The Child's Interests in Conflict addresses one of the most pressing issues of any multicultural society, namely the conflicting demands on children from minority groups or children born to parents of different cultural or religious backgrounds. What the family considers to be in the child's best interests and welfare in the studied situations is not shared by society at large. Each guided by faith, culture and tradition, society views the child to be exposed to a significant harm or risk of harm if certain traditions are followed, whereas in contrast the parents believe that their child is harmed or in harm's way if that tradition is not respected.Focusing primarily on Europe, the contributions in this book, written by internationally leading experts and with a interdisciplinary element, address situations of conflict regarding the child's upbringing and education in general, the shaping of the child's cultural or faith-based identity, underage marriages, circumcision of boys, the role of faith and culture in society's placements of children outside the care of their family, and the role of faith in cross-border child abduction and disputes over parental responsibilities. Attention is paid to the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and to less well-known national case law, as well as to recent national legislation, all of which show not only the complexity of the issues discussed but also the differing ways multicultural challenges are dealt with.The authors strive to answer, inter alia, how legal systems should navigate between the competing claims and conflicting interests without forgetting the main person to be protected, namely the child; and how the scope of tolerance, recognition and autonomy should be defined.

Despite global undertakings to safeguard the full enjoyment of human rights, culture, traditional practices and religion are widely used to discriminate against women. In this volume 17 scholars approach women's human rights globally, regionally and nationally, combining the perspectives of public and private international law in a hitherto unique manner. Comprehensive legal, culture-based and theoretical overviews are combined with analyses of topical issues, such as unbalanced sex-ratios, intercountry adoption, women as refugees or as "surrogate mothers," violence against women and cross-border enforcement of protection orders. Si les droits de l'Homme font l'objet d'un grand nombre d'instruments conventionnels universels et régionaux, leur effectivité et leur efficacité ne sont pas encore acquises comme l'illustre ce volume consacré à la question de la discrimination. A travers des chapitres qui mèlent des approches de droit privé et de droit public, des considérations juridiques, politiques, religieuses, économiques et sociales et qui offrent une analyse globale de certaines thématiques liées à la discrimination fondée sur le genre, l'ambition de cet ouvrage est de souligner les visages divers qu'elle revèt ainsi que les solutions juridiques plus ou moins efficaces qui ont été mises en place par les Etats, les organisations internationales et la société civile pour y remédier
