Abstract

Food for thought is a new feature in our newsletter in which we’ll raise important philosophical, moral or legal questions about specific issues that we may think carry a high risk of child right violations. I want us to think about them together. If we feel strongly that there is something wrong about them, is that just a feeling, is that feeling personal, or are there good common grounds to feel alarmed by them? And if we have good grounds for being alarmed, do we think that DCI as a movement, or DCI in a particular country or region, should express itself clearly about it, reminding the rules of law as applicable to that situation, as we distill them from the Convention? And of course try to remedy the evil based on research and analysis of the situation in the light of the Convention.
