The Convention is the canonical statement of children’s rights, but it is also an enforceable legal instrument being applied around the world to protect children’s rights.

CRIN launched the CRC in Court case law database in 2009 to highlight important court decisions that quote and discuss the Convention. Since then, the database has grown to include more than 350 cases from over 100 countries. https://www.crin.org/en/home/law/research/crc-court-case-law-database …

This new research draws out the ways the CRC has been used around the world to challenge abuses of
#ChildRights, but also where it has been misunderstood and misapplied by national courts. https://www.crin.org/en/node/43452/#CRCinCourtShow this thread -
Our report addresses the use of the Convention in general, and features more detailed analysis of three of the most cited rights under the Convention and the ways they have been applied and interpreted. https://www.crin.org/en/node/43452/

By publicising the creative use of international
#ChildRights law across different legal systems & traditions, we hope to support children’s rights advocates to challenge the violations of children’s rights that persist across the world. https://www.crin.org/en/node/43452/#CRCinCourtShow this thread -
CRIN believes children’s rights must be recognised, respected & enforced. This means ensuring that for every violation there is a remedy - using the CRC as the legal tool it was always supposed to be is a step towards making this a reality. https://www.crin.org/en/node/43452/
