Legislative History Of The Convention On The Rights Of The Child

For policymakers, scholars, and those engaged in its promotion and implementation, two volumes and a CD-ROM record the legislative history of the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was adopted in 1989 and came into force in 1990. Coverage includes the contents of the broad range of provisions, their context and linkages with other human rights treaties, and the ideas and considerations of the drafters. The volumes are not indexed, but the CD-ROM no doubt is searchable. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
