Abstract

[The United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) was drafted between 1980 and 1989 in a rather political and complicated process with an open-ended working group of the then UN Commission on Human Rights (Doek, Cantwell, & Detrick, 1992; LeBlanc 1995; Legislative History 2007). The text of the CRC as proposed was unanimously adopted by the General Assembly of the UN on 20 November 1989 (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989). It is the most universally ratified human rights treaty in the history of the UN. By their ratification, 193 states have committed themselves to respect for and a progressive full realization and implementation of the rights of the child as enshrined in the CRC.]
