Sažetak
The legislation of the European Union relates to children’s rights only to a limited extent and it can almost be said that the legal status of children of European citizens is only regulated on the level of principle. The activities of the European Union are somewhat more intensive in the field of soft law, but the impression is left that the legal rules protecting children are insufficiently clear. This paper cites European documents which, together with the Convention on the rights of the Child, represent the backbone of legal regulation of children’s rights in the European Union. The author believes that protection of children’s rights by means of these documents is insufficient, and that work should begin on drafting a special regulation on children’s rights which would regulate this area in much more detail. The author pays particular attention to the need and possibility that a specialized court for children’s rights be formed within the European Court, so that the protection of children’s rights would be appropriate and effective.
