ALTERNATIVE CARE IN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 20 OF THE CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

Annotation

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) does not define the term "alternative care". The latter can be defined as providing care for a child who needs it. Such a need exists when parents are unable or unwilling to fulfill the duty of care. Article 20, paragraph 2 CRC does not exhaustively list the forms of alternative care, which further complicates the determination of the content of the expression used therein.
