Omschrijving
This book explores the possibility of a children’s rights approach to the interpretation of the Refugee Convention. It discusses to what extent the Convention is capable of dealing with claims from children given the two competing ideologies – the child as a vulnerable object in law to be protected and the child as a subject with rights.
"In this meticulously researched and lucidly presented book, Samantha Arnold investigates the implications of the enduring legal disjunction between children's rights and refugee protection norms. At a time when the number of distress child migrants in need of international protection is at an all time high, understanding how children fit into refugee law is a key legal question and an urgent practical necessity. Both legal scholars and child rights advocates stand to gain considerably from this timely study."
