A Commentary on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 2 The Right of Non-Discrimination

Abramson, a human rights lawyer specializing in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, provides this commentary on Article 2 of the CRC that deals with non- discrimination. The author concludes that this provision cannot be applied correctly unless it is understood, and that legal analysis is the only way this can occur. The focus of this commentary is to outline the necessity of children's rights throughout the world, and that Article 2 must move beyond the realm of public opinion and into international law. This volume is designed as a call to action for those involved with children's rights such as grassroots workers, policymakers and judicial officers. Martinus Nijhoff is an imprint of Brill.
