Abstract:
The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has evolved along with the business sector, from charitable donations, business ethics, social marketing, stakeholder relationship, through strategic bonding with business goals, and its national and international institutionalization. Although the protection of human rights is an essential part of CSR, the impact of the business sector to children?s rights is often neglected. The research about the implementation of the international Children?s Right and Business Principles conducted by UNICEF organization in Serbia, confirmed that the business sector highly values activities towards children, but hasn?t incorporated children?s rights in its business strategies. The systemic introduction and enhancement of children?s rights in responsible business of Serbian companies can be supported through the incorporation of the Children?s Rights and Business Principles in the CSR reporting and certification processes. The article provides an overview of the inclusion of the Principles in the first national methodology for an objective comparison of the business sector effects in the field of social responsibility - ?CSR Index Serbia?, based on the application of the Global Reporting Initiative. As a result, it would enable strategic monitoring of the impact of the Serbian business sector in the whole range of children?s rights.

Abstract:
Abstract Children have a right to have their views sought and given due weight on all matters affecting them, including at times of emergency and crisis. This article describes the process and findings of the ground-breaking CovidUnder19 survey (“Life Under Coronavirus”) which was co-designed with children for children, capturing the experiences of over 26,000 children in 137 countries as to the realisation of their human rights during the first six months of the covid-19 pandemic. Key findings are discussed through the lens of the crc’ s four general principles, read alongside children’s rights, inter alia, to education, play and to be protected from harm. It argues that governments and public bodies should have sought children’s views – not just because they were under an obligation to do so – but because such engagement, now and in crises to come, provides an early warning system that enables decision-makers to mitigate some of the adverse consequences of their responses for children and their rights.

Abstract:
With the ever-increasing range of medical technologies at our disposal to mediate the processes of life, from conception to death, comes an ever-increasing number of decision points about human control of fate. And as we debate altering our fate—whether dictated by a deity or by chance—the discussion frequently devolves into a question of whether we may alter not only our own fate, but also that of our children. The advent of genome editing, whether by older methods or the newer, often more easily used methods employing CRISPR, has only made debating the controversial possibility of heritable “germline” editing more urgent. The advent of genome editing, whether by older methods or the newer, often more easily used methods employing CRISPR, has only made debating the controversial possibility of heritable “germline” editing more urgent. On the eve of the Second International Summit on Human Genome Editing, held at the end of November 2018 in Hong Kong, a startling and disturbing story began circulating - a Chinese researcher announced the first births of children whose genomes had been edited at the embryonic stage. The work (assuming the claim can be verified) suffered from myriad problems, beginning with the lack of a compelling medical need, and including inadequate preclinical research, lack of peer review, flawed subject recruitment and consent procedures, and an apparent disregard for both formal and informal rules governing genetic manipulation of embryos. The summit's organizing committee issued a statement, distinguishing this experiment from what would be a responsible translational pathway forward. But not surprisingly, others around the world immediately called for a global, enforceable prohibition on such genetic engineering. On the occasion of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights (UDHR)’s seventieth anniversary, this essay argues that the current human rights law on germline editing misunderstands both the mechanisms of genetics and the moral basis for human rights, suggesting a more nuanced approach as we move forward and keep pace with new gene-editing technologies.

Abstract:
This article considers the Inter American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR)’s and Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (iachr)’s approach to interpreting and applying the American Convention on Human Rights (achr) provisions through the prism of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (crc) and ascertains the features of each convention that supports this approach. It concentrates on the IACtHR’s and iachr’s development and implementation of the principle of the best interest of the child, and on two specific areas of the IACtHR’s and iachr’s jurisprudence on children’s rights – children’s migration and trafficking of children – and concludes with some suggestions as to how this approach might be improved further in a manner that gives wider scope for the promotion of children’s rights and freedoms in the achr contracting states.

