“…Similarly to P10, T1 portrays children as political novices and becomings rather than as political beings in the present (Bjerke, 2011;Liebel & Saadi, 2012), building on a view that children need to develop political awareness and knowledge before participating. While T1's statement focuses on children's political development, it focuses on the outcome while overlooking the value of children's active participation during the process of development, a distinction made clear by Peleg (2019). Like the other teachers, T1 portrays Barnas Valg as good for fostering engagement and interest in politics, but they do not emphasise that this engagement should be utilised actively during childhood.…”

In this article, we explore how fifth graders (9-10-yearolds) and their teachers view children's participation in a parliamentary election for children arranged by Save the Children Norway in 2017. The participants draw on available discursive resources when making sense of children's political positions in society. In the discursive resources, longstanding tensions surrounding children, childhood and politics come to the surface. We conclude that although children's position in politics remains marginal, there are ways to move beyond the tensions to be able to imagine children as political actors.

“…145 Peleg's argues that this dominant 'holistic' conception of development resonates primarily with a understanding of development that is rooted in developmental psychology and neglects or even ignores the fundamental rights aspects. 146 The foregoing, again, highlights a consensus on the need for multidisciplinary perspectives but that the issue of how to reconcile knowledge from the social sciences with a legal understanding of child development is -even for the Committee on the Rights of the Child -a challenging matter. How this reluctance can be best understood is of a speculative nature, but two factors likely play a role.…”

A Children’s Rights Perspective to Ruiz Zambrano and Chavez-Vilchez: An Examination in Light of Theory, Practice and Child Development Research

This contribution demonstrates that the CJEU cases Ruiz Zambrano and Chavez-Vilchez are particularly significant from a children’s rights perspective. The article connects these two judgments and their implementation in the national Dutch context, with three commonplace themes from children’s rights literature; (1) the child as an equal bearer of rights, (2) the child as a distinct bearer of rights, and (3) the important role of developmental research. This perspective shows that the approach adopted by the CJEU with regard to the EU citizen child is paradigm shifting, as it breaks with dominant approaches in fundamental rights law and immigration law which historically place parental rights front and centre. The contribution demonstrates that the importance of this shift cannot be underestimated, because it provides the contested notions of children’s rights and the Convention on the Right of the Child (CRC) with both legitimacy and meaning.

“…the physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social dimension) (UN Committee on the Rights of the Child 2003). Furthermore, the UNCRC Committee has often referred to development in its jurisprudence as the process of becoming an adult, during which the child develops 'normally' or in a 'healthy' manner (Peleg 2012).…”

“…Furthermore, PELEG stresses that during the drafting process of the Convention the discussions also focused on the desired result of the development process, namely the fulfilment of the child's human potential (Peleg 2012). First, the UNCRC strives for an optimal approach, for instance with Article 29 UNCRC, which defines the aims of education, requiring that education enables the child to develop to their fullest potential.…”

“…This perspective also recognises children as individuals and allows taking into account their inner capacities and their opinions on what they consider to be in their best interest (UN Committee on the Rights of the Child 2003). As there is no one right way to develop, the right to optimal development recognises that every child has different experiences and will therefore develop in different ways, as long as it enables the child to fulfil his or her potential (Peleg 2012).…”

The Role of Children’s Rights in Regulating Digital Advertising

An important domain in which children’s rights are reconfigured by internet use, is digital advertising. New advertising formats such as advergames, personalised and integrated advertising have permeated the online environments in which children play, communicate and search for information. The often immersive, interactive and increasingly personalised nature of these advertising formats makes it difficult for children to recognise and make informed and well-balanced commercial decisions. This raises particular issues from a children’s rights perspective, including, inter alia, their rights to development (Article 6, uncrc), privacy (Article 16, uncrc), protection against economic exploitation (Article 32, uncrc), freedom of thought (Article 17, uncrc) and education (Article 28, uncrc). The paper addresses this reconfiguration by translating the general principles and the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into the specific context of digital advertising. Moreover, it considers the different dimensions of the rights (i.e. protection, participation and provision) and how the commercialisation affects children and how their rights are exercised.
