Parental Guidance, State Responsibility and Evolving Capacities
Article 5 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child
This book arises out of a CRC Implementation Project colloquium on Article 5 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Article 5 protects the responsibilities, rights and duties of parents or others to provide, in a manner consistent with the evolving capacities of the child, appropriate direction and guidance in the exercise by the child of his/her rights. In this interdisciplinary collection, leading international scholars address the interplay of parental guidance, state responsibility and child autonomy within a wide range of fields, from gender identity to criminal justice. The chapters provide fascinating insights into the vital but enigmatic role of Article 5.

"This is an extremely valuable collection that exposes the broad array of issues encompassed by Article 5. (...) The value of this volume, I would argue, is in providing theoretical and exemplar analysis that is critical even for the US in the absence of the CRC. This volume delivers a rich framework to assess childrenâs rights and to reorient the scope of parental rights, as well as suggesting further work to elaborate this critical article of the CRC."
