Appraisal of the Protection of Children Bill 2009
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Pakistani law lacks detailed legislation on the issues related to children. Provisions related to such issues are scattered in different statutes. A consolidated Child Act is needed to deal with the issues related to children. The Protection of Children Bill 2009 is an effort to do so. This Bill was produced in the parliament in 2009 and is still pending approval. The Bill is an effort to incorporate provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989 in Pakistani law. Through this Bill Pakistan has tried to reform its child law. A critical evaluation of this Bill will help in understanding its positive and negative points. The article analyzes the provisions of the Bill and highlights the areas which still need reforms.
