International Child Law examines and discusses the international law framework and issues relating to children at both a global and regional level, and is a useful resource for advanced study and research.

The second edition of this popular and well-received title has been updated and expanded throughout, and three new chapters have been added; together with chapters on sexual exploitation and childrens involvement in armed conflict, there is also a new chapter on indigenous childrens rights.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child remains a central topic, and the mechanisms and policy underlying the Hague Conventions on respectively Intercountry Adoption and Parental International Child Abduction are dealt with in two further chapters.
