The Convention on the Rights of the Child in a world with HIV and AIDS.
Even though the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) has been ratified more quickly and by more governments than any other human rights instrument, the basic principles of the CRC are being repeatedly violated in the response to HIV/AIDS. In this article, based on a presentation at a conference bridging session, Michael Kelly provides examples of how the rights of children are being infringed and concludes that the best solution is to strengthen the capacity of families to protect and care for the children.
