Protection Measures for Children in Vulnerable Situations
摘要
Children can encounter a range of challenging situations that expose them to particular risk of rights violations and which, accordingly, demand additional forms of protection. In this section, the rights of four such groups of children are addressed:In each case, the Convention builds on already existing international instruments developed to strengthen the commitment to appropriate protection for children caught in these circumstances. And such circumstances must not be used by states to undermine any of the other rights in the Convention. Indeed, the vulnerability of refugee children, or those caught up in trafficking, armed conflict, or the justice system are entitled to additional protections to guarantee their rights.
