Riassunto

The Comparative African Legal Studies series aims to profile research in the fields of children, youth, families, gender, disability, education and socio-economic rights. It focuses on contemporary issues in African development, with human rights as a backdrop. In this book, the author investigates the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Children's Charter in Portuguese speaking jurisdictions in Africa, which ratified these treaties more than 20 years ago. He critically analyses laws, policies, infrastructure, and oversight mechanisms established to advance children's rights, and assesses both gains made and possibilities for improvement in areas such as juvenile justice, family law, children's right to education, and child marriage. This book contains the first ever systematic comparative study focusing on implementation of children's rights law by any Lusophone researcher. Its findings will be valuable for scholars as well as policy and law makers, lawyers, social workers, and NGO-practitioners.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Although the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) has been ratified by many states, the greatest challenge, presently, is that of achieving its implementation. This is confirmed by the prevalence of negative practices limiting the enjoyment of children's rights. It is within this context that this book undertakes its examination of the CRC's implementation in Angola and Mozambique. There is a pressing need to promote the implementation of the Convention in the two jurisdictions and thereby ensure that children enjoy their human rights. Both countries ratified the CRC and committed themselves to its standards; consequently, it is necessary to investigate how they are faring in terms of giving effect to those standards. The book investigates the legislative and policy measures required to give effect the Convention.
