520			_aInternational concern with children's rights culminated in the adoption in 1989 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This book discusses the concept of child rights as expressed in the Convention, and the problems and prospects of realizing these radical international standards in the context of current realities in the South Asian region. Utilizing a wide range of comparative materials, this important book is a new contribution to human rights jurisprudence. It underscores the justification for universalism and the importance of recognizing fundamental socio-economic needs as basic human rights.
