Every country in the world except Somalia and the United States of America have agreed that all children should have the rights listed in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Governments are responsible for making sure that children’s rights are protected. The UNCRC shows the standard that governments should meet in protecting children’s rights. Some articles in the UNCRC are already part of the law of the land. The government has responsibility for improving the law to make life better for children.
