This book was released on 2012 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Registration of infants at birth is a fundamental right that is guaranteed by international human rights law, but around the world states persist in failing to document all children; the issue is particularly severe in many post-conflict countries. Birth registration is critical to protecting the rights of children for several reasons. First, it establishes identity, which is essential to safeguarding the immediate security of the child and the family. Second, a birth certificate is generally accepted as proof of nationality; it therefore leads to assurances for state-provided social services such as education and health care, as well as citizenship privileges such voting rights and social security. Third, birth registration provides documentation of age, which is crucial to defending children from exploitation including, among other things, labor, sex, under-age marriage, and military conscription. Finally, birth registration is a right that is guaranteed in several international human rights instruments. This thesis will first look at the existing literature on birth registration. It will then discuss the need and the legal right for the birth registration of children. Finally, it will examine three post-conflict countries at different stages of working to implement birth registration: Southern Sudan, Sierra Leone, and Guatemala. For each country, this thesis will provide a brief history, examine threats to children and look at the ways that the state and non-governmental actors are working to implement birth registration and how it is making a difference.

Download or read book Children Born of War written by Sabine Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents research from an international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral research project in which 15 doctoral researchers explored a range of issues related to the life-course experiences of children born of war in 20th-century conflicts. Children Born of War (CBOW), children fathered by foreign soldiers and born to local mothers during and after armed conflicts, have long been neglected in the research of the social consequences of war. Based on research projects completed under the auspices of the Horizon2020-funded international and interdisciplinary research and training network CHIBOW (www.chibow.org), this book examines the psychological and social impact of war on these children. It focusses on three separate but interrelated themes: firstly, it explores methodological and ethical issues related to research with war-affected populations in general and children born of war in particular. Secondly, it presents innovative historical research focussing specifically on geopolitical areas that have hitherto been unexplored; and thirdly, it addresses, from a psychological and psychiatric perspective, the challenges faced by children born of war in post-conflict communities, including stigmatisation, discrimination, within the significant context of identity formation when faced with contested memories of volatile post-war experiences. The book offers an insight into the social consequences of war for those children associated with the ‘enemy’ by virtue of their direct biological link.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birth Registration: An Aid in Protecting the Lives and Rights of Children Definition and value. - Birth registration means the record in pub lic archives of the births of children. In the civilized countries of Europe it has long been complete. It is, of course, the first item in vital statistics. In the United States birth registration has made progress less rapidly than the other items of a complete system of vital statistics, notably, death registration and the registration of marriages While the importance of such statistics has been recog nized in certain parts of America from colonial days, the country as a whole is still devoid of uniform and complete records of the births Of its citizens. This neglect is undoubtedly to be ascribed to the lack of a popular conviction that such records are dignified and valuable. Everybody agrees that it is dignified and valuable to make public record of marriages and deaths. Only a moment's thought is necessary to show that the public record of births is of kindred importance, and for the same reason, to protect individual and property rights. Moreover, as a working expedient it is coming to be regarded as indispensable in the eradication of three great evils which affect the children of the country. There are no more important undertakings at the present day than the reduction Of infant mortality, the preser vation of the child's right to education, and the abolishing of child labor. In serving all three of these ends birth registration is an indis pensable practical aid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child written by Ton Liefaard and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014 the world’s most widely ratified human rights treaty, one specifically for children, reached the milestone of its twenty-fifth anniversary. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in the time since then it has entered a new century, reshaping laws, policies, institutions and practices across the globe, along with fundamental conceptions of who children are, their rights and entitlements, and society’s duties and obligations to them. Yet despite its rapid entry into force worldwide, there are concerns that the Convention remains a high-level paper treaty without the traction on the ground needed to address ever-continuing violations of children’s rights. This book, based on papers from the conference ‘25 Years CRC’ held by the Department of Child Law at Leiden University, draws together a rich collection of research and insight by academics, practitioners, NGOs and other specialists to reflect on the lessons of the past 25 years, take stock of how international rights find their way into children’s lives at the local level, and explore the frontiers of children’s rights for the 25 years ahead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AbstractChildren, armed conflicts and migrations, taken as a whole is a critical human rights concern which deserves its worth in legal research in contemporary era. The existing inter-national human rights on this subject remain questionable regarding the purposes and functionalities for which they have been designed. For three decades now, children lay at the core of the concerns of several human rights instruments. Their protection fuels many debates in international and domestic fora. The adoption of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child (ICRC:1989) has markedly influenced the international legal framework on children. Significant progresses on children's rights have been achieved. Relevant UN Resolutions are being passed en-forcing the Convention. At regional level, regional child rights conventions are passed in an effort of contextualization. Remarkable endeavors for domesticating the Convention are being mobilized at national level. However, the rights of children in conflict setting are still of many concerns. They are the most affected and thus, special attention should be given to them.The research questions the relevance of the current international human rights frame-work pertaining to the protection of children forcibly displaced in conflict setting regarding the law per se as an instrument as well as its enforcement mechanisms and related bodies of implementation. A case study is carried out applied to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Federal Republic of Nigeria as illustration. There is not a single piece of international legislation on human rights that deals exclusively with children forcibly displaced in conflict setting. All the existing international human rights conventions apply for all human beings, including children whatever the context.From a social legal and doctrinal perspectives, the finding is that the current international legal framework on human rights is relevant, but under-enforced. It suffers from some gaps and inconsistencies which limits its effectiveness in their functions. Its enforcement mechanisms are weak and obsolete to address the needs on human rights in a changing world. There is an urgent need to undertake legal reforms on the legal corpus itself, on institutions for implementation and on programs designed to implement human rights.The book provides a thorough assessment of current international human rights legal framework regarding the protection of children forcibly displaced during armed conflicts from a social legal perspective. Although the existing legal framework had substantially paved the way human rights are currently engaging at global, regional and domestic levels harvesting substantial progresses, there are areas that needs specific focus on shaping the research agenda in human rights in a world in constant dynamics. Its enforcement mechanisms and the heaviness of their implementation bodies. Meanwhile the positioning of human rights at the core of the sustainable development agenda imposes to undertake some reforms in a general perspective as well as taking into account the most vulnerable categories in various contexts.The author, with a human right-based approach to development poses tough questions in order to evaluate the effectiveness, the efficiency, the impacts and sustainability of the current legal framework on human rights and proposes the courses of action in shaping the research agenda regarding children forcibly displaced in armed conflicts settings. The case studies in consideration that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Federal Republic of Nigeria provide some areas of interests that can help furthering the re-search in a various legal system.The book is recommended for researchers, academicians, politicians and reformers and journalists and professionals in legal arena.

