Full Description

This book shows how U.S. courts have failed to protect the human rights of America's children.  The Supreme Court has constructed a constitutional identity rooted in American exceptionalism and libertarianism. It has used this identity to disregard human rights law, claiming it is foreign to uniquely American constitutional values and that the very nature of the Constitution is restrictive. Children in the United States suffer as a result. Compared to other democracies, the United States has the highest or nearly the highest rates of under-five mortality, child poverty, juvenile incarceration, and child deaths by homicide. Through interviews with advocates, case studies, and a comparative analysis of other democracies, the book shows how the Court has marginalized the rights of children and it contrasts this to the human rights-centered approach taken by other national and regional courts. Chapter by chapter it demonstrates how U.S. courts consistently fail to protect children's rights to life and safety, their rights in the criminal justice system, and their rights to an education, health, and housing.  Human rights are completely consistent with the U.S. Constitution, and the book sets out a plan to incorporate human rights into U.S. law.
