Children's human rights have
occupied the international agenda for the past 20 years. Although
children are entitled to all rights guaranteed in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the
Child remains the most comprehensive piece of legislation for the
betterment of children, covering a wide range of issues in its 54
articles including nutrition, education, health, child trafficking,
child slavery, prostitution and child soldiers. The U.S. remains the
only nation that has not ratified this Convention. Purposes of the Conferences: (a) to inform and educate the public regarding the principles of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. (b) to examine and analyze the 54 articles of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. (c) to examine a national plan of action and develop national and local strategies.
