Launch of tool on How to use United Nations Human Rights Resolutions to Advance Children’s Rights

Every year, United Nations (UN) intergovernmental bodies, such as the UN General Assembly and the UN Human Rights Council, adopt several resolutions negotiated among States, which include political expressions and policy recommendations on issues relating to international law, human rights, peace, justice, and security. These documents, which are not always common knowledge and can be difficult to access, can be extremely useful in supporting and advancing your work on children’s rights at all levels. This guide aims to inspire and enable civil society practitioners to make the most of human rights resolutions adopted by the UN to advance children’s rights, especially in their countries. To that end, it provides a step-by-step plan of action, case studies and practical tips and tools to help you on this journey.

Child Identity Protection (CHIP) is pleased to have collaborated on the development of the Guide, including illustrating a practical example of how to use the UN resolutions to promote the child’s right to identity. CHIP highly recommends this super practical tool to advance children’s rights including the preservation and restoration of children’s identity rights.
