The Non-Implementation of UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Internal and External Challenges of the Convention
Abstract
UN Convention on the Rights of the Child revolutionized the jurisprudence and concepts of human rights and declared children as rights holder for the first time. However, there are manifold challenges which are hurdling the implementation of Convention. The challenges are of three different types i.e., the challenges within states parties, challenges in Convention self and some external challenges that are causing problems in the implementation of Convention, thereby resulting into non-realization of the rights of the children. This paper discusses the last two categories of the challenges, that lie within Convention itself and external ones. Although Pakistan is major focus, but United Kingdom and France have been taken as examples and comparative purpose being torch bearers of Common Law and Civil Law respectively.
