- Title
DEMONSTRATING POSITIVE OBLIGATIONS: CHILDREN'S RIGHTS AND PEACEFUL PROTEST IN INTERNATIONAL LAW.
- Authors
DALY, AOIFE
- Abstract
Recently there has been a significant increase in the involvement of children and young people in protests across the globe. As a result of this increase, children have directly influenced political change but have also faced threats to their safety. This raises distinct children's rights issues, and the trends identified necessitate both conceptualizing protest involve-ment from a children's rights perspective, and critically examining the manner in which the law--at both a national and international level-- has approached the involvement of children in such activities. This Article examines the positive obligations of States and argues that chil-dren should be recognized as a distinct, valid, and sometimes vulnerable group that has the right to protest and the right to be facilitated in doing so.
