The Convention on the Rights of the Child: A Point of Departure.
Edmonds, Beverly C.
Social Education, v56 n4 p205-07 Apr-May 1992
Suggests that the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child challenges teachers to address rights representing a consensus on minimum standards. Compares the U.S. view of food, shelter, health care, and rehabilitation as legislative entitlements, rather than as the rights they are seen as in other nations. Discusses cultural diversity, conflicts, and enforcement. (DK)
