EMERJ, Rio de Janeiro, v. 24, n. 3, p. 168-195, Set.-Dez. 2022  ABSTRACT: Although the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Federal Constitution and the Statute of Children and Adolescents have been in force for more than thirty years, there is still difficulty in implementing the doctrine of full protec- tion in view of the institutional embarrassment of abandoning paternalistic practices or assistance aimed at children and youth. Children’s and Adolescents’ Law has its genesis in international human rights, which attracts its methodology and foundations, highlighting the need for an interdisciplinary approach. In the Convention and in national legislation, it is possible to detect an ambiguity or tension between rights related to protection and rights related to autonomy, which can be solved by interdiscipli- narity with other social and human sciences in order to open the horizon of legal science in searching for interpretation and solu- tion for specific cases involving children and adolescents. The method applied is deductive, with qualitative, theoretical and bibliographic research in which, initially, the rights of children and adolescents were linked to human rights, and then focused on the need for interdisciplinarity to understand childhood and adolescence and parental and state power in the enforcement of these rights. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Criança e Adolescente – Direitos Humanos – Interdisciplinaridade KEYWORDS: Children and Adolescent – Human Rights - Interdisciplinarity INTRODUÇÃO O Direito da Criança e do Adolescente ganhou nas últi- mas décadas expressiva importância com a promulgação da Convenção sobre os Direitos da Criança no âmbito dos direi- tos humanos internacionais. Os debates de seus grupos de trabalho exerceram significativa influência na Constituição Federal de 1988 e no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, em 1990, com a introdução da doutrina da proteção integral no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro.
