Marking the 25th Anniversary of the adoption of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child
A COFACE delegation is in New York today to join the High-level meeting of the General Assembly on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the adoption of the Convention of the Rights of the Child. Has this text, detailing all the different rights of children, contributed to the improvement of the situation of children worldwide? The answer is yes, even if the picture is patchy, and especially in certain regions of the world children are still being deprived of basic rights, exploited, trafficked and abused. The event will take stock of the progress made, look at the challenges that still lie ahead, and also showcase a number of innovative solutions for safeguarding the rights of people under 18. |
