Abstract

As far as human rights law is concerned, children constitute a minority group. They are by their nature very vulnerable and thus merit special laws to cater for their needs as the well-being of generations to come depend on how well children are raised today. The writer takes a look at the Nigerian legal system as it relates to children. It examines the UN CRC and the Nigerian CRA 2003.
