Abstract
* Every child has the right to divorce his parents * When parents are divorced, no arrangement may be made for their child's custody without his consent * Parents or guardians may not take decisions concerning a child of seven or older without discussing it with him first.
These three extracts come from Eight Theses of a Child's Rights (appended), compiled by a Swedish Professor of Law. A government committee considering children's rights is expected to recommend some of them for enactment into Swedish law.
