In 1989, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, or the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, has been presented, accepted and signed at the UNO General Assembly on the main square of the United Nations (UN) in New York. In this way, a child-specific, legal framework was developed, to which numerous projects, educational policy measures, initiatives and various actions for the implementation of these rights and thus the development of a child-friendly, non-violent, caring, solidary and peace-building oriented education and relational culture has been launched.

The original text of the Convention on the Rights of the Child

contains 54 articles.

UNICEF, as the children's rights organization of the United Nations (UNO), sumarises the convention in ten fundamental rights together.

and for creating a child-friendly society.

With the anchoring of the central basic principles of the Convention, according to which the child welfare (Kindeswohl) is the overriding consideration (Art. 1) and the child's views must be taken into account (Art. 4), the aim is to ensure that children's rights are respected.
