Summary "This Commentary is a fully up-to-date, solid legal work on children's rights. It offers a contemporary legal perspective on the inherently interdisciplinary field of children's rights. It responds to the scarcity of legal commentaries in a landscape where several handbooks covering different disciplines have been published in recent years. It is succinct and seeks to capture the essence, yet offers a sophisticated analysis of children's rights law and branches out into other disciplines where relevant in light of the recent legal and social developments."
