Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study we analyzed the legal structure of Convention on the Rights of the Child and elucidated the differences between Japanese and German legal systems for child abuse, with a view to institutionalizing “Representatives of Children” that advocate the rights and the best interests of children in medical neglects. Based on the results of this study, we can conclude that the institutionalization of“Representatives of Children”in Japan should follow the example of guardian ad litem in German law and embody legal guardians provided by the Convention.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、単に医療ネグレクトに関する医事法的研究にとどまらず、「子どもの権利」や「子ども法」に対して、日本とドイツの比較法的研究に基づき、憲法・民法・刑法・家事事件手続法・国際人権法などの法領域から多角的にアプローチするものである。加えて、医療ネグレクトの背景には優生思想が大きく関係しており、本研究は、この点において「障害法」とも関連があるなど、法学研究の新たな分野を開拓し学術的・社会的貢献をなしうるものである。
