General Comments of the Committee on the Rights of the Child
Interpretations of the Convention on the Rights of the Child's provisions and principles.
State of the World's Children
On 20 November 2009, the global community celebrates the 20th anniversary of the adoption by the United Nations General Assembly of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the unique document that sets international standards for the care, treatment and protection of all individuals below age 18. To celebrate this landmark, the United Nations Children's Fund is dedicating a special edition of its flagship report The State of the World's Children to examining the Convention's evolution, progress achieved on child rights, challenges remaining, and actions to be taken to ensure that its promise becomes a reality for all children.
Promoting the Rights of Children with Disabilities
The Innocenti Digest on Promoting the Rights of Children with Disabilities attempts to provide a global perspective on the situation of some 200 million children with disabilities. The Digest is based on reports from countries across regions and from a wide range of sources. These include accounts by persons with disabilities, their families and members of their communities, professionals, volunteers and non-governmental organizations, as well as country reports submitted by Member States to the United Nations, including to human rights treaty bodies responsible for monitoring the implementation of international human rights treaties
Child Well-being at a Crossroads
After almost two decades of transition, the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region continues to be a region in a state of change. The report uses available data to identify critical economic and social trends and assess the impact of policies on children in the period of growth immediately preceding the current crisis. It also looks at changes in the context in which children are growing up: the character of economic growth, widening inequalities, striking demographic trends, as well as public expenditure levels and structures, all of which influence policy choices that affect children.
The Children Left Behind
This Report Card presents a first overview of inequalities in child well-being for 24 of the world's richest countries. Three dimensions of inequality are examined: material well-being, education, and health. In each case and for each country, the question asked is 'how far behind are children being allowed to fall?' In drawing attention to the depth of disparities revealed, and in summarising what is known about the consequences, it argues that 'falling behind' is a critical issue not only for millions of individual children today but for the economic and social future of their nations tomorrow.
Worlds of Influence
For the last 20 years, the Innocenti Report Card series has led the way in comparing children's well-being across rich countries. Report Card 16 develops this further through a multi-level approach to show that children's well-being is influenced by children's own actions and relationships, by the networks and resources of their caregivers, and by public policies and the national context. This approach is aligned with the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, in that it recognizes the responsibilities of governments, families and communities to help realize children's rights and promote their well-being.
The General Measures of the Convention on the Rights of the Child
This publication examines the reporting process for implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), addressing four general measures: law reform, national independent institutions for children's rights, national co-ordinating mechanisms, and monitoring implementation of the CRC. The general measures of implementation are cross-cutting measures which extend to all rights set out in the CRC and which form the framework upon which specific rights are based. This study reviews implementation in countries that have submitted two reports to the Committee on CRC implementation, and the review is based primarily on the reports of States Parties to the Committee and other documents generated as part of the CRC reporting process, supplemented in some cases by information received from UNICEF field offices and expert opinions.
