This book addresses various aspects of the rights of children under Australian and international law.
The contents include:
- The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: A Blueprint for Australia's Children;
- A Human Rights Framework for Children, Young People and their Families;
- Kids, Cops, Courts, Conferencing and Children's Right: Note on Perspectives;
- Patient Status: The Foetus and the Pregnant Woman;
- Sterilisation of Children with Intellectual Disabilities;
- Meditating Rights: Children, Parents and the State.
Focusing on what is always a controversial subject, the book is particularly relevant in the wake of the "Stolen Generation" enquiry, and recent UN reports and recommendations.
