La protección del menor (edX)

La protección del menor (edX)

Aproximación a la protección jurídica del menor, tomando como eje central la Convención Internacional de los Derechos del Niño de 1989. Afortunadamente, cada vez hay más personas sensibles a las especiales privaciones y sufrimientos que afectan a los menores de edad. La explotación sexual de las niñas, la utilización de los niños como soldados, el trabajo infantil, el tráfico internacional de menores… y todo esto sin contar con el hambre, la guerra y las epidemias.

Tras dos tímidos precedentes, la comunidad internacional se hizo eco de estas exigencias en la Convención Internacional de Derechos del Niño de 1989 y en la Convención de las Naciones Unidas con mayor número de ratificaciones, aunque con muy limitada eficacia en la realidad.

Nuestro propósito es acercar a todos los profesionales que tratan con la infancia, a los familiares, o a cualquiera que tenga interés y sensibilidad a la respuesta que el Ordenamiento Jurídico puede prestar a esas exigencias específicas. Tomaremos como eje común, sobre el que se articulan los distintos temas, la Convención Internacional de los Derechos del Niño de 1989.
Los cuatro ámbitos sobre los que trabajaremos serán:

  • La sustracción internacional de menores.
  • Menores en desamparo y tutela administrativa.
  • La protección sociolaboral.
  • Situaciones de separación de los progenitores.

¿Cómo abordar los diferentes problemas específicos de la infancia? ¿Qué respuestas puede ofrecer el sistema jurídico? En este curso nos proponemos una aproximación crítica a la realidad y a la regulación jurídica española, europea e internacional de la protección del menor.

  • Conocer y discutir los antecedentes y el contenido de la Convención Internacional.
  • Estudiar el principio del interés superior del menor y sus interpretaciones.

  • Estudiar cómo se protege al menor frente a las sustracciones internacionales.
  • Analizar los límites a la posible contratación laboral del menor.
  • Discutir la situación del menor ante la separación de sus progenitores.

Children’s Right to Education in Armed Conflict (GCHumanRights)

Wars, armed conflicts, and displacement are not only attacks to spaces, places and people, but also violations of a fundamental human right recognised in numerous international, regional and national instruments. Education is a right in itself and a multiplier of other rights. Legal frameworks, measures and tools already exist that provide a variety of solutions. Alas, proper knowledge of such instruments and possible avenues for action is still limited. The MOOC on Children’s Right to Education in Armed Conflict, offered by the Global Campus in partnership with Right to Education, fills this knowledge gap and mobilises more people and resources in the defence of such a fundamental right when and where it is most needed.

Children’s Mental Health: Rights and Perspectives (GCHumanRights)

According to recent reports by UNICEF and WHO, the decline in children’s mental health has become a significant global issue. A longstanding source of concern, it has emerged more strongly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Children have been further exposed to threats - including anxiety and depression attacks, heightened exposure to domestic and sexual violence and more subtle abuses such as unhealthy competition - which are taking an enormous toll on them and may ultimately lead to social exclusion and inability to realize their full potential. Our MOOC on this theme facilitates such understanding and knowledge by providing not only information and materials to understand children and young people’s mental health as a human right, but also guidance and examples on what can be done at the practical level.
