A discussion of the principle of the "child's best interest" in legal adjudication is the topic of this essay. My main claim is twofold: first, that a non-trivial use of the principle implies adjudication of pre-existing rights, and secondly, that the application of the principle implies a duty of identification of the norm that contains the adjudicated right.

Palabras llave : Child's Best Interest; Judicial Reasoning; Legal Argumentation; Child Protection Standards; Convention on the Rights of the Child.
