“…Relevant general human rights instruments, including the UNGPs, do not provide adequate guidance in relation to children's rights for business actors, as our research participants outline [44,49,51]. Yet, children's rights have been well elaborated across time, especially over the past century [52]. A comprehensive elaboration is provided in international human rights law with the CRC, which outlines the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of children.…”

There has been increasing attention given to the relationship between children’s rights and business due to a greater understanding of the direct and indirect impacts that businesses have on children and youth. Concomitantly, many businesses are involved in charitable work. Do charitable activities performed by businesses provide an entry point for considering children’s rights? Further, do these charitable activities facilitate an opportunity for the amalgamation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business and human rights? It is hypothesised that charitable contributions can facilitate a greater understanding of children’s rights and subsequently advance implementation. Accordingly, businesses can recognise their capacity to do more than mitigate their negative impacts, and positively influence the realisation of children’s rights. This can be facilitated through the improved assessment of charitable contributions using a child-rights-based approach. This research paper is informed by qualitative individual interviews with 15 stakeholders from pertinent professional sectors, five focus groups with 38 children and youth, and academic and grey literature reviews. It is concluded that attention to impact assessment offers a valuable avenue forward by which to knit the threads of activity regarding both human rights and corporate social responsibility through accountability. A proposed checklist may stimulate future actions and developments in children’s rights within and outside of businesses.

“…Pare holds that there is no right to adequate housing within the Convention without substantiating her statement (Pare, 2003). The second category discusses the right to shelter, or the right to adequate housing in relation to children's rights, without specifying whether or not the crc contains such a right (Schimmel, 2006;Tobin, 2011;Darling, 2013;Kloosterboer, 2017;Freeman 2020;Gal, 2020). For example, Freeman (2020) argues that the crc does not guarantee the right to adequate housing but later raises the question of whether or not this right exists within the treaty.…”

The papers that fall under these categories are of little use to our research as they do not provide an in-depth analysis of housing rights under the crc.…”

The Child-specific Right to Adequate Housing in the Convention on the Rights of the Child

Millions of children live on the street or in inadequate housing. The failure of authorities to address these problems violates the right to adequate housing, as laid down in, inter alia, Art. 11(1) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (icescr). Yet, deplorable living conditions make children even more vulnerable than adults, given the negative impact on their development. This calls for a child-specific right to adequate housing tailored to the needs of children. Although one might expect to find such a child-specific right in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (crc), little is known about the crc and housing. This paper is the first to unravel to what extent the crc stipulates a child-specific right to adequate housing and, if so, whether it offers children other entitlements than the general right to adequate housing laid down in Art. 11(1) icescr.
