Further to the Convention of the Rights of the Child. One person told me they started to read the article and then thought it was old stuff. Well it is current and was ratified in Canada on Dec. 13, 1991 and became law here Jan. 12, 1992.
Until it is publicized by governments and incorporated into educational systems it remains in the dark. Once widely known it will be a basis to develop children’s responsibility as to what is expected from them. With rights always comes responsibilities. Those who are against the 54 articles likely have never read them.
On Nov. 20, 1990 it was adopted by UN General Assembly. Access to the government’s actual wording is one long winded link.
