Children's Rights: GermanyGermany is a party to the global conventions that protect the rights of the child, yet Germany prefers to interpret these according to the precepts of European agreements, in particular the European Human Rights Convention, and also in accordance with German Constitutional guarantees. Germany has generous systems of health care and social welfare that benefit all citizens and long-term residents, while being less generous for new immigrants. The education system differentiates between vocational and college-bound tracks, and that is sometimes criticized in international comparisons. Problems occur in particular with the children of immigrants. Stringent laws against child labor are fully enforced, as are criminal provisions against the sexual exploitation of children and human trafficking. The juvenile justice system was path-breaking in the 1920s, but more recently it has borrowed ideas from the United States, particularly on diversion.
The Children's Rights: Germany report from the Law Library of Congress contains information on: the implementation of International Rights of the Child, child health and social welfare, education, child labor and exploitation, sale and trafficking of children, juvenile justice, miscellaneous issues, and concluding remarks.
