Children, Autonomy and the Courts : Beyond the Right to be Heard

This book provides a thorough analysis of how the right of children to be heard in proceedings is conceptualized in international human rights law and how it is given further meaning through judicial interpretation at both international and domestic level.

The work constitutes a significant contribution to existing literature, as it provides an analysis of the parameters to and understandings of the right of children to be heard in legal proceedings, as well as critiquing the limitations of the right itself.
