Continuing the series of commentaries on the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, Schabas (human rights law, National U. of Ireland-Galway) and Sax (Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights, Vienna) consider the article prohibiting torture, the death penalty, life imprisonment, and the arrest or imprisonment of children for petty crimes or because of their mental or legal status. The comments might be useful to academics, legal professionals, and activists working engaged with children's rights. There is no index. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
