Opis

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.
