Refugee Children and Women: Roadmap for develpment

Convention on the Rights of the Child

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.

With these rights comes the obligation on both governments and individuals not to infringe on the parallel rights of others.
