Days of General Discussion

International Network

 

Each year, the Committee holds a day of general discussion. The purpose of the day is to foster a deeper understanding of the contents and implications of the Convention as they relate to specific articles or topics. Representatives of Governments, UN human rights mechanisms and bodies, specialized agencies, NGOs and national human rights institutions can intervene during the public debate.

Even if they are not mentioned in the Convention on th Rights of the Child, rule 75 of the rules of procedures of the Committe on the Rights of the Child allows one or more meetings per year for a general discussion on one specific article of the convention or related subject.

The recommendations of the days of general discussion are only available in English
