In 1959 the ten principles which make up the Universal Rights of the Child were published. From the right to a name and a nationality and protection for handicapped children to the right of education and play, each of those principles is interpreted in a simple and colour illustrated text that can be understood by every child.

Following three decades of progress, improvements in the welfare of children and other vulnerable groups worldwide began to falter in the mid-1970s. World recession, and in particular the debt crisis in Latin America and African famine, have seriously affected economic development programs in less developed countries. At the same time, however, large-scale health programs have had a noticeable impact. This study both illustrates the extent of the current crisis and points to the successes to show how welfare policies can--and must--become part of national planning even when the economy is in crisis.

The 1998 State of the World's Children report concerns a silent emergency known as malnutrition. Rising out of the combined onslaught of poverty and preventable diseases, malnutrition takes the lives of nearly 200 million children (aged five or younger) every single day--most of them in the developing world. Malnutrition also threatens mental and physical development, and can have, as illustrated in this important new UNICEF volume, severely harmful effects on children, families, and--ultimately--the social and economic growth of nations.

Protecting the World's Children: Impact of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Diverse Legal Systems

The book contains four studies that consider the challenges of implementing the Convention on the Rights of the Child in different legal traditions or systems: common law, civil law, Islamic law, and plural legal systems. Each study is unique in the way it presents the particularities of the legal tradition under examination and reflects the author's own approach to the subject. The book demonstrates how the CRC can be implemented to achieve children's rights in different country contexts.
