Thoughts from the Human Rights Perspective.
Marzouki, Moncef
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v21 n2 p117-23 Feb 1997
This lecture examines problems of global child abuse from a human rights perspective, balancing the "good news" of the international concern for children's welfare against the scale of the crisis it reflects. The author recommends that child advocates embrace a "pessioptimistic" attitude, acknowledging these extremes by disallowing both naivete and despair and setting difficult objectives against a realistic perspective.
