A particular emphasis will be given to how children’s rights are contextualised and localised in a variety of legal and social arenas pertaining to children's rights. Ms Hina Jilani (Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and Special Representative of the Secretary General on Human Rights Defenders from 2000 until April 2008) will deliver a key note address on ‘Localizing Children’s Rights’. During the working group sessions, graduate students that participated in the Master of Advanced Studies in Children’s Rights will debate about the complexity of localizing children’s rights via the discussion of their research findings.
