chapter two Childrens Rights and medical treatment issues of capacity choice and consent
2006Co-Authors: Claire BreenAbstract:This chapter uses the issue of the child's right to medical treatment to demonstrate the manner in which one of the aims of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which recognises the fact that "the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth", is achieved, or not, as the case may be. It focuses on the general degree of success with which the New Zealand legislature and judiciary have succeeded in prioritising the Rights of the child over those of his or her parents. With regard to children and medical treatment, the first question to be asked is whether the child is sufficiently autonomous or has the requisite capacity to provide consent to the treatment, which lays open to review the extent to which a child may exercise his or her Rights.Keywords: children's Rights; medical treatment; mental immaturity; New Zealand legislature; physical immaturity

chapter one difference or discrimination exploring the concepts underpinning Childrens Rights discrimination and the need to acknowledge difference
2006Co-Authors: Claire BreenAbstract:This chapter (re)considers the complex nature of children's Rights, which stems from the limits on a child's capacity to exercise his or her Rights. Limitations on the manner and extent to which an individual may put his or her Rights into effect is well recognised nationally and internationally. Although human Rights law primarily identifies with the autonomous individual, the practicalities of human Rights protection, on the whole, requires a balancing of Rights between individual Rights-holders, be they adults or children. The chapter explores some of the theories surrounding the implementation of children's Rights in an attempt to determine whether the bases for the differentiation in the limits imposed upon children's Rights satisfy the basic human Rights principles of equality and non-discrimination and are therefore legitimate. Finally, it explains some of the theories underpinning discrimination law and its role in distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate differentiation or discrimination.Keywords: children's Rights; discrimination law; human Rights law; illegitimate differentiation; legitimate differentiation; non-discrimination

politics of childhood Childrens Rights and intergenerational relations
European Journal of Social Work, 1999Co-Authors: Heinz SunkerAbstract:Abstract One of the more decisive questions in the discussion of human living conditions, which then also produces the most diverse answers, concerns the relation between violence and civilization. In this context the treatment of childhood and of Childrens Rights is a crucial issue of this century. We live in a period of socialism, the womens movement, intercourse, individualism. Are we not entering the period of youth? (Benjamin 1991, p. 9), asked Walter Benjamin 80 years ago, shortly after Ellen Key had program-matically declared The Century of the Child (Key 1978). Aries, in his history of childhood and family life in the Ancien Regime, investigated the generalization of social control and subsequent new forms of intervention into social relations (Aries 1978, pp. 556–8).
