| Abstract: |
The inauguration, a century ago, of the League of Nations and the International Union to Save the Children galvanized in different ways the global progression of the idea of children’s rights. That idea was and remains a concoction of visions encompassing among others, saving children in distress, recognizing children as human beings of equal worth, and growing adults who will create a better future for the world in peace and prosperity. The 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child translated these visions into the language of international law. It conferred on UN agencies and organizations the task of supporting State Party implementation within their own territories and via international cooperation. It created space for international non-governmental organizations to engage in advocacy for effective implementation. Today there are many examples across the world of integration of children’s rights in decision-making processes at all levels of governance. Actualization of children’s rights remains often frustrated as other claims, rooted in other globalized ideas and influences, or simply in demands for urgent responses to events, take priority. But the idea of children’s rights has remained resilient. It is a product of globalization of discourse, a subject of globalization of governance and an object of globalized civic movements. |
