Overlap: Students who studied their llb at qmul and took the undergraduate module LAW6468 (children and the law) cannot take SOLM270 or SOLM271 without prior approval from the module convenor.
This module examines the broad and continuously expanding field of international child law. It provides an in-depth analysis of the world's most widely ratified treaty, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, along with various other legal instruments and provisions relating to children at the international, regional, and national levels. The module looks at how international child law relates to wide-ranging contexts, such as armed conflict, migration, and criminal justice. Our discussions draw on a rich array of theoretical perspectives, including historical and anthropological studies of childhood, postcolonial theory, queer theory, and critical scholarship on international law.
