The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child is a group of experts that monitors how countries follow the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is an international treaty aimed at protecting children’s rights. They assess countries’ efforts to ensure children’s safety, education, health, and well-being. Countries submit reports on their progress, and the committee provides guidance, recommendations, and encouragement to improve children’s lives globally. Their goal is to promote and protect the rights of all children everywhere, ensuring they grow up safe, healthy, and empowered.
