Description
Summary:English Intercountry adoption, once viewed as a means of international charity, has recently been challenged by political and economic forces, leading to vio lation of human rights. The authors compare the experiences of two sending countries – Romania and the Marshall Islands – and suggest the utilization of a bottom-up human rights approach. French L’adoption internationale, autrefois vue comme un moyen d’oeuvre de bienfaisance internationale, a récemment été mise en cause par des forces politiques et économiques, comme concourant à la violation de droits de l’homme. Les auteurs comparent les expériences de deux pays d’origine – la Roumanie et les Iles Marshall – et suggèrent l’utilisation d’une approche intégrée des droits de l’homme, de la base au sommet. Spanish La adopción entre países, una vez que se ha visto como significado de caridad internacional, ha sido un reto reciente para las fuerzas políticas y económicas, principalmente en lo que se refiere a la violación de los derechos humanos. Los autores comparan las experiencias de dos países emisores – Rumanía y las Islas Marshall – y sugieren la utilización de un acercamiento al fondo de los derechos humanos.
