ACRiSL Workshop: ‘How to Advance Child Rights Strategic Litigation: Addressing the Implementation Gap. Challenges in Spain and the situation of migrant children’


The main aim of the workshop was to bring practitioners and academics together to reflect on an extremely relevant issue related to child rights strategic litigation: implementation and follow-up strategies of decisions adopted by judicial and quasi-judicial bodies on children rights. It focused particularly on the experience of litigation before the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child on cases involving migrant children rights in Spain. Although some decisions by the UN Committee represent significant progress as far as the rights of migrant children are concerned, we must recognize that there is much room for improvement due to the implementation gap. The workshop explored the existing legal and non-legal avenues to seek implementation of these decisions with a view to identify best practices and illuminate future strategies.
