Explanation:

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Children’s rights include collective rights: rights of refugee and disabled children, of minority children or from autochthonous groups.

Children are individuals

• Children are neither the possessions of parents nor of the state, nor are they mere people-in-the-making; they have equal status as members of the human family.

Children start life as totally dependent beings

• Children must rely on adults for the nurture and guidance they need to grow towards independence. Such nurture is ideally found from adults in children's families, but when primary adult caregivers cannot meet children's needs, it is up to the State as the primary duty bearer to find an alternative in the best interests of the child.

Making sure that children are equal

• The Government must make sure that all children have the rights in the Convention, regardless of their race, their parent’s race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status (article 2).

Children’s best interests

• The Government must make sure that your best interests are taken into account when any decision is made which affects you.  All organisations working with children should work in a way that is best for children including courts, social workers and state schools (article 3).

Parent’s rights and right to family life

• The Government must respect the rights of your parents / family / carers to raise you, if they are raising you in a way that respects your rights (article 5).  You also have the right to know and be cared for by your parents (article 5), and the government must make sure that you are not taken away from your parents against your will, unless this is in your best interests,
