Reviews

'A quarter of a century after the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child, this universally endorsed treaty languishes in public policy and professional practice. By giving access to this historic manifesto, the Handbook of Children's Rights shines light on the last frontier of the human rights movement.' - Felton Earls, Professor Emeritus, Harvard Medical School, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health 'Achieving the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires systematic investment in children across two decades of life. This rich volume invites us to put children and adolescents at the center, rather than our academic disciplines, and demonstrates the richness of a cross-sectoral approach to fulfilling child and adolescent rights.' - Judith Diers, Ph.D., Chief, Adolescent Development and Participation, UNICEF 'Human rights are under threat as rarely before in the modern era. This illuminating and wide-ranging volume providing new perspectives on the role, interpretation, and application of children's rights could not be more opportune. As a powerful and passionate case for upholding the commitments made to the world's children, it should be compulsory reading for every head of state.' - Gerison Lansdown, Founder Director of the Children's Rights Alliance for England, Chair of Child to Child
