The constitutional rights of children
View through CrossRef
The significant difference between
modernity and past eras is that modernity emphasises choice and
autonomy and the past relied upon fate. The author enquires both
into the effectiveness of constitutions in seeking to protect the
autonomous rights of children and whether a global culture of
children's constitutional rights is beginning to develop.
Children's civil and political constitutional rights are analysed
as well as their economic, social and cultural constitutional
rights, as it is the poorest children, who many unthinkingly
dismiss as being beyond the scope of justiciability and the
courts. Article published in Amicus Curiae - Journal of the
Society for Advanced Legal Studies. The Journal is produced by
the Society for Advanced Legal Studies at the Institute of
Advanced Legal Studies, University of London.
