The Centre's summary of the publication
This study is based on the experiences of the first ombudsman
for Children in the world, to promote and protect the interests of
children in society vis a vis public and private authorities and to
follow up conditions under which children grow up.
Comparing the Norwegian office with similar initiatives in other
countries, the analysis indicates the facilitating factors may well
serve as guidelines for monitoring bodies elsewhere, even
though adjustments to local traditions, culture, and conditions
may be necessary. Thus the study provides a basis which
countries all over the world, spurred by the UN Convention on the
rights of the child, can use and thus with more speed and
efficiency establish effective monitoring both of conditions for
children and of the governmental reports to the Committee on
the Rights of the Child."
