    EDITORS' INTRODUCTION TO RIGHTS OFA CHILD
                              SYMPOSIA

The following articles were developed following an international conference held in
March  2024 to mark the 35th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of
the Child. The Institute of Social Ethics ISE and the University of Lucerne's Center
for  Comparative  Constitutional Law  and  Religion organized  the two-day
conference.

The  conference aimed to explore the current landscape of children's rights and
explore needed reforms in the area. It did so by bringing together professionals and
scholars across a host of disciplines, including ethics, law, medicine, philosophy,
and  theology.  Attendees  discussed-among    other  topics-how    religious
institutions, social media networks, media, and the growing  parental rights
movement  affect discourse about the best interests of the child, as described in
Article 3 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The Editors of the N.Y.U. Review ofLaw and Social Change's digital publication,
The Harbinger,  selected the following articles for their timeliness and creative
approach to contemporary children's rights issues. Together, they form a featured
Rights of a Child section of this volume of The Harbinger. The articles include:
