Non-violent Education as a Children's Right - A Human Rights-based Response to Child Sexual Abuse in Educational Institutions

Beschreibung

As stipulated in the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, protecting children from violence requires an approach looking beyond physical force in order to address all forms of violence or abuse, including sexual abuse. Through its reporting mechanism the 1989 CRC generates an unknown level of transparency and accountability in international relations. Accordingly, the role of the Holy See as a State party to the Convention has been traced over decades of early enthusiasm for implementing children's rights faithfully to aggressively rebuking the CRC Committee's authority eventually. Ass. iur. Franz M. Wittmann PhD (UCC) HDipCL (NUI) is an academic researcher looking back on a professional career as a litigator and writer in Germany, Ireland and Switzerland. Acquiring some canon law expertise proved to be helpful when analysing situations of private or public education.
