The Wellbeing of the Child (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The wellbeing of children, with a focus on their rights, protection, and participation, requires an interdisciplinary approach, including international and constitutional law, ethics, psychology, medicine, theology and canon law. Leading experts from UN institutions, academic and ecclesial settings, as well as professional practice, address topics ranging from the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, truth mechanisms and safeguards against repeated cases of systematic abuse, child participation in public decision-making, ethical concerns surrounding artificial intelligence, psychological and medical implications of COVID, as well as current safeguarding provisions, including within the Catholic Church. "The global effort to create a world that respects children's rights remains work in progress and is in fact in need of more critical thought leadership from multiple disciplines. The collections in this book make a significant contribution to address this need". Benyam Dawit Mezmur, member and former chairperson of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. Myriam Wijlens is Professor of Canon Law, University of Erfurt, former member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. Yeshica Marianne Umaña Calderón, Academic research assistant at the Chair of Canon Law, University of Erfurt.
