UN CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD
- The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted unanimously in November 1989. It is an international human rights treaty that stipulates children’s rights under the four core principles of non-discrimination, devotion to the best interests of the child, the right to life, survival and development, and respect for the views of the child.
- This human rights treaty has been ratified by the greatest number of nations (196) in the UN’s history. The Republic of Korea joined the treaty in 1991.
