Manfred Liebel, Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany 'This book firmly repositions children's rights where they belong: in the realm of human rights. It makes a most welcome case for taking the Convention on the Rights of the Child seriously also as a human rights instrument. It thus makes a distinct contribution to a growing body of critical self-reflection within the children's rights community.'
