The UN Conventions on the rights of the child: an Italian book to celebrate its 30th anniversary
The Italian Independent Authority for Children and Adolescents (Autorità garante per l’infanzia e l’adolescenza) has just published a book to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Child (CRC).
The book, in Italian, is titled La Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti dell’infanzia e dell’adolescenza: conquiste e prospettive a 30 anni dall’adozione (“The 30th Anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Achievements and Perspectives”). It consists of chapters dealing with a range of issues surrounding the Convention.
Some of the chapters discuss the relevance of the Convention to the rules of private international law regarding children.
Christophe Bernasconi and Philippe Lortie, respectively Secretary General and First Secretary of the Hague Conference on Private International Law, analysed the impact of the CRC on the work of the Hague Conference in the field of child protection.
Olivia Lopes Pegna, of the University of Florence, wrote a chapter on the techniques used by private international law rules to realise the best interests of the child.
Ornella Feraci, of the University of Siena, assessed in her chapter the relevance of the CRC on the recognition in the Italian legal order of a child’s personal or family status lawfully acquired abroad.
Laura Carpaneto, of the University of Genova, examined against the background of the CRC the rules on child abduction.
Ester di Napoli discussed the synergies between migration law and private international law, in particular as regards the protection of unaccompanied minors.
The book can be downloaded here for free. The English abstracts of each chapter, kindly provided by Ester di Napoli, are available here.
