| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | The papers discussed in this book include a combination of research-based information and legal/ethical arguments, underlining the importance of highlighting children's rights, particularly as they relate to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCROC) (1989). The central theme running through the book conveys the importance of seeing children as people who have a voice, and viewing these children as respected human beings who have an important contribution to make in society. In chapter 1, "Trauma and Children's Rights", Nicola Atwool argues that the most appropriate way to address issues of individual variation when a child has been exposed to trauma is to pay attention the child's voice. In chapter 5, "Judicial and Legislative Conceptions of Childhood and Children's Voices in Family Law", Mark Henaghan and Pauline Tapp focus on the autonomy rights granted to children by Articles 12 and 13 of UNCROC. It is argued that the New Zealand family law system does not regard children as individuals with rights in terms of being treated with dignity and respect. Additionally, in the context of the family law system, it is argued that children are not always provided with an environment that gives them the best opportunity of developing into healthy, autonomous people who are able to participate fully in a democracy. The conceptions of childhood held by law makers, and system constraints, are claimed to be responsible for this failure. In chapter 8, "Victims of Tokenism and Hypocrisy: New Zealand's Failure to Implement the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child", Robert Ludbrook examines the response of the New Zealand Government to UNCROC. The author posits that since the ratification of UNCROC in 1993, there has been little effort in enhancing the rights and interests of children. |
