Abstract: Describes a United Kingdom initiative to create opportunities for youth participation in decision making. Explores issues that have frustrated translation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into a reality in the United Kingdom. Asserts that an agenda based upon children's universal rights has more potential for political change than separate debates about particular groups. (Author/KB)
