This conference in Brussels considers progress made over the past three decades. This progress significantly reflects on the challenges that children and youth face in the modern world.

Convention on the Rights of the Child

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child strives to ensure better implementation of children’s rights worldwide. It has inspired the EU and its member states to change laws, policies and practices aimed at protecting and promoting children’s rights, irrespective of their nationality or residence status. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has become the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history.

A huge progress has been made, but much remains to be done because too many children still do not benefit from their rights that their peers do.
UNICEF

Humanity owes the child the best it can give

This year marks the 60th anniversary of UN General Assembly Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). As the most widely ratified international human rights treaty in history, the CRC has helped to ensure better protection for the rights of children across the globe. On a multilateral level, the EU places great emphasis on this topic.

The Convention has never been more relevant than it is today to make sure that no child is left behind. The European Parliament has a strong commitment towards the protection and promotion of the Rights of the Child. The progress made over three decades and reflect on the challenges ahead in a global and digital world.
