  • Sylvia Agu

摘要

This chapter delves into the intricate development of children’s rights on the global stage, tracing the historical trajectory, including post World Wars I and II, that led to the creation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). It examines the drafting process of the CRC, highlighting the specific considerations given to children in street situations in its formulation. The text further expands its scope by scrutinising the protective mechanisms that have emerged in the wake of the CRC, encompassing initiatives from various United Nations bodies including United Nations Resolutions. It also briefly highlights initiatives by Non-Governmental Organisations such as the State of the World’s Street Children reports. By exploring these additional safeguards, the chapter provides a holistic view of the evolving landscape of children’s rights, demonstrating how international efforts have continued to adapt and expand beyond the foundational framework established by the CRC. This multifaceted analysis not only illuminates the historical context but also offers insights into the ongoing global commitment to protecting and promoting the rights of children in street situations.