Abstract:
The principle of equality is the foundation of developing an entire system of human rights, and its implementation represents the standard of respecting each right individually. With these premises as a starting point, the subject of the author?s interests is whether the right to assisted reproduction, as a segment of reproductive rights, is regulated in conformity with the equality principal. In order to reach an answer, the author examines the concept of human assisted reproduction and analyzes the application of reproductive technologies in the light of legal, social and political reforms which affected marriages, the family and partnership in general at the end of the 20th century. The author finds that the most significant ones among them are the emancipation of women, recognition and legal formation of same sex unions and statements prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation. Furthermore, by considering the right to assisted reproduction in the context of other human rights with which it is interconnected and interdependent (the right to life, right to privacy, the right to a family life, health rights, children?s rights), the author finds there are no absolute, unlimited rights in the contemporary system of human rights, but that they inevitably have certain restrictions. Since the same limitation attribute also characterizes the right to assisted reproduction, the author further researches whether there is discrimination, positive or negative, towards the existing forms of limitations to this right. The following forms of limitations have been singled out, as the key ones for this analysis: request for (non)marital status and heterosexual orientation, sexual affiliation and age and the accessibility (prohibition) of applying certain methods of assisted reproduction which are primarily in the function of eliminating female sterility. The author concludes that there are elements of discrimination based on family status, sexual orientation, age and sexual affiliation. The author finds that emphasizing the need to protect the best interests of children, as a crucial reason for justifying their introduction, can hardly be defended both legally and ethically. The author believes that the basis of limitation lies in the reasons of social suitability, namely buying social peace at the present level of development of social conscience. By appealing to the principal of equality, the author intercedes in favor of accessibility to the right for assisted reproduction under equal conditions and limitations for each user, and prohibiting discrimination on any basis.

Abstract:
Human rights are one of the most important issues in Contemporary International Low, that there is a great sensitiveness for the implementation of them. In many countries, some institutes & committees have been considered to follow up the issue or even a ministry as the ministry of human rights has been established. The present paper was discussed the human rights violations in Iraq on Saddam Hussein`s behalf, the current ruler and so, followed the response of the question that “how had been the situation of human rights during the governorship of Saddam Hussein in Iraq?”. The research method was descriptive-analytic. The method of collection is documentary & library information and the methods of analyzing information are describing, analyzing, and also using documents. The results of this study showed that some human rights violation cases have been seen in the government of Saddam Hussein in Iraq such as the pillage of state, forced displacement of Feyli Kurds from Iraq & the killing of them, killing women and children, abduction of women and children, the involvement of people in different wars, lack of social participation of women, economic sanctions, the use of chemical weapons.

Abstract:
The paper centers on some problematic theses of my book Kant?s Political Legacy. Human Rights, Peace, Progress (UWP 2017). This reconsideration is occasioned partly by comments I received and partly by my own process of self-criticism. I focus on the point that commentators have mainly criticized, that is, the link I suggest between human dignity and our capacity for moral behavior, or autonomy. The first part recalls the basic features of my Kant-inspired and yet in many regards anti-Kantian account of the relation between dignity and autonomy and replies to some criticisms received from orthodox Kantians. The second part is strictly connected to the first because it deals with the reasons we have to believe that we are autonomous. While in the book I sketched Kant?s own reasons for the ?reality of freedom,? as he puts it, I focus now on Bojan Kovacevic?s suggestion to look at characters in novels written by artistic geniuses (in particular Leo Tolstoy) to find indirect evidence in favor of autonomy. This allows me to reflect on the kind of evidence one can legitimately expect in the proof at issue. Thirdly, I reply to a classical objection, ignored in the book, that impacts with equal force Kant?s ethics and my own position. The problem concerns people with temporary or permanent impairment of rational capacities. If I let human dignity depend on our capacity for autonomous behavior, am I committed to the counterintuitive (and rather devastating) conclusion that children or people suffering from momentary or irreversible loss of rational capacity, and a fortiori of autonomy, do not have dignity and therefore do not deserve to be protected by human rights?

Abstract:
There are a number of issues which need to be raised when examining the impact of vision impairment on children's lives. In a pilot study, the problems raised predominantly by primary caregivers of children with mild to moderate vision impairments indicate that current health care practices still tend to be defined in narrow biomedical terms in this area. This is because the psychosocial impacts of these degrees of impairment are not adequately understood by families, health and other professionals and are therefore not effectively dealt with. This often creates a situation in which families are sent from one health service delivery domain to another with no one service taking responsibility for providing the needed assistance - often with parents taking on advocacy roles which in human terms produce extreme strain (Rees & Emerson, 1984).

