Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 25 page paper discussing the twists that the simple term of “children’s rights” can take. A decade ago, the United Nations issued a proclamation stating that all children of the world have the right to expect a life in which they have decent clothing and shelter, and have enough food to sustain life. The proclamation also made rather vague statements regarding their rights to safety and basic human rights as well. It may not have produced results for the children, but did serve to set off heated debates around the world as to any further or hidden meaning that the statements may have been designed to convey. The paper discusses implications of children’s rights in terms of general, legal, civil, “life” and medical issues, including discussions of research that has been done in each. Bibliography lists 24 sources.

the Childrens Defense Fund, seemed to work both for and against children, advocating the rights of those children already here but directing the greater percentages of their funds toward issues
surrounding preservation of abortion as a right of the mother. Several fundamentalist groups proclaimed that the UN statement was one that heralded government
action of removing children from parents for no good reason, or intimated that children would be forced into daycare situations where they could be indoctrinated in "proper" social thought.
Researchers set out to determine the level of understanding that children truly have regarding their own basic rights, and more general observers sought to understand the meaning of it all.
The result has been that there is a wealth of rather disjointed work in several areas: general rights; legal rights; civil rights;
"life" rights addressing necessities of sustaining life, and medical rights; including the right of access or to refuse recommended medical treatment. General
