NOVAK, NELI (author), Kuhelj, Alenka (mentor)

Magistrsko delo obravnava varstvo pravic otrok v državah EU in državah Sveta Evrope. Otroci spadajo med ranljivejšo skupino na področju varstva človekovih pravic. Namenjeno jim je posebno varstvo, zato jim pripadajo tudi posebne pravice, ki so poleg temeljnih dokumentov s področja varstva človekovih pravic opredeljene še v posebnih dokumentih, kot sta na primer Konvencija o otrokovih pravicah in Evropska konvencija o uresničevanju otrokovih pravic. Prvi del magistrskega dela v nadaljevanju predstavlja delovanja EU in Sveta Evrope na področju varstva človekovih pravic, posebej še na področju varstva pravic otrok. Predstavljeni so osnovni pojmi ter prikaz razvoja na področju otrokovih pravic na mednarodni ravni ter na ravni Sveta Evrope in EU. V drugem delu pa so analizirane otrokove pravice skozi sodno prakso Evropskega sodišča za človekove pravice in Sodišča EU. Izbranih je sedem področij, na katerih je prikazana sodna praksa sodišča, in sicer pravica do svobode misli, vesti in vere, pravica do izobraževanja, družinsko življenje, varstvo otrok pred nasiljem in izkoriščanjem, zaščita otrok v kazenskih postopkih, diskriminacija ter migracije in azil. Evropsko sodišče za človekove pravice in Sodišče EU skrbita, da so pravice otrok zaščitene z njunimi odločbami, s katerimi je zagotovljeno preprečevanje podobnih kršitev v prihodnje. Obravnavana tema predstavlja prispevek celovite ureditve varstva pravic otrok na območju evropskih držav. Ni namreč nepomembno, kako je poskrbljeno za najšibkejše v družbi – in otroci spadajo v to kategorijo, saj lahko prav z budnim spremljanjem dejanskega stanja in s konkretnimi izboljšavami doprinesemo k izboljšavi na področju otrokovih pravic. Predvsem pa prek institucionalnega sistema poskrbimo za nadzor in posledično oblikovanje bolj zdravih pogojev sobivanja v družbi. Pri tem je ozaveščanje javnosti in prepoznavanje dejanskega stanja prva stopnica k izboljšavi.
