Implementing the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child A Standard of Living Adequate for Development

The human right to survive and develop, a fundamental premise of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, can be attained only if adequate living conditions are secured for the child. In this book, an international, interdisciplinary group of distinguished authors discuss issues affecting families, communities, and governments as they seek to secure "the right of every child to a standard of living adequate for the child's physical, mental, spiritual, moral, and social development."
