Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 10,4, Stellenbosch Universitiy, course: International Law and Children's Rights , 27 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Refugee children suffer from war or other forms of persecution in their countries of origin, many even continue to suffer human rights violations in the countries in which they seek asylum.
