“Rights of the Child in International Law”: Report of the Conference

The child – a human being before eighteen years old, as provided by the Convention of the Rights of the Child, defines it by the only one aspect – an age. This does not seem to be a satisfactory solution and leaves some questions on at least two points: the scope of legal protection of the child in different branches of international law and institutions that should provide assistance over set regulations. Higher mentioned questions gave an incentive to organize a conference about children rights in international law and in particular to analyze those rights as protected human rights, as a part of the rights of international humanitarian law of armed conflicts, as an important part of international labour law and especially rules provided by International Labour Organization, the same as World Trade Organization, European Union Family Law, Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and international criminal law. Conference was organized by the Chair of the Protection of Human Rights
