Children's rights and the UN - an analysis

This analysis of children’s rights in the work of all UN human rights mechanisms looks at the most frequently raised violations as well as those that are rarely - if ever - addressed. The aim is to encourage UN mechanisms to take a holistic approach to addressing children’s rights and to make sure all rights are covered - and eventually fulfilled.  The analysis also aims to encourage advocates to press for the permanent presence of children's rights in the full range of UN human rights mechanisms.
