The Domestic Politics of International Human Rights Law: Implementing the Convention on the Rights of the Child in Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina

More informationLess information

Insufficient attention has been paid to the political processes that take place between ratification of international human rights treaties and domestic implementation.
