Human Rights Council Working Group on an optional protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child to provide a communications procedure 2009 [A/HRC/WG.7/1/CRP.7]

---

It is both meaningful and inspiring that the Working Group of the Human Rights Council on an Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child to provide a communications procedure is established during the year of the 20th anniversary of the Convention. This initiative provides a timely opportunity to renew the international community’s commitment to the realization of the rights of the child, being guided by the experience and lessons gained over the last two decades and consolidating further the international system of protection of children’s rights.

 

The process of implementation of the Convention has been rich and far reaching.
