the Convention on the Rights of the Child” which is funded from European Commission’s Fundamental

implementation of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child have been realised at European, national
and community level. The project focuses on the EU institutions and five European countries: Lithuania,
Italy, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