Abstract:
One of the most vulnerable people in every society is children who, due to their physical, emotional, psychological and social immaturity, can not protect their fundamental rights and freedoms themselves and need increased support from the international community and national authorities. In view of these objective circumstances, in the system of the United Nations has adopted a number of legal acts which lay down minimum international standards for the protection of children's righThe most important and comprehensive international treaty for the protection of children 's rights is the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This Act proclaims a number of civil, economic, social and cultural rights for children who should be protected in all legal systems, such as: the right to education, the right to social security, the right to a standard of living appropriate to the physical, mental, social development of the child and other rights.Article 24 of the UN Convention also sets out the right of every child to enjoy "the highest attainable standard of health and health services to treat illness and restore his health." The right of children to health includes in its content, separate, autonomous rights and freedoms, such as the right to access quality medical care and remedies for illness and health rehabilitation, the right to control one's own health and body and others.In fulfillment of their obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, States have an obligation to take comprehensive measures to ensure the fundamental human rights enshrined in the international treaty, including children's health, such as legislative, administrative, economic and other measures.However, the adoption of an appropriate legal framework is not sufficient to ensure effective protection of children's health. That right falls under the category of social rights, the full exercise of which requires active cooperation from the States. Today in a number of reports by international organizations is stated that many countries do not have sufficient financial resources to ensure the practical implementation of their obligations under international treaties, which creates a real risk to the children's right to health and for all their fundamental rights. In view of these disturbing data, further steps need to be taken to strengthen and guarantee all children's fundamental rights, especially their right to health, both at international and national level.

Abstract:
This paper aims to shed light on the intersex infant, a baby born with an unclear gender. The main goal of the paper is to discuss whether unnecessary gender normalizing surgeries on infants, also called intersex genital mutilation (IGM) that is not necessary to preserve the life or physical health of the infant is in the best interest of the child. Legal method will be used to frame the topic in a legal context and discourse analysis in combination with content analysis will be applied in order to understand the transformation of intersex, from being a social emergency to becoming a human rights issue. The use of the concept, the best interest of the child will serve as an analytical framework together with a theoretical framework consisting of queer theory. Together it will help to map out the human rights challenges regarding IGM as a socially constructed medical product that needs to be highlighted and prevented in order to secure the rights of the child. Hopefully, the concluding results will contribute to further awareness on the issue of unnecessary infant intersex surgery and frame it in a human rights context.

Abstract:

In South Africa the practice of virginity testing is most prevalent in KwaZulu-Natal amongst the Zulu and Xhosa. Proponents of the practice claim that some of the benefits include the prevention of the spread of HIV/Aids as well as teenage pregnancy and the detection of children who are sexually abused by adults, amongst others. In South Africa most black males undergo an initiation when they are approximately 16 years old to mark the transition from boyhood to manhood. Male circumcision is also performed as a religious practice amongst the Jews and Muslims.

A number of human rights groups in South Africa, including the Commission on Gender Equality (CGE) as well as the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) has called for a total ban on the practice of virginity testing on the basis that it discriminates against girls, as the practice is carried out predominantly amongst teenage girls. The CGE and SAHRC are particularly concerned about the potential for human rights violations of virginity testing.

The problem with traditional male circumcisions in South Africa is the number of fatalities resulting from botched circumcisions and the spreading of sexually transmitted diseases through unhygienic procedures and unqualified surgeons. Also of concern are other hardships often accompanied by traditional circumcisions such as starvation, frostbite, gangrene and infection amongst other health related injuries. Thus, according to human rights activists, when carried out in these circumstances, traditional male circumcisions have the potential to violate a number of rights aimed at protecting boys including the right to physical integrity and life, in cases of the death of an initiate.

South Africa has also ratified a number of international treaties aimed at protecting children against harmful cultural practices such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). As such it has been argued by rights groups that virginity testing as well as male circumcisions carried out in the conditions set out above have the potential to violate a number of provisions contained in international instruments aimed at protecting the dignity of children.

