UNICEF UK believes that making the Convention part of UK law would give powerful protection to children, and would make sure that all children in the UK, no matter who they are or where they’re from, have their rights realised.
In 1989, governments around the world promised all children the same rights by adopting the CRC. These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential. They apply equally to every child.
