The starting point of the 2010 edition of the International Interdisciplinary Course On Children's Rights (ICCR) was the recognition that the expansion and deepening of globalization results in the challenges of poverty, environmental degradation, child soldiering, child labour and migration assuming a new dimension.

It also raised awareness of children‘s issues and established a juvenile court system. Another push for children‘s rights occurred in the 1960s and 1970s, when children were viewed by some advocates as victims of discrimination or as an oppressed group. In the international context, ―the growth of children‘s rights in international and transnational law has been identified as a striking change in the post-war legal landscape. 1 Children are a ―supremely important nation and international asset of the future well-being of the world depends on how the ch...
