1. 35 years of child rights and the emerging right to a healthy environmentCocou Marius Mensah, Zorica Brajovič Mensah, 2025, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: As of November 20, 2024, 35 years have passed since the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989, a unique and binding instrument that enshrined, for the first time in international law, a comprehensive set of rights for children across the globe. While the UNCRC has driven significant progress since its adoption in 1989, emerging challenges, particularly digitalisation and the climate crisis, reveal critical gaps in its implementation. This article evaluates three decades of achievements in child rights protection, identifies persistent shortcomings, and examines the urgent need to address environmental degradation as a violation of children’s rights. Through an analysis of international legal provisions and landmark cases, the authors argue for stronger enforcement mechanisms to uphold children’s right to a healthy environment.

2. Children's Rights in the Sustainable and Digital Environments : Exploring Opportunities and Challenges: Exploring Opportunities and Challenges2025, zbornik Opis: The scientific monograph ‘Children's Rights in the Sustainable and Digital Environments: Exploring Opportunities and Challenges’ addresses current and carefully selected topics in the field of children's rights. It specifically focuses on issues where the authors critically analyze and discuss the protection of children's rights in the context of sustainable development and digital transformation, as well as the challenges posed by both environments. The contributors engage in critical discourse and offer in-depth analyses of children's rights from both substantive and procedural legal perspectives, examining developments at the national level as well as within the international legal framework. They clearly identify inconsistencies, shortcomings, and difficulties that children's rights face in the context of sustainability and digitalization. In their contributions, the authors emphasize the importance of safeguarding children's rights in judicial proceedings and highlight the role and responsibilities of both national and international actors in this field. They further discuss selected aspects of children's vulnerability and violations of their rights, especially in relation to children affected by armed conflict, those living in crisis regions, and children with disabilities, web.

3. Legal dilemmas about mandatory childhood vaccination in EuropeSebastian Czechowicz, Rafał Kubiak, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Compulsory childhood and adolescent vaccination are a controversial issue in the public arena. They also pose a challenge on the ground of legal sciences. This article is devoted to a dogmatic-legal analysis of the type of legally protected goods that are restricted in connection with mandatory vaccination (among others: the right to respect for private and family life, personal freedom, the right to self- determination) and those values that vaccination is in principle supposed to protect (public health, life, and health of children). The article analyses in detail the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights, which seems to be a breakthrough. On the one hand, it ends the dispute pending before the Court and, on the other, it opens the field for further discussion on the essence of mandatory vaccinations. The research has been carried out by using the dogmatic-legal method, the method of analysis and criticism of literature, the method of analysis of case law and the statistical method. In the presented research results, reports and statistical data of international bodies concerning the level of vaccination among children and adolescents in Europe were used.

4. Climate change and air pollution : the twin threats to children’s health and well-beingElijah Sriroshan Sritharan, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Environmental factors, such as air pollution and climate change, significantly contribute to the global burden of disease and are critical to understanding health disparities between countries, with low- and middle-income nations facing the highest environmental health burdens across various diseases and injuries. While health is universally acknowledged as both a fundamental human need and a basic human right, yet the harmful effects of unhealthy environments disproportionately impact children. Research indicates that pre- and post-natal exposures to environmental toxicants can disrupt brain and lung development, impairing their function. These health impacts are distributed unequally, with marginalised populations experiencing greater harm. The IPCC identifies fossil fuel combustion as the primary driver of climate change. Epidemiological studies further highlight the existing and future consequences of climate change, including its effects on infectious diseases, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, and mental well-being.

5. Legal protection of children in armed conflictsCocou Marius Mensah, 2024, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: This chapter highlights the mechanisms and means used by international law to protect children in armed conflict situations. Children frequently find themselves as participants in both national and international conflicts and face the dual challenges of victimisation or coercion into taking up arms for the sake of war efforts. International law responds to these challenges by offering legal instruments, notably conventions and protocols, explicitly designed to address the unique vulnerabilities of children living in conflict zones. The author analyses the comprehensive international legal framework engaged in the battle against the infringement of children's rights during times of war and the profound consequences arising from such violations. By highlighting the important role of child protection within the international legal arsenal, this chapter substantially contributes to the ongoing discourse surrounding the fortification of mechanisms designed to safeguard children’s rights in the complexities of armed conflict.