Abstract:
Children belong to one of the most vulnerable population groups to crime. Child victims of crime have to overcome the difficulties emerging from their victimization as well as those resulting from their participation in the adversarial criminal justice process. Child victims are typically treated by legal systems as either mere witnesses -- prosecutorial instruments -- or as objects of protection. Children's human rights and their needs beyond immediate protection are typically ignored. ¶ This thesis combines an examination of children's human rights (articulated largely in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) with a review of psycho-social literature on children's needs. It integrates the two disciplines thus creating a `needs-rights' model regarding child victims. This model is then used to evaluate the criminal justice process and its successes (and failures) in meeting the needs and rights of child victims. Such an integrated needs-rights evaluation identifies not only the difficulties associated with testifying in court and being interviewed multiple times. It goes beyond these topical issues, and uncovers other shortcomings of the current legal system such as the lack of true participation of child victims in the decision-making process, the neglect of rehabilitative and developmental interests of victimized children, and the inherent inability of the adversarial process to seek proactively the best interests of child victims. ¶ The thesis further explores an alternative to the criminal justice process -- that of restorative justice -- and examines its applicability to child victims. Unlike the criminal justice paradigm, restorative justice fosters the equal participation of the stakeholders (in particular victims, offenders and their communities), and focuses on their emotional and social rehabilitation while respecting their human rights. To explore the suitability of restorative justice for child victims, five restorative justice schemes from New Zealand, Australia and Canada and their evaluation studies are reviewed. Each of these schemes has included child victims, and most of them have dealt with either sexual assaults of children or family violence and abuse. Yet each of the evaluated schemes illuminates different concerns and proposes varying strategies for meeting the needs-rights of child victims. ¶ While these schemes demonstrate the significant potential of restorative justice to better address the full scope of the needs and rights of child victims, they uncover emerging concerns as well. Therefore, in the last part of the thesis, the needs-rights model is used once again to derive subsidiary principles for action, to maximize the benefits of restorative justice for child victims and minimize the related risks. A complex set of needs and rights is managed by a method of grouping them into needs-rights clusters and deriving from them simple heuristics for practitioners to follow. This clustering method of needs-rights-heuristics is a methodological contribution of the research to the psychology of law.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Economia e Política Social
O objectivo desta dissertação é construir um conceito de pobreza infantil na perspectiva dos direitos humanos das crianças, a partir do qual se possa contribuir para a reflexão teórica em termos de conceptualização e medição do fenómeno. Nesta dissertação, a pobreza infantil é entendida como a negação dos direitos humanos fundamentais das crianças, resultante da escassez ou ausência de recursos económicos, materiais e imateriais. A pobreza infantil é encarada como um estado de privação em termos de bem-estar definido em função desses direitos humanos. O ponto de partida desta investigação consistiu na formulação de três questões essenciais para o estudo do fenómeno: 1) Quais são as especificidades da criança e da infância que justificam o estudo da pobreza infantil de forma autónoma ao da pobreza em geral? 2) Qual o conceito de pobreza infantil? 3) Quais os indicadores mais relevantes para medir a pobreza infantil de acordo com o conceito definido? Na primeira parte desta dissertação, apresentam-se algumas das principais abordagens sobre a criança e a infância, essenciais para compreender a análise sobre a pobreza infantil. Esta opção alerta para a necessidade de desenvolver abordagens mais amplas do fenómeno, onde a escassez de rendimento é apenas um dos aspectos relevantes. Na segunda parte, constrói-se o conceito de pobreza infantil na perspectiva dos direitos humanos das crianças. A Convenção sobre os Direitos da Criança das Nações Unidas faculta o quadro legal necessário para a abordagem multidimensional do fenómeno. A avaliação da situação de pobreza infantil, enquanto estado de privação, pressupõe a observação directa do bem-estar das crianças, no sentido de identificar as que estão abaixo de um padrão de bem-estar mínimo socialmente aceite. Assim, na terceira e, última parte, apresenta-se um conjunto de indicadores específicos com vista à aferição directa das situações de privação existentes.
The purpose of this dissertation is to elaborate a concept of child poverty based on the human rights of children. The main goal is to contributo to the theoretical thinking of the conceptualisation and measurement of the phenomenon. In the following dissertation, the concept of child poverty refers to the denial of children s fundamental human rights, resulting from lack of access to economic, material and non- material resources. Child poverty is understood as a situation of deprivation from a standard well-being, which is determined according to those human rights. Three questions essential to the study of the phenomenon frame the starting point of this research: 1) which are the specificities of the child and their childhood justifying an approach to child poverty different and independent from poverty analysis? 4) What is the concept of child poverty? 3) Which are the most relevant indicators for child poverty measurement, more adequate to the concept presented? The first part of this dissertation presents the main approaches on the child and their childhood, essential to understand the relevance of a concrete analysis of child poverty. This option emphasises the need for development of wider approaches, where low income is but one dimension. The second part develops the concept of child poverty based on the human rights of children. The 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child sets the required normative framework for the multidimensional approach of the phenomenon, The identification of a situation of child poverty as a state of deprivation implies a direct observation of children s well-being. The aim is to identify those children bellow a socially accepted minimum standard of well-being. Hence, the third and last part of the dissertation focuses on the presentation of a set of specific indicators to measure existing situations of deprivation.

