The uncrc is some rules, which stipulates that all children in the world have the same rightsIn the uncrc is that children have the right to play, go to school, get food, speak their mind. The uncrc states the right of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. But is often called the just for the uncrc. The uncrc consists of rules - or as it correctly is called: articles'.

The main article - or rule - is number.

In article three it says that you should always look at what is best for the child when making decisions about the child's life. It is called also 'the child's best interests'. The uncrc applies to all children.

The uncrc applies to all children - regardless of where in the world they come from and regardless of religion, skin colour and gender.

The uncrc is the most popular menneskerettighedsaftale. It was adopted at the united nations on. november Since almost all countries in the world said yes to comply with the rules, which are in the uncrc. Denmark said yes to the uncrc in. Children are people with their own opinions, emotions and needs on an equal footing with adults. It stands in the uncrc. Earlier, many adults do not accept that children should be respected as self-employed persons. The uncrc has made it quite clear that children just as adults have rights f. to speak their minds, choose their religion and not be exposed to the bank. If some adults f. will stop the children to say their opinion, the children can shout out loud and say that it has the right to according to the the uncrc. The uncrc beats too fast, that children should have a good life. If children are starving, they must have food, because they have the right to it, and not just because, it is sin for them. Compared to many countries Denmark is a pretty good place to be a child. Here, there is free schooling, and there is not a lot of children who go to bed hungry or carry out hazardous child labour. But it does not mean that all have it really good.

The rules of the uncrc is about children's rights

In fact, there is a part of Danish children who have it bad. It may be because they are being beaten at home, or the parents are drinking, or they have it bad in school. You believe that out of ten children, is there one or two that have it so bad, that they need help. The help they are entitled to under the uncrc. You can't go directly into in a court of law in Denmark and use the uncrc as the law. But when a country has agreed to the uncrc, it must adapt its laws according to the rules of the convention. And of course, countries must ensure the children all the rights are in the uncrc. The country's government also has a duty to inform the population about what is in the uncrc. In fact, should children's rights and the uncrc stand on the school curriculum anywhere in the world.

The UN has set up Børnekomiteen, which is an assembly of ten people from around the world.

Børnekomiteen must verify that countries are living up to their duty and ensure that children have their rights fulfilled. All member states must every five years submit a report to the Børnekomiteen about what they have done for the children. Børnekomiteen write a report back to the country, where the committee points out, what the country must do better for children. There is no penalty for failing to comply with the uncrc. Various organizations such as the Red Child also keeps an eye out, they do not violate the rules in the uncrc. For organizations like save the children, Unicef and other børnerettighedsorganisationer is the uncrc is an important tool. Organisations performs relief work in the poor countries, where many of the children's rights are not being respected.

The organizations inform the children, their parents - indeed the whole population, that children have the right to a good life according to the uncrc.

The organisations also goes to the governments and points out that they are actually even has approved the uncrc and therefore committed itself to improving conditions for children.
