Beitrag

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) stipulates in Article 3(1): “The best interest of the child shall be a primary consideration in all actions concerning children.” However, due to ambiguous ways of interpreting the ‘Best interest of the child’, article 3 remains one of the most discussed articles of the CRC.
Since 2004 the research and expertise center for children and migration law (CCM) of the University of Groningen (Netherlands), is working on the interpretation of the best interest principle (Article 3 CRC) from a behavioral scientific perspective. The CCM research focuses on legal areas in which the needs of children are being affected and investigates how the participation of children may increase by giving them a voice. During the workshop we want to address that children’s voices are often not heard in legal and administrative procedures. However, without giving a voice to the child (article 12 CRC) the best interest principle is not met.
