Law education as a precondition for implementation of the rights of the child

Abstract

The provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child oblige to respect and implement the rights of the child, and to respond respectively while organizing education. In order to stop violation of the rights of the child it is necessary to organize law education and the easiest way to do this at school. One aspect of implementation of the rights of the child is related to a possibility of a child to use and to protect actively the rights himself/herself; therefore, law education becomes a means of providing a child with such possibility. This article aims to reveal the preconditions for implementation of children's rights at school. i.e. to analyse the General Programmes and Education Standards and to identify possibilities for integration of children's rights into the content of education.
