International Protection of Children's Rights Under the Provisions of
International Human Rights Law
Abstract
Protecting children's rights has developed internationally through the issuance of various declarations, covenants, and international conventions, from the Geneva Declaration of 1924 to the Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989 and its optional protocols. These agreements aim to ensure children's fundamental rights, such as the right to life, education, healthcare, and protection from exploitation or recruitment in armed conflicts, in addition to combating child trafficking and sexual exploitation. Despite international efforts, children's rights continue to be violated, especially in developing countries, which necessitates strengthening legislation and international cooperation to eliminate these phenomena and provide a safe environment for children.