Abstract:
Looking at the scientific research data lacunae in the area of children’s participation in community decision-making processes in the context of festival and community forum in Ghana, this research was aimed to bridge the gap. The research was conducted in Techiman municipal of Ghana, using qualitative methods of interviews and focus groups to explore the traditional leaders’ and junior high school children’s perspectives on socio-cultural tenets and rights towards children’s participation in community decision-making. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and content analysis approach were used to analyse the data from the experience of the (11) participants; 10 children and 1 traditional chief. The results from these analyses indicated that age (gerontocracy) and religiosity with their values such as respect and obedience, influenced children’s perceptions of their participation in community Apoo festival and community forum for decision making. It also revealed that children are aware and have knowledge about their legal rights, but their knowledge are mixed up and are limited in scope. In all, community Apoo festival appeared in the results as holding a special potential to children’s liberty rights and helps to break the hierarchy of powers between elders and children as well as cultural norms affecting children. Implications for community psychologists and actors in the field of children’s rights and policy were offered on how festival can be used to influence and to teach children about participatory rights.

Abstract:
In this work I wish to address some philosophical difficulties regarding the extension of rights to children. In particular I wish to draw attention to the difference between the freedom rights which are traditionally assigned to rational, autonomous persons and the welfare rights children need if they are to become rational, autonomous persons. These reservations include reservations about the centrality of rationality and autonomy to possession of rights. My thesis is that insofar as various versions of rights apply to children they apply with specific qualifications which derive from the differences between children and adults.

Abstract:
Today the conception of human rights is an idea that preserves its intransitive, inalienable and indivisible quality with a cross-cultural reference. The idea of human rights, entering our lives from the 18th century onwards, has gained a worldwide recognition through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The idea occupies place both at the level of rules and principles as a project and at the level of our daily problem solutions, modifications and the daily course of our lives as a pragmatics. The political framework provides the idea of human rights such a justification that it constitutes a significant part of our decisions, thoughts and actions. On the other hand, the grounds of the idea has been questioned as a part of the Enlightenment project since it was first articulated and especially in recent decades certain radical criticisms originating from Nietzche&rsquo
s thought became prevalent. The thesis questions this easy alliance between Nietzsche and radical attacks to human rights thought. In the first chapter, I first provided a brief historical overview of the idea of human rights. Then, I had a closer look towards the principles of universality, equality, autonomy and is-ought distinction with special reference to Kantian formulations of these concepts and in the second chapter, I elaborate Nietzsche&rsquo
s perception of these same principles and our understanding of conventional morality in general, to reach an articulated answer to the question: Would Nietzsche be categorically against human rights? I conclude that his philosophical attitude to these four principles differ from each other. In this context the thesis regards Nietzschean informal structures over the Kantian formal ones as complementary for a full grasp of the idea of human rights by offering a connection of the transitionality between Kant and Nietzsche.

Magister Legum - LLM
Stateless children and those at risk of becoming stateless has been an ongoing issue both on a domestic level as well as internationally. In many African countries children face discriminatory and arbitrary nationality laws as a result of which they are not registered and granted citizenship in their country of birth or where they are found or undocumented. Thus, children continue to be stateless and will not be able to register their own children once they become parents. As a result, this creates an issue of transgenerational statelessness which will continue indefinitely and as such, requires attention and action both on a domestic and international level as a matter of urgency. While laws have been enacted in the aim to protect stateless children or children at risk of becoming stateless, the lack of guidelines in the implementation thereof creates a difficulty for children to acquire a nationality. States in this regard have the responsibility to create mechanisms to facilitate the implementation of laws especially when dealing with vulnerable groups such as stateless children.

