In what of the Colloquium on follows, the key points of emerging from the major themes discussed are Children and Governance. Holding State Accountable. summarised. The issues related to law, governance and children (Rule of July 20-22, 2009 Law, Social Norms and Policy Coherence/Child Sensitive Judiciary and the Role of Judicial Activism in Child Rights) have been clubbed together. It also draws upon other relevant discussions on the issues on governance and children, though they may not necessarily have been raised in the Colloquium. They are nonetheless important in the context of the ongoing discussions on children and governance and hence can help build our understanding on this very important subject. An overriding concern of the Colloquium, cutting across all the themes, was how to make the state accountable and prevent the governments from abdicating its prime responsibility not only for upholding the rule of law but also as prime duty bearers to ensure the rights of children in favour of non-state actors. The other major issue related to measuring or developing indicators of good governance in a rights based framework as distinct from welfare oriented one. 1 HAQ: Centre for Child Rights and Save the Children., 2010 : Budget for Children Analysis. A Beginners’ Guide, New Delhi, India. 5 6 1. Laying the Ground: Good Governance “Governance is a multifaceted concept that focuses on the interactions between the government in its various forms and the people. Exact definitions vary across organisations. To the UNDP, “governance can be seen as the exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage a country’s affairs at all levels. It comprises the mechanisms, processes and institutions, through which citizens and groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights, meet their obligations and mediate their differences.” The World Bank defines governance as “the traditions and institutions by which authority in a country is exercised for the common good. This includes (i) the process by which those in authority are selected, monitored and replaced, (ii) the capacity of the government to effectively manage its resources and implement sound policies and (iii) the respect of citizens and the state for the institutions that govern economic and social interactions with them.”1 1.1 Global Movement towards Good Governance The concept of governance is not new and countries across the world have their own forms of governance as well as reforms in governance. However, of late, the term has come to receive greater global attention, with a recognition of the need to establish what is commonly referred to as ‘good governance’. This shift, especially in the development sector, was a consequence of international financial institutions and donors to establish a basis for investments or donations for a cause. Discourses on good governance led to the evolution of indicators to measure the states’ performance – a move that has often been wrongly criticised for being based on standards common to western democracies as measures of goodness in government. This has been accompanied by global attempts to analyse diverse perspectives and situations and establish universally accepted standards and indicators and also those specific to different socio-cultural, economic and political contexts. Discussions on ‘good governance’ led to indicators for measuring state performance in this regard. As one of the criticisms against these indicators has been that they are based on the standards that are common to western democracies as measures of ‘goodness’ in government, globally attempts are being made to look at the different perspectives and establish both universally accepted standards and indicators as well as those specific to the different socio-cultural, economic and political contexts. Both ‘governance’ and ‘good governance’ are also now being viewed and analysed in the context of different groups of people, especially the more vulnerable. Children and their concerns however, have failed to find adequate space in these discussions although governance and the realisation of the rights of the child are intrinsically connected. Essential characteristics of good governance as recognised through international discourse so far include: 1. Participatory, 2. Consensus oriented, 3. Accountable, 4. Transparent, 5. Responsive, 6. Effective and efficient, 7. Equitable and inclusive, and 8. Follows the rule of law. 1 Save the Children, OECD and Unicef, 2011: Child Rights and Governance Round Table: Report and Conclusions, Unicef Innocenti Research Centre,Florence, Italy 7 1.2 Children’s rights and good governance Good governance, though a necessary condition, alone is not sufficient. What is needed is a rights approach, as distinct from a welfare one or a total paradigm shift in the approach to the child. It has to be remembered that when societies or governments deal with children, it is not doing them a favour. A child is a bona fide citizen with full human rights as much as an adult citizen – an oft forgotten fact that leads to relegating any action concerning children to the realm of charity and goodwill.2 Children’s rights to protection from violence, abuse and exploitation are clearly laid out in international law, the legal

    Risky Sex, Addictions, and Communicable Diseases in India: Implications for Health, Development, and Security Rajan Gupta Theoretical Division Los Alamos National laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545 [email protected] LAUR 02-5305 This monograph was published as Special Report 8 in the Health and Security Series by the Chemical and Biological Arms Control Institute (CBACI), Washington D.C., September 2004. ABSTRACT: This monograph provides a comprehensive and unifying view of a number of health issues confronting India and how, over time, they could impact the stability and security of the nation. New pandemics like HIV/AIDS have confounded attempts at containment because their spread highlights vulnerabilities in social and political norms and behaviors that have historically been ignored. Their spread also exposes a highly inadequate medical and educational infrastructure. To stop the spread of communicable diseases for which risky individual lifestyles and behaviors, societal norms and beliefs, poverty and lack of empowerment, and stigma and discrimination are major factors it is necessary to examine the system as a whole and to develop new paradigms and tools. Sexually transmitted infections and addictions to alcohol and drugs have emerged as a major interconnected global threat. This monograph makes the case that India is highly vulnerable to this threat and major policy changes, an unprecedented cooperation between public and private sector, and an order of magnitude more investment in health and education is needed to prevent a runaway

