Product Description
Children's human rights are regularly violated around the world. We hear about graphic examples including child soldiers, child prostitutes, and children sold into slavery, but hungry, sick, and orphaned children are equally at risk and more prevalent. In the United States, children suffer similar abuses, but some are unique to the U.S. justice system. Unlike most of the rest of the world, the U.S. is a well-developed western nation in which juvenile offenders can be tried as adults and sentenced to death. This book brings together a wide array of original essays from a variety of academic and practitioner perspectives on human rights and the status of children. The details are disturbing; the message, powerful: We must vigorously extend the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the most vulnerable humans of all--the children of the world, starting at home in the United States. ...

From the supplier: Technological advances in communications have given rise to an information industry that is virtually independent of national governments. Many citizens hail this as the advent of a truly independent flow and exchange of information which is free from governmental bias. However, such information continues to be managed by transnational corporations in the information industry. The bias of such corporations and their influence on the information industry needs to be addressed before the industry can claim to have achieved true independence.
