Children’s rights: human rights
Children’s rights are human rights. They protect the child as a human being. As human rights, children’s rights are constituted by fundamental guarantees and essential human rights:
- Children’s rights recognize fundamental guarantees to all human beings: the right to life, the non-discrimination principle, the right to dignity through the protection of physical and mental integrity (protection against slavery, torture, and bad treatments, etc.)
- Children’s rights are civil and political rights, such as the right to identity, the right to a nationality, etc.
- Children’s rights are economic, social, and cultural rights, such as the right to education, the right to a decent standard of living, the right to health, etc.
- Children’s rights include individual rights: the right to live with his or her parents, the right to education, the right to benefit from protection, etc.
- Children’s rights include collective rights: rights of refugee and disabled children, of minority children, or from autochthonous groups.
Children’s rights: rights adapted to children
Children’s rights are human rights specifically adapted to the child because they take into account their fragility, specificities, and age-appropriate needs.
Children’s rights take into account the necessity of the development of the child. The children thus have the right to live and to develop suitably physically and intellectually.
Children’s rights plan to satisfy the essential needs for good development of the child, such as the access to an appropriate alimentation, to necessary care, to education, etc.
Children’s rights consider the vulnerable character of the child. They imply the necessity to protect them. It means to grant particular assistance to them and to provide protection adapted to their age and to their degree of maturity.
So, the children have to be helped and supported and must be protected against labor exploitation, kidnapping, and ill-treatment, etc.
