Overview

The book critically engages with the right to play and other Convention rights to explore their interdependence and interconnectivity. The book brings together experts across various children’s rights topics and invites them to consider the intersections of their work with the child’s right to play. It furthers the understanding and implementation of the right to play as this novel area of research develops. The book demonstrates both the interdependence of the rights within the Convention, and the unique and critical role of the right to play in achieving the aims of the Convention and the rights therein. It also extends the theoretical, methodological and critical scope of the discipline by considering children’s rights in this interdependent manner. The contributions to this edited collection explore the role of the right to play in meeting obligations pertaining to the digital environment, identity rights, education, climate change and environmental health, refugees, girls’ rights, social protection, healthcare and disability, and vice versa. By drawing together original and creative approaches to a number of pressing social questions and issues relating to human rights, this book has tangible application for developing both the content of the right to play and the potentials of this right for the wider child rights project. Furthermore, this book is pioneering in the field of children’s rights in two key ways. Not only does it serve to contribute to filling a significant gap in the literature on the right to play, but it also stands as a crucial example of interdisciplinary legal research. Such an approach is critical for the field of children’s rights due to the nature of childhood and the multidisciplinary relevance of children’s rights and children’s issues. This book thus serves as an example to push the field to be more contextual and interdisciplinary.
