Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD): Session 80

Summary: The 80th session of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) will take place from 13 February to 9 March 2012.

Opportunities for child rights advocates

In addition to providing information on upcoming reviews by the Committee on the Rights of the Child (and indeed on the subsequent Concluding Observations issued), CRIN encourages children's rights advocates to use the full range of opportunities within the UN and regional human rights mechanisms to pursue children's rights advocacy.

Reporting to treaty bodies beyond the Committee on the Rights of the Child presents an opportunity for advocates to raise and press home children's rights issues.

The following States will be reviewed by the Committee:

Canada
Italy
Israel
Jordan
Kuwait
Laos
Mexico
