      abstract = {This book deals with the implementation of the rights of  the child as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of  the Child in 21 countries from Europe, Asia, Australia, and  the USA. It gives an overview of the legal status of  children regarding their most salient rights, such as the  implementation of the best interest principle, the right of  the child to know his/her origin, the right to be heard, to  give medical consent, the right of the child in the field  of employment, religious education of children, prohibition  of physical punishment, protection of the child through  deprivation of parental rights and in the case of  inter-country adoption. In the last 25 years since the  Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted, many  States Parties to the Convention have made great efforts to  pass legislation regulating the rights of the child, in  their commitment to the improvement of the legal status of  the child. However, is that enough for any child to live  better, safer, and healthier? What are the practical  effects of this international as well as many national  instruments in the everyday life of children? Have there  been any outcomes in terms of improvement of their status  around the world, and improvement of the conditions under  which they live, since the Convention entered into force?  In tackling these questions, this work presents a  comparative overview of the implementation of the  Convention, and evaluates the results achieved.},
