The adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child twenty years ago has led to considerable progress. Yet worrying setbacks and serious violations of children's rights still happen in many parts of the world, and the crisis spreading globally does not, unfortunately, improve the situation.
| It is therefore urgent to launch a new mobilization for childhood on a global scale. For this purpose, and on Bice's initative, individuals and organizations around the world launch a World Appeal to a new mobilization for Childhood open to all signatures until December 31, 2009. |
This Appeal was officially launched on June 4 in Geneva.
