If children's rights are integral aspects of commonly accepted universal human rights of the late twentieth century, then why are the United States and other countries unsuccessful in guaranteeing all children their rights? This book seeks to explain how children's rights originated, what they are, and what steps can be taken to implement them as our world moves into the twenty-first century.

"As part of ABC-CLIO's Contemporary World Issues series, this work is an outstanding addition. Thoroughness, accuracy, and consultation with acknowledged children's rights legal experts, social workers, United Nations personnel, and government document librarians have ensured that this publication is an invaluable authoritative resource in a much-needed subject area. . . . Academic, public, school, and subject-related special librarians should consider this work a mandatory purchase." - American Reference Books Annual "Recommended for school, public, and academic libraries." - Choice
