Research in the mid-1980s on the effects of prenatal drug abuse characterized cocaine-exposed children as moody, inconsolable, less socially interactive and less able to bond than other children.

Cocaine-Exposed Infants examines what is known about the problem and unravels some of the contradictions in the literature. The book also explores, in depth, the media frenzy over 'c ... Read more

Product Description
The adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) by the General Assembly of the United Nations was a landmark event as the CRC was the first human rights treaty to cover the full range of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. However, while it is gratifying that with the exception of two, all the country members of the United Nations have ratified the CRC, this book makes very clear that much remains to be done in the way of reporting, monitoring and implementation.

This study is based upon six individual country studies - in Ghana, Yemen, Peru, Sweden, Nicaragua and the Philippines - as well as overviews of UNICEF and the Save the Children Alliance. The Impact Study contributes to an understanding of how the CRC has affected local, national and international institutions.

The main goals of the study are to:

- help fill the information gap regarding the effect of the CRC on governments and on civil society actors and institutions;

- analyze and document the successes and challenges found in reporting, monitoring and implementing the CRC;

- highlight good practices in reporting, monitoring and implementing;

- make recommendations about ways in which reporting, monitoring and implementing of the CRC could be more effectively done within countries and by international organizations.

This book is intended to assist organizations and individuals in their planning, policy and programme work to advance the CRC. It is also meant as a source of information for all those interested in child rights and to encourage individuals and organizations to redouble their efforts to achieve the goals set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. ...
