<i>‘This </i>Advanced Introduction to Children's Rights<i> is thoroughly based on international human rights law, but it also offers a comprehensive view of the distinct approach of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. As such, it carefully delineates the equal, differentiated and special rights enumerated in the Convention. It will be an invaluable resource for general and specialised readers.’</i>

<i>‘This comprehensive and compelling overview of the nature and scope of States’ legal obligations towards children could not be more timely. Children continue to bear the brunt of some of the most devastating, sustained infringements of their rights as States grapple with the economic and political fallout of war, the climate crisis, mass displacement and a global pandemic. This book offers a crucial guide to the history and evolution of children’s rights law, and helps us navigate fundamental questions such as: how children and childhood are and should be defined; who bears ultimate responsibility for delivering on their rights; and the extent to which children’s rights should be prioritised over the rights of adults.’</i>