Prologue In the semi-darkness of dawn the muezzin called out, ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar . .’ His passionate, full-throated appeal to the Almighty broke the stillness of the new day and slowly Maler Kotla began to stir. As if on cue, the sun gasped through the horizon, flushing the rapidly brightening sky with redness. Yet another day crept into the lives of its residents. Except for one. Standing tall and in full glory, the white marble haveli surrounded by lush green lawns had lost its main occupant in the wee hours. For the villagers, especially the women, it was not a mere structure of stone but a symbol of peace, a shrine which they could visit any time and be heard.

  • Street Children in the Developing World: a Review of Their Condition
    Street Children in the Developing World: A Review of Their Condition Lewis Aptekar San Jose State University The article reviews the literature on street children and points out why there are street children in certain cultures and not in others. The reasons for their existence are related to poverty, abuse, and modernizing factors. Street children are defined and distinguished from working and refugee children. Details about the family structure of street children are given. How the children cope and their level of psychological functioning are discussed. The article gives reasons for why the children are treated with such violence and gives attention to methodological research problems that include the children's ability to distort information, the researcher's proclivity to under- or overestimate the children's emotional condition, distortions of facts created by the press and international organizations, and general cross-cultural research issues. For the last decade, I have been studying children. I view them as both needy and bold, and I have seen them in streets that have increasingly become both theatre and war zone. Observing the children and how people have reacted to them not only has forced me to think about growing up without the security of parental love but has made me contemplate the potential rewards of life without parental restraint. My ambivalent thoughts and feelings are to some extent similar to the way the children are treated by the public. Some people see the children as being worthy of the valor given to heroic survivors, while others afford them the pity due the neglected and abused.

WHO ARE STREET CHILDREN? 3. AT THE MARGINS: DAILY LIFE, ISSUES AND CAUSES 4. STREET CHILDREN ACROSS THE REGION East and Central Asia South Asia Mekong and Southeast Asia The Pacific 5. FRAMEWORKS AND PRINCIPLES FOR PRACTICE 6. METHODS OF IMPLEMENTATION 7. GOVERNMENT AND NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS 8. PRACTICE AND EXAMPLES APPENDICES Terms of Reference Bibliography 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Asia and Pacific Region is home to nearly half the world’s children, including large numbers of street children. This paper provides an introductory snapshot of issues concerning “street children” in this vast and culturally diverse region. Although the term “street children” is neither a precise, nor very useful classification for children “on” or “of” the street, the term does serve as a point of engagement in considering the variety of issues and problems facing far too many vulnerable children in urban centers throughout the Asia and Pacific region. The circumstances and experiences of “street children” overlap with several other categories of children, such as trafficked children, migrant children, and working children. There also is overlap with a range of problems and difficulties confronting too many children, including endemic poverty, domestic and/or sexual abuse and other violence, hazardous working conditions, exploitative labor, substance abuse, conflict with the law and juvenile justice, as well as the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Some street children are highly visible, and the subject of public concern because they are “out of place”.

    WWW.LIVELAW.IN 16 July 2020 To, Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh Chairperson & Vice-Chancellor Committee for Reforms in Criminal Laws Centre for Criminology and Victimology National Law University, Delhi Re: Concerns of Organisations and Individuals working on Child Rights regarding the Committee for Reforms in Criminal Laws Dear Prof (Dr.) Singh, As lawyers, activists, social workers, counsellors, academicians, psychologists, policy consultants and other professionals working on child rights across the country, we write this letter to you to put forth our strong objection to the constitution of the Committee for Reforms in Criminal Laws and the processes employed by it, including the rushed timeline proposed. We take issue on the following points:- 1. Lack of Diversity The constitution of the Committee lacks representation from various groups and sections of the society that are to be directly impacted by reforms in criminal laws of the country. There is a stark absence of women members, members from the LGBTQ community, members belonging to religious minorities, members belonging to the SC/ST groups, and persons with disabilities, to name a few. In your Public Notice dated 08.07.2020, you have made it clear that the structure of the Committee is the mandate of the MHA and is beyond your powers to intervene. However, we find that to be an easy way out on your part and we would like to see efforts on your part to engage with the MHA that constituted you, to make the structure of the Committee more inclusive. 2. Unconscionable Timing and Exclusionary Processes This process seems to have no justification in being rolled out in the manner in which it has in the midst of a global pandemic.
