Klappentext zu „Perspectives on the Legal Guardianship of Children in Côte d'Ivoire, South Africa, and Uganda “
This brief reference surveys the national policy of three representative African countries on the legal guardianship of children who are without parents or families. Focusing on the widely varying legal systems of Côte d'Ivoire, South Africa, and Uganda, the authors highlight guardianship as emblematic of the continent's shortcomings in child protection laws. The book's key objective is bridging the communal aspects of traditional African society with the global standards set forth by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international entities. To this end, the three frameworks discussed here are compared and their strengths and limitations evaluated as applied to child protection standards in terms of core guardianship issues:Holders of parental authority and responsibilities
Appointment of a legal guardian
Who qualifies as a legal guardian?
Responsibilities of a legal guardian in relation to the child
Termination of guardianships
