The two-day session was directed towards children's rights advocates, childcare professionals, including lawyers and those directly working for children in order to help them better apply the international human rights framework relating to children and young people.

Prof. Milovidov and other children’s advocates discussed such issues as the international human rights framework and how it relates to children; the evolution of international child law, its framework and implementation mechanisms, and the definition of the "child"; and the development issues including child poverty, child labor, trafficking and education.

The session was co-convened by human rights consultant and Immigration Judge, Madeleine Colvin and LSE Research Fellow and child law expert, Dr. Jenny Kuper.

"The most inspirational part of the two-day event was being surrounded by like-minded advocates, legal advisors and professionals with only one focus: how can we improve the lives of children," said Prof. Milovidov. "I also enjoyed being able to introduce the concept of business responsibility related to children to my co-participants as this issue is an underrated topic even amongst child rights professionals."

Prof. Milovidov extended invitations to Kate Iorpenda, Senior Advisor, Children and Impact Mitigation, , Baljeet Sandu, Solicitor and Co-Director of the Refugee Children's Rights Project at and Caroline Roseveare, an International Legal Adviser and Consultant on child protection and armed conflict. These distinguished children's rights advocates were enthusiastic about visiting AGS and sharing their passion and vision in the area of child rights.

quote leftFrom current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..quote right
