Thoko Kaime s
The Convention on the Rights of the Child: A Cultural
Legitimacy
Crìtique
looks at the protection and promotion of children s
rights through
a socio-legal
examination of the provisions of the world s
pre-eminent children s rights treaty, the Convention on the Rights of the
Child. The book focuses on this singular question: Does the Convention
provide a culturally appropriate framework for the protection and
promotion of children s rights across different cultures? In examining
this question, the book argues that the effective protection of the rights
of the child will not be achieved unless the substantive protections are
perceived as culturally legitimate by local communities and unless the
implementation procedures are aimed at enhancing such legitimacy as
opposed to merely ensuring adherence to form. The book benefits from
a methodology that fuses international law methods with grounded
anthropological narratives, it demonstrates that far from being abstract
paper prescriptions, children s rights frameworks are but a species of
social and cultural interaction and that effective promotion and protection
strategies must be alive to this dynamic. The book is a useful introduction
to cultural critiques of children s rights, in particular; and, indeed human
rights generally.
Thoko Kaime is Lecturer in Law in the School of Law at the University of
Surrey and Senior Teaching Fellow at the School of Oriental and African
Studies, University of London. He also serves as Deputy Director of
the Environmental and Regulatory Research Group at the University of
Surrey. He maintains broad interests in the area of public international
law and the social critique of law and legal policy. He has written
extensively and delivered lectures on children s rights and their legal and
social contexts, focusing on the intersection between law and legitimacy.
