Abstract:

The phenomenon of child begging has been largely spreading lately and has impacted society and child beggars alike. Nevertheless, there are many ways to counter this phenomenon in all its aspects. Since this research paper is limited to studying the legal aspect of this phenomenon, the focus has been placed on the lawful means to achieve that purpose. This research paper analyses the legal rules in international conventions and domestic laws enacted to counter this phenomenon. It found a considerable insufficiency of legal regulations in both procedural and substantive rules at the domestic level that would hinder the process of countering this phenomenon.
