from Part I - Children’s Rights, Businesses and Duties
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 January 2020
This chapter sets out the importance of a children’s rights focused inquiry into the human rights obligation of business enterprises by drawing insights from various disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, sociology and medical sciences. It sets out childhood as a stage of rapid development, the disproportionate and different effects of harms during childhood and children’s rights as a remedy to children’s invisibility, lack of public voice and consultation. The characteristics of a children’s rights focus for businesses as human rights duty-bearers are sketched out and linked to the so-called general principles of children’s rights.
