Zusammenfassung:
In 1989, the United Nations established the basis for the definition of "children's rights" in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), a document every nation in the world, save the United States, has ratified. Still, human rights theorists, scholars, and jurists continue to disagree as to the theoretical justification for children's human rights. In Suffer the Children, Richard P. Hiskes establishes the first substantive theoretical foundation for the human rights of children. Hiskes provides a new critical assessment of the United Nations CRC and explores child activism for human rights worldwide to show how children are already claiming their rights in ways that will fundamentally change the meaning both of rights themselves and of democratic processes.
