The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is an international human rights agreement — also known as a human rights treaty — that outlines the specific rights that children and young people can claim. Nearly every country in the world, including Australia, has committed to the Convention, making it the most widely supported human rights treaty. This week, Settlement Guide explains what rights children have in Australia and how these are protected through Australian laws. Feature by Chiara Pazzano Renuka presents in Tamil.
