This chapter introduces the notion that ‘child empowerment’ rights intersect with ‘child protection’ rights with each bolstering the other. Various judicial and quasi-judicial strategies for child disempowerment are discussed. The child climate case Chiara Sacchi et al. v Argentina et al. ruled inadmissible by the Committee on the Rights of the Child under the Convention on the Rights of the Child complaint mechanism as well as a child right to vote case ruled inadmissible by the same Committee are analysed in terms of the child disempowerment strategies employed by this adjudicating international human rights body. Also discussed is the child-led climate case Duarte Agostinho and Others v. Portugal and 32 Other States and the European Court of Human Rights Grand Chamber reneging (on the view here) on inter-generational obligations to equity and justice in that case.
