Children's rights go global: How constitutions worldwide are changing for the better.
The article explores how children's rights have been included in constitutions worldwide over the past century. It looks at historical documents like the Magna Carta and modern international agreements that have influenced this trend. The rise of global recognition of children's rights in the 20th century, along with political changes like decolonization and the fall of the Soviet Union, created a perfect opportunity for countries to include children's rights in their constitutions. This has led to a widespread acknowledgment of children as rights holders in many countries since 1989.
