A century of children’s rights: a legacy and an international commitment that stand the test of time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Dive into a century of commitment to children’s rights, from the Geneva Declaration of 1924 to the United Nations Convention of 1989. This publication outlines the key developments and highlights the ongoing commitment to protecting children.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The year 2024 symbolises a century of struggle and significant advances in children’s rights. The adoption of the Geneva Declaration in 1924 was an historic milestone, laying the foundations for an international movement to defend children’s rights. This publication pays tribute to the pioneering spirit of a social movement that is often overlooked in the collective memory. It is the result of a conference given by Dr. Philip Veerman, organised by OKAJU and held on 23 February 2023 at the M\u00ebnscherechtshaus in Luxembourg, under the auspices of the Luxembourg Commission for UNESCO. <\/p>\n\n

Together, we can ensure that they continue to play a central role in our society and that children grow up in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
