3.2 Salient Features of Child Rights
Child rights are discussed and debated intensely across the globe over a period of
time. A child is regarded as belong into or even being the property of the family in many
societies. A child is also defined as an infant, a minor or an adolescent by some persons.
The child is understood to have certain rights and duties in modern society. Usually, all
persons who do not have full legal capacity until a certain age are regarded as children.
The age of full legal capacity varies from state to state. Many national legal systems
recognize the limited legal capacity of children relating to various activities. The states
have adopted special codes or laws on the legal status of the child. Practically, the states
have many common futures reflecting the contents of the United Nations Convention on
the Rights of the Child (1989:370).
Childhood is the most sensitive stage of life of every human being. It is in this period
of life that every individual is brought up, educated and adjusted to realities of life. The
identity of individual is formed during the childhood. The children comprise about 50%of the world’s population and they depend on adults for everything. The children
normally encounter various difficult circumstances. The child has the right to be protected
by law from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent
treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse. Such protection also
covers the relationship of a child with his or her parents, legal guardians or any other
person who has the care of the child.
Article 2 of the Child rights Protection Law defines: “A child is a person who has
not reached the age of 18 years, except these to whom, in accordance with the law, reach
earlier maturity by being declared emancipated minors, or who become married before
reaching the age of 18 years”. Franklin (1986:146) states: “Child rights’ as a concept encompasses both
protection and liberation aspects”. A clear distinction may be made between child rights
to have their welfare safeguarded by adults and other stakeholders of child rights
protection.
