that when the science of child development is combined with the accountability of states under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the cumulative power is much greater and more beneficial for children than either approach can achieve on its own.
