KMAN Publication Incorporation Interdisciplinary Studies in Society, Law, and Politics 3060-5687 5 Serial Number 17 2026 06 01 The Status of Children's Right to Education in the Normative Hierarchy of International Law The Status of Children's Right to Education in the Normative Hierarchy of International Law 1 11 10.61838/kman.isslp.237 EN Journal Article 2025 05 01 <p>The right to education has various aspects in international law. One of the significant aspects of the right to education is children's education. Children's education and primary education are temporally aligned; in other words, the right to children's education logically constitutes an instance of the right to primary education, which is imposed as a mandatory and free obligation on states in most domestic and international legal systems. The present study, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method with library research tools, aims to assess the status of the right to children's education in the normative hierarchy of international law. The findings indicate that fundamental human rights have a peremptory character. However, the right to children's education has not been recognized as an instance of fundamental human rights in any international instruments or judicial practices of international courts. Consequently, this right lacks a peremptory character and is considered an ordinary norm in the normative hierarchy of international law.</p> https://journalisslp.com/index.php/isslp/article/download/237/707
