The year of 2024 is the 35th anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (hereinafter referred to as UNCRC) as well as the 100th anniversary of the Geneva Declaration which was the very first document on an international level concerning the rights of the child.
A Children’s Rights Days III (hereinafter referred to as CRD III), the third annual international conference on children’s rights aims to celebrate both anniversary’s by presenting five books that were designed to be the curriculum of the first semester of the LLM programme on International and Comparative Children’s Rights (hereinafter referred to as ICCR LLM), the very first LLM programme in Central Europe that provides interdisciplinary and complex knowledge on both international children’s rights and on the rights of the child being realised in different branches of law from a comparative law perspective. These five books are: International Children’s Rights, Children’s Rights in Regional Human Rights Systems, Social and Personality Development in Childhood, The Rights of the Child in Private Law – Central European Comparative Perspective, The Rights of the Child in Public Law – Central European Comparative Perspective.
Apart from the in-depth introduction of the LLM programme and the course materials, the topic of the CRD III is children’s mental health. Similarly, to the programme of previous years, the spotlight will be on a Central European country, Slovakia, through which it will be presented how the problem of children’s mental health can be acknowledged and improved on a long term. Next to the presentation of best practises of Slovakia the topic of digital technologies and their possible impact on children’s mental health will be on the agenda as well.
