International perspective on human rights of children: A study of international laws related to protection of human rights of children

The United Nations legal framework provides same human rights to children as other human beings are provided. Resultantly the regional frameworks for the protection of human rights of children provide for same rights for children through various conventions, charters, declarations etc. These documents put obligations over their respective states to protect human rights of children and if at any stage state is found to be indulging in any such processes where human rights of children are violated, that is considered to be a major threat to human rights of children within the U.N. framework. This paper studies the various international laws, treaties, conventions etc which protect the human rights of children. Thereafter some suggestive measures have been recommended through which human rights of children can be secured.
