for the Rights of Children (CCRC) has been representing children's organizations
in Canada since 1989. The CCRC brings together Canadian organizations and individuals
who are concerned about the rights of children. |
Best Interests of the Child: Meaning and Application
in Canada
The Best Interests of the Child is
a central principle in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. A new report,
released by the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children, explores how this
principle has been used, misused, and under-used in the context of Canadian policy
and practice. The report, entitled Best Interests of the Child: Meaning and
Application in Canada, proposes a rights-based approach for application in
a wide variety of areas. Based on research and a national, multi-disciplinary
conference, the report hopes to foster reflection in Canada on how well we are
living up to our commitment to act in the best interests of children.

Canada's
Record on Children's Rights - September 2007
The
CCRC thinks Canadians have a right to know what Canada was asked to do in 2003
when its Second Report on the Rights of Children was reviewed. If the 45 recommendations
were followed, children in Canada would benefit. Read the overview to learn what
this means for children, and get additional information on specific issues in
the background notes. Canada reports again in 2009. It is time to take action
on the 2003 recommendations to improve our record.

Children: Silenced Citizens?
In
2004 the Senate Human Rights Committee began a study of Canada's international
obligations in relation to the rights of children in Canada. The final report
in 2007, Children: The Silenced Citizens, makes 24 recommendations to bring Canada
into compliance with our legal obligations. The government must respond to the
report by mid-November 2007.

covers (mainly) the period of January 1993 to December 1997 (with occasional

"While the ratification of international treaties is the
prerogative of the Government of Canada, implementation of the treaties requires
the active participation of the governments which have jurisdiction over the subject
matters covered. In Canada, the responsibility for areas covered by the Convention
on the Rights of the Child is shared by the Government of Canada, the provincial
governments and, following a delegation of authority by the Parliament of Canada,
the territorial governments."

this morning exchanged views with representatives of States parties to the Convention
on the Rights of the Child during which the Committee’s proposal to divide
its work into two chambers was discussed. Many representatives of States parties
expressed support for the idea of splitting the Committee into two chambers which
would consider different country reports simultaneously. This would allow the

Child Rights
Information Network
CRIN envisions a world in which every child enjoys all of the human
rights promised by the United Nations, regional organisations, and
national governments alike. Guided by our passion for social and
legal change, CRIN is building a global network for children's rights.
We press for rights, not charity, and advocate for a genuine systemic
shift in how governments and societies view children. Our inspiration
is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC),
which we use to bring children's rights to the top of the international
agenda. We launch advocacy campaigns, lead international children's
rights coalitions, and strive to make existing human rights enforcement
mechanisms accessible for all. More than 2,100 organisations in
150 countries rely on CRIN's publications, research and information

File date: November 2007
This report examines "meaningful"
and "ethical" children's participation but essentially, it means that
children's participation must be guided by the general principles of the Convention
on the Rights of the Child, namely: non-discrimination, the best interest of the
child, the right to life, survival and development and respect for the child's
views.

In this issue:
Dear Readers,
Welcome to 2012 and our yearly look back at the highs and lows for children's
rights in the past year. From the rise of landmark global instruments
to the fall of long-standing dictatorships, 2011 brought momentous developments.
While we celebrate positive legal reform in some areas of human and children’s
rights, we also lament notable regressions. But, not letting these cloud
our hopes for children’s rights in the year ahead, we look forward
to what it has in store for CRIN and for children’s rights globally,
including the mission to get States to ratify the complaints mechanism
for children under the CRC! For a more in-depth recap of CRIN's work in
the past year and the events that shaped it, check out our 2010-2011 annual

Dear Readers,
Welcome to 2011 and our yearly look back at the trials and triumphs of
children's rights advocacy; from the dawn of new instruments, and the
struggle to enforce them, to the accomplishments of joint campaigning
efforts, there is much to reminisce! We also hope to stir up some collective
inspiration for the year ahead to move beyond mirroring the world around
us to forge an ever stronger advocacy network together with the members
who make up CRIN.
Happy reading!
The CRIN Team

some of the popular arguments used to obstruct their implementation. It may help
as an information or advocacy tool, although it is not intended as a comprehensive

a United Nations convention to protect children will be an ongoing process in
Canada, Justice Minister Irwin Cotler told the Senate Human Rights Committee on
Monday. Mr. Cotler said that each new law or regulation passed by Parliament will
continue to obey the rules of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, as with
all international norms. However, he stopped short of endorsing complete compliance
with each one of the Convention's elements, some of which have provoked controversy
since its UN approval over 15 years ago. (...) The UN General Assembly passed
the Convention in 1989, and since then it has earned almost universal acceptance,
with the exceptions being the United States and Somalia. The U.S. has come under
fire for its refusal to agree to a treaty that bans the death penalty for children
under 18 years old. Canada ratified the Convention in 1991."

Children's
Well-Being:
How Poverty Endangers the Health and Life Chances of Children in
Developing Countries
November 16, 2004
"Children in poor countries
are five times as likely to die before their fifth birthdays. Children under the
age of 14 are among the most vulnerable people in the world. In poor countries,
they are five times as likely to die before their fifth birthday due to perinatal
causes and preventable diseases. Past the age of 10, the human rights of children
are violated when they are exploited as child laborers, trafficked for sexual
exploitation and pornography, and forced into service as child soldiers. This
Development Gateway Cross-Topic Special addresses Millennium Development Goal
4 , aimed at reducing by half child mortality for children under five by 2015;
Goal 5, to improve maternal health; and the UN Convention on the Rights of the
Child whose anniversary is commemorated on Universal Children's Day on November
20. This Special also coincides with World AIDS Day on December 1, recognizing
the social and medical impact on children of the global pandemic." [bolding

MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS: What are they?
The Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) are a list of eight quantified targets for addressing global poverty
in its different aspects: income poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter,
lack of access to clean water, exclusion, gender inequality, lack of education,
etc. The goals were drafted by a consensus of experts from
the United Nations Secretariat, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation
for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank in 1999. At
the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000, 189 Heads of State and Governments
pledged to work together to meet these goals by 2015. They signed the Millennium
Declaration, which was then translated into a roadmap with 18 specific targets
and 48 indicators in order to measure progress towards each goal:
