The Children's Rights Convention in Denmark : a status report on implementation
Jørgensen, Per Schultz; Leth, Ingrid; Montgomery, Edith: The Children’s Rights Convention in Denmark : a status report on implementation. - Early Education and Development, vol. 25, no. 2, 2011: p. 839-862.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child was ratified by Denmark in 1991 but never incorporated into Danish legislation. The role of the Convention in Denmark is weak and relatively invisible and does not ensure an adherence in local municipalities to either the national legislation or the demands of the Convention. A critical examination reveals that for vulnerable groups of children this lack of legitimacy of the Convention has serious consequences.
