[The Children's Rights convention].
A Convention project about Children Rights will be soon submitted for ratification to all member states of the United Nations. It is the continuation of several anterior declarations which principles it recalls in its preamble: fundamental responsibility of the family for the care and the protection of the child, necessity of a social and juridical child protection depending on the state, vital role of an international cooperation so that the children rights will become a reality. After having largely analysed the needs of the child in the world, the project proposes the creation, inside the United Nations, of a Committee of the Children Rights with 10 members. Though a progress in comparison with the anterior declarations, many articles won't be easy to apply immediately: furthermore, the problems differ from the industrialized countries to the most disfavored countries. Nevertheless the Convention constitutes an engagement and a line of conduct for the future.
