  • Convention on the Rights of Child, 1989, UN, New York, pp1- 12. The Convention emphasizes 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 dignity and harmonious development of every child. The Convention protects rights of children by setting up standards in health care; education; and legal, civil and social services.
