International adoption sometimes the least harmful solution
HIGH TEACHER YOUTH RIGHT IN ORATION:
AMSTERDAM - Yesterday afternoon mrs. Prof. M. de Langen at the University of Amsterdam her inaugural lecture as extraordinary professor in juvenile law on "Children on the kick chair", where she intensively focused on the theory and practice of international adoption, through a form of Called "under-development assistance".
Although a "Declaration of the Rights of the Child" was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1959, which sets out the most basic needs and rights of children, we must unfortunately note that now more than half of the children does not receive sufficient food, clothing and medical care on our earth, says Prof. De Langen.
Despite the fact that a great deal of help is provided by many national and international organizations for the benefit of the millions of children in need, it appears all too often that forms of development aid are failing due to an over-attentive attitude of the aid agencies and lack of respect for identity and the autonomy of those to whom assistance is thought to be offered.
