Los derechos de la niñez: el paradójico contraste entre validez y eficacia

Abstract

<p>El presente artículo es un ejercicio reflexivo en torno a las vicisitudes propias de la evolución jurídica y la perspectiva sociológica de los derechos de los niños, niñas y adolescentes. Se desarrolla a partir de tres aspectos: a) un breve recorrido histórico y social de la concepción de niñez; b) las referencias normativas internacionales que han permitido reconocer al niño como sujeto de derechos, y c) las complicaciones actuales para buscar la eficacia de ese ordenamiento jurídico en el entorno social.</p>

Fostering global dialogue: Conceptualisations of children's rights to participation and protection

“…Influential conceptualisations of children inform the following exploration of the understandings of child participation and child protection. Many articles framed children as vulnerable and needing protection (van Bijleveld et al, 2015) although some authors challenge children's positioning as victims (Cody, 2017;Pavez-Soto, 2012;Radford et al, 2017), and describe children are active agents of change (Acero & Ayala, 2011;Balsells et al, 2017;Cody, 2017;Cussiánovich & Figueroa, 2009;Goh & Baruch, 2018;Graham, 2007;Holt, 2018;Mc Veigh, 2017;Nour, 2013;Pavelic & Salinas, 2014;Seim & Slettebø, 2017;van Bijleveld et al, 2015), and rights bearers (Caputo, 2017;Heimer et al, 2018). Yet hesitation and resistance continue in practice.…”

“…Overall, participation is widely viewed as a right (e.g. Acero, 2011;Ajodhia-Andrews, 2016;Collins, 2017;Cussiánovich, 2013;Gallego-Henao, 2015;Graham, 2007;KII, academic, May;KII, academic, June;KII, consultant, June;Nour, 2013;Pavez-Soto, 2012;Ruiz-Casares et al, 2017;Streuli et al, 2009;Theis, 2007). According to the UN, child participation involves '…ongoing processes, which include informationsharing and dialogue between children and adults based on mutual respect, and in which children can learn how their views and those of adults are taken into account and shape the outcome of such processes' (UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, 2009, p. 5).…”
