Unfinished business - EU enlargement and child rights

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: The European Commission has
acknowledged the rights of the child
as one element of human rights. This
report surveys the situation of
children in Central and Eastern
European candidate countries in
relation to the rights of the child.The report is not a comparative study but is based on information
from several sources, primarily the UN Committee on the Rights of
the Child, NGOs and the EU Commission. The information
presented in this report demonstrate that the situation of
children and the realisation of their rights is far from satisfactory
in Central and Eastern Europe.

The time has come for all parties involved to fully realise that the
numerous decisions made within the EU have an impact on
children, both directly and indirectly and that children are
individuals with rights of their own.
