Taylor & Francis Ltd Child Rights And International Discrimination Law : Implementing Article 2 Of The United Nations Convention On The Rights Of The Child by Edited by Marit Skivenes , Edited by Karl Harald Sovig
Societies and states are at a crossroad in how children are treated and how their rights are respected and protected. Childrens new position and their strong rights create tensions and challenge the traditional relationships between family and the state. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted unanimously by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1989 and came into force in 1990. Article 2 places states under an obligation to accord primacy to the best interests of the child in all actions concerning children and to ensure and regulate child protection. _x000D_
