EU Conference - Will the state take over the role of parent?.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most rapidly and widely ratified international human rights treaty in history.
Did the UNCRC alter the relationship between the state and the family by putting forward the principle that the child`s rights had paramountcy?
Did this allow state agents to determine what was in the best interests of the child?
In general, has this really served the best interests of children?
Some say that Convention rights are a double edged sword: they both give, and then they take away.
ReplyDeleteAlways there is the right of Government to determine when these rights are taken away.
Google common law. Google` inalienable rights` - those rights beyond Government.
