Childhood is believed to be a stage that requires protection, both in national and international policymaking realms. This essay looks at a few such intersections where lives of certain ‘categories’ of children have been gravely affected by laws meant for their protection and rehabilitation. Through detailed exploration of the making of the anti-child labour law and the category of railway children, this essay argues that repeatedly rehashed state plans of action to address child labour or children in railways situation are dysfunctional because they have abysmally failed to address it with the depth, diversity, and comprehensiveness required. This essay, touching upon case studies of child labour rescue raids conducted by the state in collaboration with NGOs and ethnographic accounts of children who have been rescued, and children who have defined their life and work in their own ways, attempts to explore how ‘childhood’ and ‘child agency’ have become a contested site between children, the existing state and NGO/legal activist/child rights groups discourses on child protection.

We report on the development of an instrument to measure attitudes to children’s human rights and diversity in schools. It was developed to investigate perceptions of human rights and diversity among students and then teachers in two contrasting areas of Norway. The instrument draws on human rights standards articulated in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is intended for use in future baseline studies, allowing for transnational and comparative analysis of child rights in education. The near-universal ratification of the United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child provides an agreed international framework for evaluating rights implementation strategies over time. We contextualise the measurement instrument, focusing on rights provision, child protection, and participation in schools. We consider its strengths and possible limitations and discuss the need for a sound human rights conceptual model through which child rights in school settings can be interpreted.

The article looks at the history of childhood in the society, the country of Germany, and abroad. Today’s view of children as legal persons, recognizing their endowment with competencies and resources but also their ontological dependence, is a rather ‘new’ perspective in human history. Therefore the article first focuses onto the UN-Child-Right’s-Convention which was ratified in Germany in 1992. Second, a closer look at the development of the legal foundations of child protection in Germany shows how child protection in Germany was developed. The reader will get an overview about the child protection system in Germany, afterwards. The article ends with some recommendations to establish a child-rights-focused perspective in the child protection system in Germany.

In 2005 the Government of Argentina passed the National Law for the Integrated Protection of the Rights of Children and Adolescents. The legislation laid the groundwork for a new long awaited regulatory framework for the promotion and protection of children’s rights in Argentina. In this article we assess this regulatory framework and the extent to which it has enhanced the protection of children, particularly in Buenos Aires Province. In reviewing the administrative structure of the regulatory framework, and evidence of public expenditures on child protection and welfare, the working conditions of child protection staff, and the volume and nature of interventions directed towards children in the province, we argue that the formulation of child rights legislation has done little to alter longstanding popular perceptions and professional practices related to impoverished children.

Victims Of Violence

Child rights are an integral part of human rights so that the government must develop the obligation to protect, fulfill and respect the rights of children especially the rights of children who are victims of violence, because violence against children especially in Indonesia is increasing recently. Therefore, the form of legal protection against the rights of children who are victims of violence can be given in a repressive form that is done in a systematic way, through a series of programs, stimulation, training, education, prayer guidance, games and can also be provided through legal aid called advocacy and child protection laws. While the concept of legal protection of child rights in the future must do law reform of child protection system in Indonesia with the aim to give justice, certainty and benefit to children in Indonesia in particular so as to protect and guarantee the rights of children who become victims violence. In order for child protection law in Indonesia in the future to be able to really give protection to child rights which become victims of violence, then child protection law must be free from humanity principle based on human rights.
