Report from the Hela Barn in Sweden Network regarding the UN CRC

Summary: Many children suffering from sickness or impaired health in the world have benefitted from alternative/complementary (CAM) treatment to achieve rapid and sustained healing in harmony with the body’s natural desire for good health. Sweden is the only country in Europe which prohibits CAM examination, treatment, and care of children under 8 years. This report argues that the Swedish law contradicts a number of articles in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. pdf: http://www.crin.org/docs/Sweden_HB_NGO_Report.doc
