This thoroughly updated second edition presents a comprehensive legal perspective on the inherently interdisciplinary field of children’s rights. Chapters provide an article-by-article analysis of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, including its Optional Protocols, as well as contextualised advice on the interpretation and implementation of its provisions.

The Commentary critically engages with the Convention, exploring its position within the wider context of human rights law and other multidisciplinary fields such as the sociology of childhood. This second edition includes a revised introduction focusing on contemporary challenges and opportunities for children’s rights, new material on children in conflict with the law and the individual complaints procedure, and updated discussions of recent case-law on regional human rights systems.

Drawing on global perspectives, this new edition is an invaluable resource for students and researchers in family law, human rights, public international law and the sociology of law. It will also be of great interest to practitioners and policymakers in children’s services, education, social work, psychology and healthcare.