Download or read book Monitoring State Compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child written by Ziba Vaghri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents a discussion on human rights-based attributes for each article pertinent to the substantive rights of children, as defined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It provides the reader with a unique and clear overview of the scope and core content of the articles, together with an analysis of the latest jurisprudence of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. For each article of the UNCRC, the authors explore the nature and scope of corresponding State obligations, and identify the main features that need to be taken into consideration when assessing a State’s progressive implementation of the UNCRC. This analysis considers which aspects of a given right are most important to track, in order to monitor States' implementation of any given right, and whether there is any resultant change in the lives of children. This approach transforms the narrative of legal international standards concerning a given right into a set of characteristics that ensure no aspect of said right is overlooked. The book develops a clear and comprehensive understanding of the UNCRC that can be used as an introduction to the rights and principles it contains, and to identify directions for future policy and strategy development in compliance with the UNCRC. As such, it offers an invaluable reference guide for researchers and students in the field of childhood and children’s rights studies, as well as a wide range of professionals and organisations concerned with the subject.

Download or read book Birth Registration written by Jonathan Todres and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birth registration, the official recording of a child's birth by a government agency, is one of the most important events in a child's life. Birth registration establishes the existence of the child under law and provides the foundation for ensuring many of the child's rights. Although birth registration alone does not guarantee that a child will have access to adequate health care, receive an education, or be free from abuse or exploitation, its absence leaves a child at greater risk of a range of human rights violations. Despite the importance of birth registration, according to UNICEF, approximately 50 million newborn babies are not registered each year, accounting for over 40 percent of the children born annually. This short article examines the right to birth registration and the implications of birth registration for the child's civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights.

Download or read book The Net and the Butterfly written by Olivia Fox Cabane and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Charisma Myth, Olivia Fox Cabane offered a groundbreaking approach to becoming more charismatic. Now she teams up with Judah Pollack to reveal how anyone can train their brain to have more eureka insights. The creative mode in your brain is like a butterfly. It's beautiful and erratic, hard to catch and highly valued as a result. If you want to capture it, you need a net. Enter the executive mode, the task-oriented network in your brain that help you tie your shoes, run a meeting, or pitch a client. To succeed, you need both modes to work together--your inner butterfly to be active and free, but your inner net to be ready to spring at the right time and create that "aha!" moment. But is there any way to trigger these insights, beyond dumb luck? Thanks to recent neuroscience discoveries, we can now explain these breakthrough moments--and also induce them through a series of specific practices. It turns out there's a hidden pattern to all these seemingly random breakthrough ideas. From Achimedes' iconic moment in the bathtub to designer Adam Cheyer's idea for Siri, accidental breakthroughs throughout history share a common origin story. In this book, you will learn to master the skills that will transform your brain into a consistent generator of insights. Drawing on their extensive coaching and training practice with top Silicon Valley firms, Cabane and Pollack provide a step-by-step process for accessing the part of the brain that produces breakthroughs and systematically removing internal blocks. Their tactics range from simple to zany, such as: · Imagine an alternate universe where gravity doesn’t exist, and the social and legal rules that govern it. · Map Disney’s Pocahontas story onto James Cameron’s Avatar. · Rid yourself of imposter syndrome through mental exercises. · Literally change your perspective by climbing a tree. · Stimulate your butterfly mode by watching a foreign film without subtitles. By trying the exercises in this book, readers will emerge with a powerful new capacity for breakthrough thinking.

Download or read book School Level Leadership in Post conflict Societies written by Simon R. P. Clarke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do different contexts influence the nature and character of school leadership? This book is predicated on the simple, yet profound, observation that school leadership can only be understood within the context in which it is exercised. The observation is particularly valid in relation to post-conflict societies especially when they have eventuated from new-wars. Schools in these contexts face highly complex circumstances and a level of environmental turbulence requiring different kinds of leadership from those operating in less complicated and relatively stable situations. By assembling an impressive array of international experts, this book investigates a much neglected area of research. Each chapter highlights the importance of context for understanding the realities of school leadership, and reveals the challenges and influences that school leaders face as well as the strategies they adopt to deal with the complexities of their work. In particular, valuable insights are provided into how intractable problems faced by schools can affect student, professional and organizational learning agendas. There are also important glimpses of the progression that can be made in schools by: -Enhancing the curriculum -Energizing teaching capacity; and -Optimising leadership capacity. Depictions of post-new war environments include Angola, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Rwanda, Kenya, Solomon Islands, Lebanon, Kosovo, Timor-Leste and Northern Ireland. The book will be key reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying educational leadership, comparative education and education policy.
