Abstract

This study aims at highlighting the "rights of the child" provided under Islamic Sharia through presenting a proposed conception to re-draft the Agreement of Child Rights in light of Islamic educational perspective, by understanding the reality of the Arab world's application of the Agreement of Child Rights and by understanding the reality of the international application of the Agreement of Child Rights. The study also aimed to learn about the European Union's experience with child rights, as well as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's experience with the Saudi Child Rights Document pursuant to National Regulations. It also aimed to determine the extent to which the Convention is appropriate to the educational dimension, as well as the suitability of the proposed agreement to the social dimension, and the study yielded numerous findings, including the fact that most Arab countries have reservations to the Agreement of Child Rights in violation of Islamic Sharia, or State constitutions and regulations, and some countries around the world have reservations about what is not compatible to its constitutions and laws. Re-drafting some articles of the Agreement of Child Rights in light of the Islamic educational perspective is one of the most notable outcomes.
