It is evident that Mower has chosen his topic well. His book is a valuable comentary on the CRC-it presents, in simple language, the content of this important legal instrument addressing an issue that has elicited widespread concern across the globe...The isues dealt with in this book are presented in a lucid and balanced manner, looking at different perceptions and points of view. In sum, the book leaves the reader with a clear understanding of what the CRC is about as well as its functioning, weaknessess and strengths. It will be of great help to anyone with and interest in understanding the support that international law provides to the world's children. The promotion of adult literacy in children's rights is often quoted as a sine qua non for the realization of the goals of the CRC, and this book has a lot to offer towards achieving this goal. -International Studies ?It is evident that Mower has chosen his topic well.
