Convention on the
Rights of the Child
Children have
rights as human beings and also need special care and protection.
Built on varied
legal systems and cultural traditions, the
Convention is a universally agreed set of
non-negotiable
standards and
obligations. These basic standards—also
called human
rights—set minimum entitlements and
freedoms that
should be respected by governments. They
are founded on
respect for the dignity and worth of each
individual, regardless of race, colour,
gender, language,
religion, opinions,
origins, wealth, birth status or ability
and therefore apply
to every human being everywhere.
The Convention sets
out these rights in 54 articles and
two Optional Protocols.
It spells out the basic human rights that
children
everywhere have: the right to survival; to
develop to the
fullest; to protection from harmful
influences, abuse and
exploitation; and to participate fully in
family, cultural
and social life.
The four core principles of the Convention
are
non-discrimination; devotion to the best interests of
the child; the
right to life, survival and development; and
respect for the views of the child. Every
right spelled out
in the Convention is inherent to the human
dignity and
harmonious
development of every child. The Convention
protects children's
rights by setting standards in health
care; education;
and legal, civil and social services.
national
governments have committed themselves to
protecting and
ensuring children's rights and they have
agreed to hold
themselves accountable for this
commitment before
the international community.
States parties to
the Convention are obliged to develop
and undertake all
actions and policies in the light of the
best interests of
the child.

ResponderEliminarMaria, as always I love reading your post, and also vising your blog page. I also love the Save the children organization. They do some wonderful and great things for children and families all over the world. I agree with Jessica about your video. The best investment is in children. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this organization.
ResponderEliminarMaria, your posting is extremely good. I do enjoy looking at the photos, while learning something new. No matter the children's economical statuss, and regardless to their diverse backgroung, all children have rights to special care and protection, proper housing, good food and medical services.
ResponderEliminarParents have to take care for their children's guidance and education, while we as educators have to continue being advocates for these children.
Maria, this posting was incredibly interesting and enlightening.