Abstract:
Pandemic of virus COVID-19 posed numerous and unprecedented challenges to citizens and authorities which required shift in behavior and actions of all segments of society. Representing Ombudsmen Institution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, authors shared their experience in monitoring implementation of the decisions of all levels of government and presented challenges in striking the right balance between interests of public health and protection of rights of vulnerable groups. Public authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina have passed emergency measures aimed at containing the spread of virus, but some of them failed to maintain human rights standards. Following the decisions of crisis centers to limit the freedom of movement, it was necessary to secure rights of children to education, protection from domestic violence and neglect in the family context. In introducing online education, authorities were asked to adapt recognition and grading system to the children in different conditions and circumstances, especially to the children with difficulties in development, children living in poverty and on margins of society such as Roma children or those living in institutions. Ombudsmen Institution registered increase in the number of domestic violence cases because measures limiting freedom of movement had impact on victims' ability to seek help from trusted sources, usually members of immediate family or representatives of law enforcement agencies. Having in mind that large number of citizens could not afford access to the official gazettes in any form, Ombudsmen requested that all enacted legislation be accessible online recommended that the decision banning reporters from conferences be reconsidered, guided by the right of citizens to be informed of their government actions. Examining the practice of placing COVID stickers on mail by the Post Office, Ombudsmen issued recommendation to stop such practice as it was deemed disproportional to the right to privacy and protection of personal data, while the protection of postal workers could have been ensured by other protective measures. It also became evident that national budgetary capacities had to be increased in order to prevent deterioration in provision of basic public services such as health and social protection, since economic consequences of the pandemic were disproportionally felt by the groups exposed to poverty, such as Roma, refugees or migrants. Drawing conclusion from concrete cases, authors offer review of particular emergency measures, analyze their adequacy, justifiability and timeliness, while presenting authorities’ response to Ombudsmen’s findings in formulating more adequate and efficient but, at the same time, least intrusive measures taken in response to the disaster. In search of common response to such widespread phenomenon, governments should recognize the intention of Ombudsmen Institutions to be in „permanent session“ over protection of vulnerable groups and should more actively involve it in discussions on emergency measures and their effect on human rights and freedoms. It proved to be better suited to act quickly, to apply more effective remedies and to correct government actions thanks to its knowledge of the local context than traditional institutions for protection of human rights, such as constitutional courts, international courts or treaty bodies.

Abstract:
Changes of haemostaseological parameters are involved in pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy. However it is not yet clear whether they are cause or consequence of the endothelial damage. We investigated coagulation parameters in 84 children with type I diabetes mellitus without clinical signs of vascular disease.Compared to the control group no significant changes could be seen in fibrinogen, plasminogen, protein C, α 1 antichymotrypsin, β-thrombo-globulin and ristocetin - induced aggregation.Additionally we could observe significant differences in patients treated with human insulin to those treated with porcine insulin. Spontaneous platelet aggregation (PAT III) and factor VIII C correlated to the duration of diabetes. Also to the mean metabolic equilibrium (HBA1) correlations could be found. Spontaneous platelet aggregation seems to be a useful parameter to assess the onset of atherosclerotic diseases in diabetic children. High values of von Willebrand factor may indicate reversible and/or irreversible damage of vascular endothelium.

Abstract:
This paper provides an overview of issues related to disabled children and work. This is a very unexplored topic and the literature is scant, so the paper first provides an overview of some key relevant background information on: disability globally and in Ghana, disability and employment, disabled children and relevant human rights approaches – the UNCRC and UNCRPD. Next examples of research on disabled children and work are presented and lastly some suggested hypotheses and possible research questions are proposed.

Abstract:
The United Nations Human Rights Council has a powerful role to play in addressing the worst forms of child labour. Accountability mechanisms such as the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) – which work to support Member States to improve their human rights situation – are therefore widely seen as important opportunities to advocate for change. Ahead of Nepal’s third UPR cycle in 2021, the CLARISSA programme met with eight UN Permanent Missions to present recommendations addressing the exploitation of children within Nepal’s adult entertainment sector. This spotlight story shares the programme’s experience in advocacting within this process. It also highlights their approach of providing decision makers with recommendations to the Government of Nepal that were underpinned by the importance of integrating a participatory, adaptive and child-centred approach.
