The Convention on the Rights of the Child treaty spells out the basic human rights that children everywhere - without discrimination - have:
- the right to survival;
- to develop to the fullest;
- to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation;
- to participate fully in family, cultural and social life.
The key objectives of the Child Rights Information Network are to improve the lives of children by:
- meeting the information needs of organisations and individuals working for child rights
