About

We aim to draft the Compilation of Principles and Standards of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of the Child.

The development of such a document could help in achieving a better and coherent implementation of the economic, social and cultural rights of the child and provide helpful monitoring criteria for UN Treaty Bodies and other international and national bodies. We believe that it will contribute to an enhanced protection and better visibility of children as empowered actors.
