Abstract
Abstract This article considers the extent to which judges in cases involving children in the island states of the Pacific, act consistently with, or are influenced by, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (uncrc). All Pacific island states have ratified the uncrc but giving effect to children’s rights faces challenges not least for judges. Drawing on the case-law of the region this article presents a quantitative and qualitative review of judicial engagement with the Convention, revealing that there are examples of good practice which could be shared, but also continuing difficulties which need to be met.
